Haben US-Ökonomen bei einer spektakulären Studie über die Folgen von illegalen Musikdownloads für die Plattenindustrie unsauber gearbeitet? Ein Kollege erhebt schwere Vorwürfe, doch die Autoren weigern sich, ihre Daten herauszurücken. Die Vorgänge erschüttern das Vertrauen das renommierte Journal of Political Economy. -

Im Projekt DOARC sollen Autoren und Leser leistungsfähige Werkzeuge zur Literaturverwaltung im Internet erhalten. Beispiele hierfür sind neben dem Import und Export von Referenzen in Standardformaten wie BibTeX und EndNote vor allem auch die Darstellung verwandter Arbeiten mittels Zitationsgraphen. Neben unterschiedlichen Möglichkeiten zur interaktiven Visualisierung ähnlicher Themengebiete, Zitationshäufigkeiten etc. sollen diese eine direkte Navigation zu verwandten Arbeiten ermöglichen. Um die Nutzerfreundlichkeit und Popularität dieser Werkzeuge zu erhöhen, sollen sie zeitnah in der etablierten Fach-Community des Cluster Science Net implementiert und erprobt werden. Die Erschließung von Zitationen soll in enger Kopplung mit dem Vorhaben Open- Access (OAN) Netzwerk erfolgen, die Attraktivität von OA-Repositorien erhöhen und somit den Open-Access-Prozess unterstützen. DOARC wird auf international abgestimmten Metadaten aufbauen, zu Diensten wie etwa dem etablierten Citebase kompatibel sein und somit im Verbund mit den DINI-zertifizierten Repositorien über das Infrastruktur-Layer des Vorhabens OA-Netzwerk zu einer Verbesserung der internationalen Sichtbarkeit der Publikationen beitragen. Der DOARC-Dienst soll zum Projekt-Abschluss vollständig in das OA-Netzwerk-Portal und das Infrastruktur-Layer integriert sein.

Publishing humanities monographs in Open Access
OAPEN is a project in Open Access publishing for humanities and social sciences monographs. The consortium of University-based academic publishers who make up OAPEN believe that the time is ripe to bring the successes of scientific Open Access publishing to the humanities and social sciences.
The OAPEN partners are all active in the Open Access movement already, with details available on their pages on this site and on their own websites.
The project will find useful, exciting and beneficial ways of publishing scholarly work in Open Access, enhancing access to important peer reviewed research from across Europe. Most importantly it will find a financial model which is appropriate to scholarly humanities monographs, a publishing platform which is beneficial to all users and create a network of publishing partners across Europe and the rest of the world.
The partners:
Amsterdam University Press
Georg-August Universität Göttingen
Museum Tusculanum Press
Manchester University Press
Presses Universitaires de Lyon
Firenze University Press
University of Amsterdam
Leiden University
Established in 2003, E-LIS is an international Open Archive for Library and Information Science (LIS). Over 11,500 papers have been archived to date. It is freely accessible, aligned with the Open Access (OA) movement and is a voluntary enterprise.
Am 24. November 2009 hat das OLG Frankfurt seine Entscheidung im Berufungsverfahren im Streit zwischen der ULB Darmstadt und dem Ulmer-Verlag verkündet.
This paper by Paul Peters, the Senior Publishing Developer of Hindawi Publishing Corporation, has been written for publication in the conference proceedings of Online Information 2006. Peters presents different open access publishing models and explains why so-called Big Deal journal subscription packages create a barrier to entry into the publishing market.
He explains that these packages are a barrier because only large publishing firms can offer a package with many different journal titles. In contrast, Peters favours the Author-Pays- Model which provides, in his opinion, a sustainable open access publishing model.
The following is a model open-access policy in the Harvard style — with a freely waivable
rights-retaining license and a deposit requirement. This language is based on and
informed by the policies voted by several Harvard faculties, as well as MIT, Stanford University
School of Education, Duke University, and others. I have added some annotations
explaining why the wording is chosen as it is.
Further information explaining the motivation for and implementation of the Harvard
open-access policies is available at the web site of Harvard’s Office for Scholarly Communication
(http://osc.hul.harvard.edu/). Inquiries about the policy and this
model language can be made to osc@hulmail.harvard.edu.
This document will be updated over time as further refinements are made to the policy.

In einer Stellungnahme zum "Dritten Korb" des Urheberrechts fordert der Deutsche Bibliotheksverband (dbv) eine Lockerung des geltenden Urheberrechts. So sollen unter anderem die Wiedergabe von Dokumenten an elektronischen Leseplätzen und das Recht auf Privatkopie ausgeweitet werden. Welche Folgen dies für Verlage haben könnte, fragte boersenblatt.net in einem Gespräch mit Gabriele Beger, Vorsitzende des dbv und Direktorin der Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg.
An international consortium of about 700 academic institutions and research organizations, ICPSR provides leadership and training in data access, curation, and methods of analysis for the social science research community.
ICPSR maintains a data archive of more than 500,000 files of research in the social sciences. It hosts 16 specialized collections of data in education, aging, criminal justice, substance abuse, terrorism, and other fields.
ICPSR's educational activities include the Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research external link, a comprehensive curriculum of intensive courses in research design, statistics, data analysis, and social methodology. ICPSR also leads several initiatives that encourage use of data in teaching, particularly for undergraduate instruction.
ICPSR-sponsored research focuses on the emerging challenges of digital curation and data science. ICPSR researchers also examine substantive issues related to our collections, with an emphasis on historical demography and the environment.
ICPSR receives grants from a number of government agencies and private foundations.
ICPSR is a unit within the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan and maintains its office in Ann Arbor.
The German-North American Resources Partnership (GNARP) is one of the working projects of the Global Resources Network. Originally known as the German Demonstration Project, it was renamed German Resources Project in 1998 to reflect its establishment as a long-term project focusing on improving the effective acquisition, sharing, and use of German-language materials among North American libraries and also the fostering of closer collaboration with German research libraries. In 2002 it adopted its current name to emphasize the goal of transatlantic collaboration. Currently there are 46 member libraries in North America and 5 in Germany.
