Abstract In 2012, the Open Access Movement to scientific information celebrated ten years of existence. The period, which represents the first stage of consolidation of the movement, has been analyzed to allow the planning of new phases. With the purpose of providing tools and contributing to these discussions, the article addresses the historical aspects of the international and regional constitution of Open Access Movement. The approach was developed from a descriptive temporal narrative of the main events and initiatives identified in the scientific literature on the subject. The elements discussed in the present study work were organized under two parameters. The first refers to a temporal perspective, defined from the publication of Budapest Open Access Initiative. The second is related to brief discussion of the participation of Latin America. As result, we present a timeline of open access in the world and in Latin America, showing the main aspects covered in the study. The goal of the study is achieved by the proposed systematization as we analyze the open access initiatives in Latin America and establish how they influenced and were influenced by other regions of the world.

The present paper investigated a developed method for the quantitative evaluation of involvement of countries in the international open access movement. It identified eight country open access indices which were initially connected with open access initiatives and instruments, their weighing, normalization and aggregation in a weighted average value. In a second more strict approximation, the number of indices was reduced up to six for the account of discarding duplicated data in ROAR and Open DOAR. Budapest initiative and Berlin declaration were considered as ОА-initiatives; and data of the international registers, DOAJ, SHERPA/RoMEO, ROAR MAP and the Webometrics ОА-repositories ranking, was considered as the tools. The calculation was done on the basis of a developed method for 133 countries.

<strong>German Abstract</strong> Die Erklärungen und Positionierungen zu Open Access anfangs der 2000er Jahre waren von Umbruchstimmung, Euphorie und Idealismus getragen, eine Revolution des wissenschaftlichen Publizierens wurde vielfach vorhergesagt. Die Erwartungen an Open Access lagen auf der Hand und waren umrissen: Wissenschaftlern war an rascher Verbreitung ihrer eigenen Texte gelegen sowie an der Verfügbarkeit der Texte ihrer Kollegen, Bibliothekaren an einer Abhilfe für stark steigende Journalpreise, den Wissenschaftseinrichtungen an effizienter und freier Verbreitung ihrer Inhalte. Einzig die Position der kommerziellen Wissenschaftsverlage zu Open Access war überwiegend zögerlich bis ablehnend.

Vielmehr scheint aktuell die Entwicklung des Open Access weitgehend von den vormals in Open-Access-Szenarien kaum erwähnten kommerziellen Verlagen angetrieben. Zwar findet sich auch Open Access in wissenschaftlicher Selbstverwaltung, dennoch bleiben die Akteure im wissenschaftlichen Publizieren bislang die gleichen wie 2001 und die schon damals bekannten Konzentrationseffekte am Publikationsmarkt setzen sich fort. <strong>English Abstract</strong> The declaration and positions on Open Access in the early 2000s spread a mood of upheaval, euphoria, and idealism, a revolution of scientific publishing was regularly predicted. The expectations for Open Access were obvious and clear: scientists wanted to share their own articles immediately with other scientist (and they also wanted to have easy full text access to the texts of their colleagues), librarians needed a remedy for exploding journal prices, the scientific institutions wanted funded research to be efficiently and freely disseminated. Only the position of the commercial publishers to Open Access was predominantly hesitant or even disapproving. This contribution attempts to draw a balance on Open Access 15 years after the Budapest Open Access Initiative meeting in 2001. 2016 it must be noted that the hopes of Open Access advocates for a revolution will be disappointed. On the contrary, today the development of Open Access seems to be largely driven by the commercial publishers, which were barely mentioned in the early Open Access scenarios. Although there non-commercial Open Access in scientific self-administration exists, today the actors in scientific publishing are still the same as in 2001, and the already known concentration effects on the publishing market continue. <strong>French Abstract</strong> Les déclarations et les positions sur l'Open Access du début des années 2000 étaient portées par l'esprit de bouleversement, l'euphorie et l'idéalisme : on prédisait souvent une révolution dans le domaine de l'édition scientifique. Les attentes à l’égard de l'Open Access étaient évidentes : les scientifiques étaient intéressés par la diffusion rapide de leurs propres textes et par l’accès aux textes de leurs collègues, les bibliothécaires par une possibilité de contourner la hausse rapide des prix des périodiques, les institutions scientifiques par une diffusion efficace et rapide de leurs contenus. Seule la position de la plupart des éditeurs scientifiques commerciaux était hésitante, voire hostile. L'article tente de tirer un bilan de l’Open Access, 15 ans après la réunion de l'Open Access Initiative de Budapest de 2001. En 2016 nous devons constater que la révolution espérée par les principaux avocats des premiers jours de l’Open Access n’aura probablement pas lieu. Au contraire, aujourd’hui, l’Open Access semble largement poussé par les éditeurs commerciaux qui, auparavant, étaient à peine mentionnés dans les scénarios de l'Open Access. Bien qu’on trouve aussi l’Open Access sous gestion scientifique autonome, les acteurs de l'édition scientifique restent les mêmes qu'en 2001 et les phénomènes de concentration sur le marché de la publication se poursuivent.

Acceso abierto a la ciencia: Desafíos y oportunidades para Latinoamérica Al hablar de acceso abierto a las publicaciones científicas, me gusta recordar la definición dada en la Declaración de Acceso Abierto de Budapest (2002): “Significa el hecho donde cualquier individuo interesado en esta literatura pueda leer, descargar, copiar, distribuir, imprimir, buscar o enlazar textos completos de los artículos científicos y usarlos con cualquier propósito legítimo, de manera libre y abierta; la única restricción del acceso abierto está en otorgarles a los autores el respeto a la integridad de su trabajo y el derecho a ser adecuadamente reconocidos y citados”. Me parece una definición realmente completa y brillante, que además nos invita a soñar con un mundo en el que el conocimiento científico es colaborativo, compartido y permita su aplicación tanto local como regionalmente.

Procurar una ciencia abierta es objetivo explícito formal desde la Budapest Open Access Initiative, una propuesta de Open Society Foundation, fundada por Soros (empresario y filántropo) en 2001. Open Society es la 6ª fundación privada de carácter filantrópico que más ha contribuido al desarrollo en 2021 (OCDE, 2022). Dos décadas después, la UNESCO realizó una serie de Recomendaciones sobre Ciencia Abierta (2021), un concepto que aglutina distintas iniciativas encaminadas a hacer del conocimiento científico algo accesible, disponible y reutilizable para toda la comunidad científica y la ciudadanía, que logre multiplicar las colaboraciones entre el personal investigador y la transferencia efectiva, en todas sus versiones: universidad-universidad/centros de investigación; universidad-administración pública; universidad-empresa y universidad-sociedad.

Mit der Sonderausgabe des Newsletters 2/2006 möchte die Universitätsbibliothek ergänzend zum Rundschreiben des Rektors 02/2006 den Angehörigen der TU Chemnitz weitere Informationen zum Thema Open Access (OA) geben. Die Universitätsbibliothek begrüßt den Beschluß von Rektorat und Senat zur Unterstützung von Open Acces an der TU Chemnitz mit dem Wortlaut - Rektorat und Senat der TU Chemnitz fordern die Autoren der Universität nachdrücklich auf, ihre wissenschaftlichen Publikationen als Pre- oder Postprintversion, soweit rechtliche Bedenken der Verlage nicht entgegenstehen, auf dem Publikationsserver MONARCH der TU Chemnitz abzulegen. - Rektorat und Senat ermutigen die Wissenschaftler der TU Chemnitz, in bestehenden Open-Access-Zeitschriften zu publizieren. Gerade die Bibliothek der TU Chemnitz als Dienstleister für Wissenschaftler und Studierende hat die Auswirkungen der Zeitschriftenkrise bitter zu spüren bekommen. Eine drastische Reduzierung des Zeitschriftenbestandes seit Mitte der 90er Jahre ist die Folge. Schon lange beklagen die Wissenschaftler diese Situation. Die Universitätsbibliothek ist der Auffassung, dass langfristig und durch eine weltweite Unterstützung von Open Access diese Entwicklung korrigiert und die Krise im System der wissenschaftlichen Kommunikation überwunden werden kann. Die Etablierung des "Prinzips des offenen Zugangs" setzt jedoch die aktive Beteiligung jedes einzelnen Produzenten von wissenschaftlicher Information voraus. Entscheidend für die erfolgreiche Umsetzung der geplanten Open Access Aktivitäten an der TU Chemnitz ist die Akzeptanz unter den Wissenschaftlern und vor allem deren aktive Unterstützung<br>This is a special issue of the library's newsletter. In addition to the rector-circular 02/2006 we would like to give you further information about open access publishing at our university. The library welcomes the joint resolution recently made by the university's rectorate and its senate to support open access publishing at Chemnitz University of Technology. - Rectorate and Senate of Chemnitz University of Technology invite the authors to publish their scientific works as pre- or postprintversion in MONARCH, under attention of the copyright. - Rectorate and Senate encourage the scientists to publish in open access journals. The library as a service provider for scientists and students is confronted with the effects of journal crisis. A dramatically reduction of acquired journal titles is the result. The university library is in the conviction that a long-term and world-wide support of Open Access can corrected and negotiate this development. Therefore is the activity of each individual producer of scientific information important. The acceptance and assistance from our authors is the base for transposition Open Access to the Chemnitz University of Technology

Conferencia realizado del 12 al 14 de setiembre en Lima, Peru del 2012 en el marco del 15º Simposio Internacional de Tesis y Disertaciones Electrónicas (ETD 2012). Evento aupiciado por la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) y la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC).<br>This presentation will cover the specifications of the Budapest Open Access Initiative
(BOAI) – a significant movement gaining momentum worldwide – and examine the
implications BOAI would have on ETD publishing.
The vision of the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) is the “completely free
and unrestricted access” to scholarly literature “by all scientists, scholars, teachers,
students, and other curious minds.” Building on earlier OA declarations signed in
Bethesda and Berlin, BOAI reflects the principle that open access publishing “will
accelerate research, enrich education, share the learning of the rich with the poor and
the poor with the rich, make this literature as useful as it can be, and lay the
foundation for uniting humanity in a common intellectual conversation and quest for
knowledge.” While BOAI has been initiated to address new forms of journal
publishing, “it could be extended quite naturally to all the writings for which authors
do not expect payment... These include theses and dissertations.” (Budapest Open
Access Initiative:Frequently Asked Questions,
http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/boaifaq.htm)
As unique works intended to enter the stream of scholarship, ETD’s are a natural
candidate for OA publishing. But are the requirements of Budapest suitable for the
ETD community? For example, the requirement for distribution under a CC-BY
license means that an ETD could be redistributed by any interested party, whether for
free or for profit, an objectionable outcome for some authors and institutions. All
BOIA implications for ETD publishing will be examined in this presentation.

Full textAbstract:
Der Bedarf an unselbständiger Literatur hat sich, auch durch die Etablierung der Online-Form, verändert und vergrößert. Aktuelle Versuche dem umfassenden Bedarf des wissenschaftlichen Lesers durch Paketlizenzierung von Subskriptionszeitschriften und Bündelung der Interessen in Konsortien zu begegnen, sind nicht ausreichend. Die Open-Access(OA)-Initiative, mit dem Konzept der freien Veröffentlichung von wissenschaftlichen Publikationen, sollte hier die Lösung sein. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit geprüft, inwiefern deutsche Wissenschaftliche Bibliotheken OA-Publikationen im Angebot des Zeitschriftenmanagement berücksichtigen.
Wesentlicher Gegenstand zur Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage sind die Ergebnisse einer weltweiten Online-Befragung von 358 Mitarbeitern des Zeitschriftenmanagements sowie 18 Verlagsvertretern. Diese erfolgt nach theoretischer Analyse des Marktes der wissenschaftlichen Subskriptionszeitschriften und des (Nullpreis-)Marktes von OA-Publikationen sowie der Strukturen des Zeitschriftenmanagements und der OA-Initiative.
Passivität und Unsicherheit prägen im Ergebnis den Umgang von OA-Publikationen im Zeitschriftenmanagement, vor allem in Deutschland. Jedoch wirkt das universitäre Umfeld allgemein und besonders in Nordamerika und Großbritannien deutlich förderlich. Jedoch wird deutlich, dass OA kein Geld spart, sondern die Zugangsentscheidung an Autoren verschiebt, während die Übernahme der finanziellen Verantwortung (noch) unklar bleibt.
Um eine umfassende Bedarfsdeckung zu erreichen, sind OA-Publikationen notwendig wie sinnvoll. Für eine weitere Berücksichtigung im Zeitschriftenmanagement Wissenschaftlicher Bibliotheken müsste sowohl dezidierter auf die Publikationskulturen der einzelnen Fachgebiete eingegangen sowie auch interne und einrichtungsübergreifende Prozesse und Standards geschaffen werden.<br>The need for academic journals and articles changed and increased, amongst other things, due to the successful establishment of online editions. Current attempts to meet the extensive need of the academic reader with bundling journals in packets and interest in consortia, are insufficient. The Open Access (OA) initiative with the concept of free academic publications should have been the solution to the financial limits of the libraries. Given this context the present study identifies if and how German academic libraries consider OA publications in their journal management.
One of the key items to answer this research question is the comparative evaluation of a worldwide online survey with 358 library journal managers and 18 representatives of academic publishers. This survey was developed on the basis of a theoretical analysis of the market of academic subscription journals and the (‘zero price’) market of OA publications as well as the structures of journal management and the OA initiative.
The key finding of this study are that passivity and uncertainty characterize the handling of OA publications in journal management, especially in Germany. On the other hand university environments in general and particularly in North America and Great Britain are supportive. The gaps in literature supply from readers’ perspective seem not to be big enough to change the established structures interdisciplinary. In addition, it is evident that OA doesn’t save money at all. OA is just switching the access decision from libraries to authors, while the assumption of the financial responsibility stays unclear.
OA publications are necessary and useful to satisfy the needs of the academic readers. But for an ongoing consideration in journal management, academic libraries have to analyze the publication culture of the subject disciplines in more detail while at the same time create internal and inter-institutional processes and structures.

Vortrag im Rahmen der Open Access Tage 2013, Session "Rechtliche Aspekte des Open Access":
Bereits in der „Budapest Open Access Initiative“, dem „Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing“ und der „Berliner Erklärung über offenen Zugang zu wissenschaftlichem Wissen“ wird die rechtliche Dimension von Open Access deutlich: Wissenschaftliche Werke sollen nicht nur zugänglich sondern nach nachnutzbar sein. Bei der Umsetzung des Grünen Weges des Open Access kann diese Nachnutzung nur selten umgesetzt werden, da wissenschaftliche AutorInnen im Rahmen von „Copyright Transfer Agreements“ mehrheitlich ausschließliche Nutzungsrechte an Verlage übertragen. Das sich in der politischen Diskussion befindliche Zweitveröffentlichungsrecht würde wissenschaftliche AutorInnen die rechtssichere Zugänglichmachung ihrer Werke auf Repositorien gewähren und damit einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Förderung von Open Access leisten. Vor dem Hintergrund der anhaltenden Diskussion um ein wissenschaftsfreundliches Urheberrecht und der Verankerung eines unabdingbaren Zweitveröffentlichungsrechts widmet sich die Session den rechtlichen Aspekten von Open Access. Referiert und diskutiert werden u.a. die Chancen und Herausforderungen von nicht-exklusiven Verwertungsgesellschaften im Wissenschaftsbereich sowie der Stand und die Perspektive des Zweitveröffentlichungsrechts. Darüber hinaus wird die praktische Umsetzung des Grünen Weges betrachtet: Am Beispiel der SLUB Dresden und dem DINI-Zertifikat 2013 wird der Umgang mit rechtliche Fragestellungen skizziert und mit den TeilnehmerInnen diskutiert.

Full textAbstract:
Der Vortrag wurde im Rahmen der Informationsveranstaltung „Elektronisches Publizieren an der TU Chemnitz – 10 Jahre MONARCH“ gehalten. Mit dem sprunghaften Anstieg wissenschaftlicher Publikation steigt die Informationsflut ständig weiter an. Im Zeitalter des Internet werden Veröffentlichungen in kürzester Zeit bereitgestellt und damit weltweit verfügbar. Andererseits führt die monopolistische Preispolitik von Großverlagen dazu, dass die wissenschaftlichen Informationen nicht mehr allen Interessierten zur Verfügung gestellt werden können. In den letzten Jahren ist speziell im STM-Bereich (Science, Technology, Medicine) eine enorme Steigerung der Zeitschriftenpreise zu verzeichnen. Aufgrund des sinkenden Erwerbungsetats der Bibliotheken ist die wissenschaftliche Informationsversorgung nicht mehr ausreichend gewährleistet. Konventionelle Lösungsansätze erweisen sich nicht als Ausweg aus der Informationskrise. Als alternatives Publikationsmodell wird Open Access betrachtet. Die wissenschaftlichen Informationen stehen kostenfrei und dauerhaft zur Verfügung. Gegründet wurde die Open Access Initiative 2001. Sie wird national u.a. unterstützt vom Wissenschaftsrat, der Kultusministerkonferenz und der Hochschulrektorenkonferenz. Zwei Jahre später wurde die "Berliner Erklärung über offenen Zugang zu wissenschaftlichem Wissen" verabschiedet und von führenden Wissenschaftsorganisationen des Landes (WR, HRK, DFG, Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, Max Planck Gesellschaft u.v.a.) unterzeichnet. Open Access-Dokumente können in Open Access-Zeitschriften oder z.Bsp. auf Dokumentenservern der Hochschulen veröffentlicht werden. Der Publikationsserver der TU Chemnitz, MONARCH wurde von der Deutschen Initiative für Netzwerkinformation zertifiziert. Der gemeinsam von Universitätsbibliothek und Universitätsrechenzentrum betreute Dienst entspricht nationalen und internationalen Standards. Im Vortrag wird abschließend auf praktische Beispiele nationaler Aktivitäten hingewiesen und es werden Möglichkeiten zur Umsetzung des Open Access Gedankens an der Technischen Universität Chemnitz angesprochen<br>The lecture was held in the context of the information meeting "Electronic publishing at the Chemnitz University of Technology - 10 years MONARCH". With the precipitous rise of scientific publication the flood of information continues to rise constantly. In the age of the Internet publications are made available in shortest time and are accessible world-wide. On the other hand the monopolyistic price strategy of large publishing houses leads to the fact that the scientific information can be made available no more all interested ones. In the last years particularly an enormous increase of the magazine prices is to be registered within the STM range (Science, Technology, Medicine). Due to the sinking acquisition budget of the libraries the scientific information supply is no longer ensured sufficiently. Conventional solutions do not prove as a way out of the information crisis. As alternative publication model Open Access is regarded. The scientific information is available free of charge and durably. The Open Access Initiative was created 2001. It supported national among others of the scientific organisations Wissenschaftsrat, Kultusministerkonferenz and Hochschulrektorenkonferenz. Two years later the "Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities" was adopted and by prominent science organizations of the country (WR, HRK, DFG, Fraunhofer Society, Max Planck Society u.v.a.) signed. Open Access-documents can be published in Open Access-journals or e.g. on document repositories of the universities. The publication server MONARCH was certificated by the German Initiative for Network Information. MONARCH is conformed to national and international standards. In the lecture finally referred to practical examples of national activities and it will suggested possibilities for the conversion of the Open Access thought at the Chemnitz University of Technology

Full textAbstract:
Recentemente estudiosos como Benkler, Lessig, Boyle, Hess e Ostrom retomaram o uso do conceito de commons, mas agora relacionado à informação em geral ou à informação científica. Nesse trabalho, nós lançamos mão desse termo para destacar o caráter cooperativo da pesquisa científica, a importância da transparência e neutralidade no acesso ao commons da Ciência e a natureza anti-rival da informação científica. O conceito de commons nos é muito útil para focar todo o conjunto dos artigos científicos já publicados, quer estejam na forma impressa ou na digital. Ainda permite um estudo através de prismas multidisciplinares e, finalmente, enfatiza a dinâmica das comunidades científicos como um todo. Em qualquer commons de informação, quanto maior a distribuição do conhecimento, mais dinâmico e eficiente é o processo de evolução do conhecimento. A tecnologia da imprensa tem desempenhado um papel fundamental na divulgação de informação e o seu surgimento marcou uma revolução no conhecimento e na cultura da nossa civilização. A tecnologia digital tem se mostrado mais eficiente ainda, uma vez que a natureza da sua implementação em bits se aproxima mais da natureza anti-rival das idéias do que qualquer outra tecnologia hoje empregada para preservação e distribuição de informação. Em nosso estudo, constatamos que o commons da Ciência pode ser enormemente enriquecido através de práticas cooperativas e de acesso aberto na publicação da academia. Percebemos também que o uso da tecnologia digital no commons científico, especialmente na publicação dos resultados da pesquisa, aumenta grandemente a distribuição do conhecimento acadêmico, suas oportunidades de escrutínio e validação, a dinâmica de amadurecimento das idéias científicas e, conseqüentemente, pode tornar o desenvolvimento da Ciência mais veloz e eficiente. No entanto, o meio digital tem sido utilizado tanto para criar um ambiente de livre circulação de idéias quanto para controlá-las. Por um lado, código computacional tem sido implementado para garantir o acesso apenas aos que pagam pelos altos preços das revistas científicas. Por outro lado, a publicação de revistas on-line de acesso aberto e outras formas alternativas de disseminação de conteúdo científico têm se proliferado. Ainda, o decrescente orçamento das bibliotecas, o crescente preço das assinaturas de revistas científicas e as crescentes restrições aplicadas pelas leis de propriedade intelectual têm minado a natureza livre das idéias científicas e colocado a Comunicação Científica numa crise. Estamos no meio de uma transição de paradigmas quanto à publicação dos resultados de pesquisa científica, onde aspectos legais, tecnológicos e sócio-econômicos estão em renegociação. À luz das oportunidades da tecnologia digital e da publicação em acesso aberto, as formas de disseminação dos resultados da pesquisa científica presentemente estabelecidas tem sido repensadas. Inserimos essa análise num contexto maior, o paradigma da Comunicação Científica. Isso nos auxilia a fazer um estudo mais abrangente das complexas questões envolvendo nosso tema, analisando os aspectos tecnológicos, legais e sócio-econômicos de uma possível transição para o modelo de publicação de acesso aberto. Tão grandes são as oportunidades desse novo modelo que ele tem agregado em torno de si iniciativas sócio-acadêmicas conhecidas por Movimento de Acesso Aberto à literatura científica. Atualmente, há muitos testes e modelos de publicação dessa literatura. Em especial, nesse trabalho focamos o modelo de acesso aberto aos resultados científicos, suas vantagens, as dificuldades para seu estabelecimento e como ele tem se desenvolvido. Analisamos a viabilidade de criação de um ecossistema de bibliotecas digitais de acesso aberto, especializadas em cada ramo da Ciência. Nossos modelos de partida baseiam-se em alguns aspectos de serviços como arXiv, CiteSeer e Google Scholar. Entre as muitas conclusões desse estudo, constatamos que bibliotecas desse tipo aumentam sobremaneira a dinâmica de circulação, geração, transformação e renovação do conhecimento científico. Assim, o processo de produção de recursos no commons científico pode se tornar muito mais eficiente.<br>Recent studies done by Benkler, Lessig, Boyle, Hess and Ostrom look at the concept of commons again however, this time in relation to information in general more specifically to scientific information. In this study, we focused on the cooperative character of scientific research, the importance of transparency and neutrality to access the scientific commons. The concept of commons is highly useful to focus on every scientific article that has already been published in print or digitally. This allows studies through several multidisciplines and finally emphasizes the dynamic of scientific communities around the world. In each commons of information, the higher the distribution of knowledge, the more dynamic and efficient the process of the evolution of this information. Technology of the press has been key in the divulging of information and its expansion marked a revolution in knowledge and culture in our civilization. Digital technology has shown more efficiency. Its implementation into bits is closer to the non-rival nature of the ideas than other technologies used to preserve it and used to distribute information. In our work, we realized that the science of commons should be enriched through cooperative practices and open access to scientific results. We also realized that digital technology in scientific commons improves distribution of scholarly knowledge and the dynamic evolution of scientific ideas so the science development should be even more efficient and faster. The digital revolution has been used to create a free environment of circulation of ideas and it has also been used to control certain things. On one side, computational code has been implemented to allow access just for people who pay for the service. On the other hand, online journals publishing and other alternative forms of disseminating scientific knowledge have been proliferated. The decreasing budget of libraries, the increasing cost of journal subscriptions and the increasing restrictions applied by intellectual property has enclosed the free nature of scientific ideas and it has put Scholarly Communication into a crisis. We are in the middle of a transitional phase, where legal, technological, social and economic aspects of scientific publishing have being renegotiated. We inserted our analyses in a larger context, the Scholarly Communication paradigm. This supports a larger study about the complex questions of our subject, analyzing the technological, legal, social and economic aspects of a possible transition to the open access publishing model. This new publishing model is so interesting that some initiatives have started social movements pertaining to it. Nowadays, there are many tests and publishing models especially in this line of work. We focused on the open access model in scientific results, its advantages, the difficulties of its establishment and how it has been developed. Finally, we propose that the creation of an open access digital libraries ecosystem specialized in every scientific field. Our staring models are services such as: arXiv, CiteSeer and Google Scholar. Among our conclusions, we have realized that following this models stated above, digital libraries can enhance the dynamic of circulation, generation, transformation and renovation of the scientific knowledge.

Full textAbstract:
This volume investigates the uptake of ‘open learning’ in South African Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges and higher education institutions. Comprised of 16 studies focused on activities at a range of colleges and universities across the country, these chapters aim to promote a better understanding of open learning practices across the Post-School Education and Training (PSET) sector, including issues such as: recognition of prior learning, access for students with disabilities, work integrated learning, professional development, novel student funding mechanisms, leadership for open educational practices, institutional culture, student support, blended and online learning, flexible learning, online assessment, open educational resource development models and funding, and micro-credentials. This collection of peer-reviewed chapters contributes to understanding the ways in which South African PSET institutions and educators are interpreting ‘open learning’ as a means of advancing social justice. It includes a historical and contemporary understanding of the economic, cultural and political obstacles facing PSET, drawing on Nancy Fraser’s theory of social justice as ‘participatory parity’ to better understand the ways in which ‘open learning’ may address systemic social injustices in order to allow South African students and educators to thrive. This volume emerges from research conducted by the Cases on Open Learning (COOL) project, an initiative by the Department of Higher Education and Training in partnership with the Centre for Innovation in Learning and Teaching (CILT) at the University of Cape Town (UCT) in South Africa.

Demystifying Scholarly Metrics gives librarians and faculty the confidence to navigate the maze of scholarly metrics, identify quality journals in which to publish, and measure the impact of scholarly works.re the impact of scholarly works. Both librarians and professors can be overwhelmed by the bewildering number of scholarly metrics. This user-friendly book demystifies them, helping librarians become familiar with scholarly metrics and giving them the confidence to assist faculty at their institutions. It also equips faculty authors with the knowledge to evaluate journals and use metrics to track their scholarly impact. Several controversies exist in the scholarly metrics landscape, including a disagreement between the proponents of altmetrics and traditional bibliometrics. Even more contentious debates are breaking out over predatory journals and open access publishing. Authors Mark Vinyard and Jaimie Beth Colvin, who successfully launched a faculty publishing initiative, explain which aspects of metrics are truly essential to grasp, and they place these numbers in context. They help readers identify the metrics that are the best fit for their scholarship and give librarians and professors the tools to make smart decisions in this changing scholarly metrics landscape.

Zimmerman, Joseph F. The New England Town Meeting. Praeger, 1999. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798400690891.
Full textAbstract:
In this groundbreaking study, Zimmerman explores the town meeting form of government in all New England states. This comprehensive work relies heavily upon surveys of town officers and citizens, interviews, and mastery of the scattered writing on the subject. Zimmerman finds that the stereotypes of the New England open town meeting advanced by its critics are a serious distortion of reality. He shows that voter superintendence of town affairs has proven to be effective, and there is no empirical evidence that thousands of small towns and cities with elected councils are governed better. Whereas the relatively small voter attendance suggests that interest groups can control town meetings, their influence has been offset effectively by the development of town advisory committees, particularly the finance committee and the planning board, which are effective counterbalances to pressure groups. Zimmerman provides a new conception of town meeting democracy, positing that the meeting is a de facto representative legislative body with two safety valves—open access to all voters and the initiative to add articles to the warrant, and the calling of special meetings to reconsider decisions made at the preceding town meeting. And, as Zimmerman points out, a third safety valve—the protest referendum—can be adopted by a town meeting.

Taking Stock of Regional Democratic Trends in Latin America and the Caribbean Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic. International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA), 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.31752/idea.2020.63.
Full textAbstract:
This GSoD In Focus Special Brief provides an overview of the state of democracy of Latin America and the Caribbean at the end of 2019, prior to the outbreak of the pandemic, and assesses some of the preliminary impacts that the pandemic has had on democracy in the region in 2020. Key findings include: • Democratically, the region was ailing prior to the pandemic, with some countries suffering from democratic erosion or backsliding, others from democratic fragility and weakness. Overall, trust in democracy had been in steady decline in the decade preceding the pandemic. Citizen discontent has culminated in a protest wave hitting several countries in the region at the end of 2019. • The COVID-19 pandemic has hit a Latin American and Caribbean region plagued by unresolved structural problems of high crime and violence, political fragmentation and polarization, high poverty and inequality, corruption, and weak states. • Long-overdue political and socio-economic reforms have compounded the health and economic crises caused by the pandemic. This, coupled with heavy-handed approaches to curb the virus, risk further entrenching or exacerbating the concerning democratic trends observed in the region prior to the COVID-19 outbreak. • The challenges to democracy Latin America and the Caribbean during the pandemic include: the postponement of elections; excessive use of police force to enforce restrictions implemented to curb the pandemic; use of the military to carry out civil tasks; persistent crime and violence; new dangers for the right to privacy; increases in gender inequality and domestic violence; new risks posed to vulnerable groups; limited access to justice; restrictions on freedom of expression; executive overreach; reduced parliamentary oversight; political polarization and clashes between democratic institutions; new openings for corruption; and a discontented socially mobilized citizenry that rejects traditional forms of political representation. • Despite the challenges, the crisis ultimately provides a historic opportunity to redefine the terms of social contracts across the region, and for governments to think innovatively about how to open up spaces for dialogue and civic participation in order to build more inclusive, sustainable and interconnected societies, as well as more accountable, transparent and efficient democratic systems of government. The review of the state of democracy during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 uses qualitative analysis and data of events and trends in the region collected through International IDEA’s Global Monitor of COVID-19’s Impact on Democracy and Human Rights, an initiative co-funded by the European Union.

AbstractAs leaders of tomorrow, we, the African YouthMappers, are taking the initiative of contributing toward the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals that are a blueprint for a better and more sustainable future for all. Our contributions center on the generation of open geospatial data, which is critical when making decisions on achieving desired development across all seventeen goals. In response to the African continent’s alleged data inadequacies, YouthMappers, as vital members of the OpenStreetMap community, have made significant contributions to open geospatial data in Africa. This chapter highlights the contribution of YouthMappers to not just build maps – which especially supports reduced inequalities around data access in Africa (SDG 10) – but also to build mappers – by advancing the geospatial capacity of young people across the continent, addressing (SDG 8) decent work and economic growth.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe Curtin Open Knowledge Initiative (COKI) is an innovative research project that collects and analyses publicly available research output data to assist and encourage researchers, academics, administrators and executives to understand the actual and potential reach of openness in research, and to assess their progress on the path towards open knowledge institutions. By taking a broad global approach and using multiple data sources, the project diverges from existing approaches, methods and bibliometric measures in the scholarly research environment. It combines analysis of research output, citations, publication sources and publishers, funders, social media events, open and not open access to provide overviews of research output and performance at institutional, funder, consortial and country levels. The project collects and analyses personnel diversity data such as gender, focusing on widening the reach of data analysis to emphasise the importance and value of diversity in research and knowledge production. Interactive visual tools present research output and performance to encourage understanding and dialogue among researchers and management. The path towards becoming open knowledge institutions involves a process of cultural change, moving beyond dominant publishing and evaluation practices. This paper discusses how through divergence, diversity and dialogue the COKI project can contribute to this change, with examples of applications in understanding and embracing openness.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractScience in Transition, which started in 2013, is a small-scale Dutch initiative that presented a systems approach, comprised of analyses and suggested actions, based on experience in academia. It was built on writings by early science watchers and most recent theoretical developments in philosophy, history and sociology of science and STS on the practice and politics of science. This chapter will include my personal experiences as one of the four Dutch founders of Science in Transition. I will discuss the message and the various forms of reception over the past 6 years by the different actors in the field, including administrators in university, academic societies and Ministries of Higher Education, Economic Affairs and Public Health but also from leadership in the private sector. I will report on my personal experience of how these myths and ideologies play out in the daily practice of 40 years of biomedical research in policy and decision making in lab meetings, at departments, at grant review committees of funders and in the Board rooms and the rooms of Deans, Vice Chancellors and Rectors.It has in the previous chapters become clear that the ideology and ideals that we are brought up with are not valid, are not practiced despite that even in 2020 they are still somehow ‘believed’ by most scientists and even by many science watchers, journalists and used in political correct rhetoric and policy making by science’s leadership. In that way these ideologies and beliefs mostly implicitly but sometimes even explicitly determine debates regarding the internal policy of science and science policy in the public arena. These include all time classic themes like the uniqueness of science compared to any other societal activity; ethical superiority of science and scientists based on Mertonian norms; the vocational disinterested search for truth, autonomy; values and moral (political) neutrality, dominance of internal epistemic values and unpredictability regards impact. These ideas have influenced debates about the ideal and hegemony of natural science, the hierarchy of basic over applied science; theoretical over technological research and at a higher level in academic institutions and at the funders the widely held supremacy of STEM over SSH. This has directly determined the attitudes of scientists in the interaction with peers within the field, but also shaped the politics of science within science but also with policy makers and stakeholders from the public and private sector and with interactions with popular media.Science it was concluded was suboptimal because of growing problems with the quality and reproducibility of its published products due to failing quality control at several levels. Because of too little interactions with society during the phases of agenda setting and the actual process of knowledge production, its societal impact was limited which also relates to the lack of inclusiveness, multidisciplinarity and diversity in academia. Production of robust and significant results aiming at real world problems are mainly secondary to academic output relevant for an internally driven incentive and reward system steering for academic career advancement at the individual level. Similarly, at the higher organizational and national level this reward system is skewed to types of output and impact focused on positions on international ranking lists. This incentive and reward system, with flawed use of metrics, drives a hyper-competitive social system in academia which results in a widely felt lack of alignment and little shared value in the academic community. Empirical data, most of it from within science and academia, showing these problems in different academic disciplines, countries and continents are published on virtually a weekly basis since 2014. These critiques focus on the practices of scholarly publishing including Open Access and open data, the adverse effects of the incentive and reward system, in particular its flawed use of metrics. Images, ideologies and politics of science were exposed that insulate academia and science from society and its stakeholders, which distort the research agenda and subsequentially its societal and economic impact.

AbstractSENSEI is an environmental monitoring initiative run by Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT University) and the municipality of Lappeenranta in south-east Finland. The aim was to collaboratively innovate and co-design, develop and deploy civic technologies with local civics to monitor positive and negative issues. These are planned to improve local’s participation to social governance issues in hand. These issues can be e.g. waste related matters like illegal dumping of waste, small vandalism into city properties, alien plant species, but on the other hand nice places to visits too. This publication presents initiatives data literacy facet overview, which is aimed at creating equitable access to information from open data, which in turn is hoped for to increase participants motivation and entrepreneurship like attitude to work with the municipals and the system. This is done by curating environmental datasets to allow participatory sensemaking via exploration, games and reflection, allowing citizens to combine their collective knowledge about the town with the often-complex data. The ultimate aim of this data literacy process is to enhance collective civic actions for the good of the environment, to reduce the resource burden in the municipality level and help citizens to be part of sustainability and environmental monitoring innovation activities. For further research, we suggest follow up studies to consider on similar activities e.g. in specific age groups and to do comparisons on working with different stage holders to pin point most appropriate methods for any specific focus group towards collaborative innovation and co-design of civic technologies deployment.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this chapter is to explore current trends of the open access (OA) movement in the libraries of Bangladesh in the light of librarians' perceptions. A structured questionnaire was designed to collect data from 20 respondent libraries selected purposively. The result of the study shows that the mean value of the concept of open access as “literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions” is jointly highest (x̅=4.25) with the definition given by Budapest Open Access Initiative, which indicates “agree” in the Likert scale. Fifty percent of the respondent librarians remarked that proper depositing guidelines are necessary for submitting researchers' works into the institutional repositories (x̅=4.10, σ=1.12). More than half of the respondents (55%) strongly agreed that libraries should implement OA initiative due to “support for development” (x̅=4.50, σ=0.61) as the libraries don't have sufficient funds (x̅=4.50, σ=0.61).

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the present study is to report the results of a meta-synthesis of the empirical literature on scholars' attitudes towards Open Access (OA) journals. A total of 16 articles published in scholarly journals since 2002 (when the Budapest Open Access Initiative was released) were included in the study and five major themes emerged from their examination and analysis. The literature indicates that attitudes and perceptions of OA are varied across countries and across disciplines. Free access, which is perceived to facilitate wider dissemination of research outputs, is a strong incentive for publishing in OA. However, quality and reputation are the most important factors in selecting a journal and take priority over the availability of free access. Although OA is perceived to have many advantages over the traditional publication model, it raises some concerns too, especially in regard to the author-pays model, the quality of peer-review and the impact of the journals.

More than a decade after the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) declaration, Open Access has become a widespread phenomenon and a dominant topic in the academic publishing world. Several large-scale developments can be currently observed including (trans-)national efforts towards &lsquo;full Open Access&rsquo; in a given year or &lsquo;offsetting&rsquo; models when renewing library subscriptions. In this context, the Netherlands are believed to play a pioneering role as novel agreements with major academic publishers have been recently reached and Open Access was set prominently among the priorities of the Dutch Presidency of the Council of the European Union in the first semester of 2016. However, the negotiations between Dutch universities and Elsevier could be rather described as an ongoing battle that only recently has taken &lsquo;a constructive turn&rsquo;. As a rich case for investigation, the controversy will be examined using Adele E. Clarke's (2005) method of situational analysis and subsequently visualized with three kinds of maps.

When Michael Hart initiated his ambitious Gutenberg project of computer re-writing essential literature books, in 1971, sure it was very difficult to imagine our today dependency of digital devices and social media. To type on the those time typewriter devices the basic scholarly novels it was a difficult option for a 24 years man, proven a visionary thinking to the people future access. It was ten years before the lunching the IBM PC's, and Internet Protocols, in a time of the firsts text editors... Twenty years before the first World Wide Web real demo ... But Michael Hart succeeded to build a community of volunteers, delivering free the project results, digital books (through floppies, diskettes, tapes, and later on CD-ROM, or DVDs. Gutenberg project arrived as a model for many libraries to save their depots and manuscripts. Networking and Internet services (email and FTP) already gave new solutions for distribution and visibility of Gutenberg project, for access to digital books. For scientists it was another need, the better access to the scientific publications, an easier way to publish their results. Consequently, quite in the same time when CERN accepted to finance the Tim Berners Lee proposal, the firsts signs of a movement for open access publications are registered. As a nice example, PACS Review (Public Access Computer Science Review), at the Houston University, prepared and announced in 1989, with its first 3 numbers in 1990. A journal delivered as ASCII file, by email, later through a Gopher server, and finally-from 1995 on-line, through the Houston University Web server (HTML, or ASCII format). PACS Review publication stops in 2000. Since 1995 a really peer revue, quality, open journal was launched by Cristian Calude, Herman Maurer, Arto Salomaa at Graz University, called JUCS - ,,Journal of Universal Computer Science". A journal with very regular publication till now. There are, of course, a lot of other interesting examples of electronic (digital) open access journals, in different fields. A new step in this evolution was done through the development of the open source tools for the management of such digital journals into the Web server infrastructure. It was done by the initiative and efforts of John Willinsky, through his PKP - Public Knowledge Project - a multi-university initiative developing free open source software and conducting research to improve the quality and reach of scholarly publishing. PKP was founded in 1998 at the Education Faculty of UBC, with the aim to improve the research quality. Another important steps necessary to count of are the 2002 Budapest Open Access Initiative, and the MIT university decision to publish their course materials, generating the corresponding consortium. As an answer to Budapest Open Access Initiative, it is the developing of an on-line catalog of Open Access Journals - DOAJ (build and maintained by Lars Bjornshauge from 2003 until 2013 at the Lund University, recently moved at Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association - OASPA. Into this catalog there are included now about 10.000 Open Access Journals. Of course that in such a paper it isn't possible to escape the competition, more a less a battle between Online Open-Access journals and traditional ones. As well to discus the issue of fake publishers or publishers not living up to reasonable standards both in terms of content and of business behavior. Does all this Open Access movement change a bit the perspectives concerning the transformation of the teachers role in the "Web 2.0 Era" ?

In VI International Conference on European Dimensions of Sustainablе Development. National University of Food Technologies, 2024. https://doi.org/10.24263/edsd-2024-6-42.
Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the challenges and opportunities related to intellectual property (IP) rights in the context of open access in Ukrainian universities. The importance of open access to scientific research lies in promoting sustainable development by fostering innovation and disseminating knowledge. This aligns with the European Union's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). The paper analyzes how Ukrainian universities can support the development of open access while maintaining the protection of intellectual property and taking into account international legal standards and best practices. The advancement of open access initiatives, exemplified by the Budapest and Berlin Declarations, underscores the global commitment to freely disseminating scientific research. Ukrainian universities actively embrace these principles, showcasing their research through conferences and establishing technoparks to foster innovation. Collaboration with industry clusters, like the Kyiv and Kharkiv IT Clusters, enhances the innovation ecosystem. Leading Ukrainian universities, such as Taras Shevchenko National University and Lviv Polytechnic National University, contribute significantly to scientific progress. However, challenges persist, notably in patent maintenance due to issues like non-payment of fees. Despite hurdles, these initiatives bolster the confidence of Ukrainian researchers and improve access to scientific information. By leveraging open access platforms and fostering innovation ecosystems, Ukrainian universities propel the nation's scientific and technical prowess, enhancing global competitiveness. In conclusion, the initiatives undertaken by Ukrainian universities to embrace open access principles and foster innovation demonstrate their commitment to advancing scientific research and contributing to global knowledge exchange. Despite challenges, such as patent maintenance issues, these universities play a pivotal role in enhancing Ukraine's scientific and technical capabilities.

Full textAbstract:
In 1997, the Minister of Education in Zambia then, Dr. S. Siyamujaye announced that schoolgirls who become pregnant would no longer be expelled. The girls who had been expelled in that year were allowed to return to school. The directive showed serious commitment towards the education of girls. Hence, the Re-Entry Policy mandates schools to allow girls who fall pregnant or left school due to early marriages back into school system (MOE,1997). // Further, in the pursuit to educate girls, the Government of the Republic of Zambia is working with cooperating partners to eradicate the vices and borrowed funds from World Bank in 2016 to support the ‘Girls' Education and Women's Empowerment and Livelihood. Through ‘Keeping Girls in School (KGS) initiative’ the government has been providing bursaries to girls whose parents/guardians were identified to be vulnerable and who were beneficiaries of the Social Cash Transfer Programme. // The project objective is to support the Government of Zambia to increase access to livelihood support for women and access to secondary education for underprivileged adolescent girls in extremely poor households in selected districts, and Petauke is among the benefiting districts in Zambia. // Despite all these efforts to educate the girl-child, mitigate teenage pregnancies and child marriages, the ministry has continued receiving reports of dropouts due to covid-19, high poverty levels, tradition and culture, teenage pregnancies and early marriages. // The findings revealed that the KGS initiative has positively impacted on girls’ education as Memory Lungu, a learner at Petauke Boarding Secondary School states, “The KGS initiative is good. This is because some of us, our parents cannot manage to pay for us in school. The Government is helping us through KGS and we are grateful” (MOGE Magazine 2021). // The investigation involved 32 out of 53 benefiting schools; sampled and interviewed 100 out of 2,767 beneficiaries. The researcher used mixed research methods. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected using the automated google form, one-on-one phone call interviews and also analysed some data using Microsoft excel. // Therefore, in order to keep pregnant dropouts and out-of-school girls in the education process, government should consider investing in open schooling as it provides access to distance and online methods which can support self-directed learning of Girls anytime and anywhere while on maternity leave or out-of-school.

Right now the open education is reality, distributing high quality free for use knowledge over the world. Open Educational Resources (OERs) are shared in a wide variety of forms and sizes - from a learning instruction to open courses and virtual laboratories. An initiative, starting in 2001 with an announcement of Massachusetts Institute of Technology to ensure free access to many courses, nowadays it gains big popularity, involving many institutions and initiatives. At this time, it is talking about OER communities, OER platforms and OER digital repositories. Students, educators and researchers benefit from OERs reusing, remixing, revising or redistributing this treasure. Emerging the question related to the level of OERs free usage, adaptation and distribution without the user to come under the strikes of copyright law or "How open are OERs?" In this paper, the creative commons licenses are discussed to understand the rights from the side of copyright owners and from the other side of OERs users. For this purpose, the licenses that can be used for protection of copyright owners: Attribution (BY), Attribution-Non-commercial (BY-NC), Attribution-Share alike (BY-SA), Attribution-Non-commercial-Share alike (BY-NC-SA), Attribution-No derivatives (BY-ND), Attribution-Non-commercial-No derivatives (BY-NC-ND) are described. Then, the case studies from educational practices are explored and analyzed to understand how the OERs are copyrighted. And finally, the consequences of the intellectual property law violations are examined and summarized. The paper will be useful for educational professionals who have already started OERs initiatives or who have intention to do that. Also, it can help students when they use or share digital resources.

Full textAbstract:
Open Science plays an important role in modernising universities by providing a range of research and educational opportunities. This initiative promotes transparent and non-discriminatory access to research results, thereby strengthening collaboration and innovation in academia. Open Science has a dual role in universities. Internally, Open Science advocates institutional reforms, supporting the adoption of policies and practices that promote open access to research results, research data, scientific and educational publications. This fosters collaboration among members of the academic community. Externally, Open Science can increase the impact and visibility of university research. By providing open access to research results, universities can promote transparency and international collaboration in science, while also stimulating knowledge exchange between different stakeholders. To embed Open Science at an institutional level, higher education institutions must adopt policies and strategies that promote and facilitate Open Science practices. These policies and strategies should include open access to publicly funded research results, adoption of FAIR principles for research data, promotion and development of open educational resources, open evaluation, development of open, shared and interoperable IT infrastructures and tools, etc.

Full textAbstract:
Open data and open data ecosystems (ODEs) are important for stakeholders from science, businesses, and the broader society. However, concerns about data sharing and data handling are significant adoption barriers of ODEs that reduce stakeholder participation and thus the success of the initiative. Data governance (DG) is proposed as solution, but requirements of the three stakeholder groups combined are not clear and especially how they can be integrated in one DG concept. This paper develops a framework, supporting elicitation of DG requirements in ODEs. The framework builds on a series of stakeholder workshops and literature research resulting in DG requirements and DG mechanisms. The resulting framework includes five main dimensions: (1) data usability, (2) ethical and legal compliance, (3) data lineage, (4) data access and specified data use, and (5) organizational design.

Full textAbstract:
The Global Research Initiative on Open Science (GRIOS) represents a pioneering effort to systematically evaluate, promote, and implement Open Science practices worldwide. GRIOS will address the critical gaps in our understanding and application of Open Science. This initiative is a direct response to the growing recognition of Open Science's potential to democratise access to research findings, enhance the quality of scientific inquiry, and foster a more inclusive and collaborative research environment. GRIOS will catalyse the global adoption of Open Science by: - Conducting in-depth reviews of existing Open Science research to synthesise current knowledge and identify best practices and challenges. GRIOS will synergise with existing Open Science initiatives and research on open science to create a unique global understanding based on all the available knowledge. - Developing evidence-based recommendations to guide the implementation of Open Science practices and policies. - Creating a comprehensive research agenda to address knowledge gaps and promote further investigation into Open Science. - Establishing a global network of researchers and organisations committed to advancing Open Science, facilitating knowledge exchange, and fostering collaboration. A cornerstone of the GRIOS initiative is its commitment to inclusivity and diversity, ensuring that the full spectrum of the academic ecosystem is represented in its efforts, particularly emphasising the inclusion of knowledge and experience from the Global South and young academics. To achieve this, GRIOS governance reflects a broad range of perspectives and expertise to ensure that the policies, practices, and research agendas it develops are informed by a wide array of experiences and needs. This approach not only enriches the initiative's outputs with diverse insights but also fosters a more equitable and inclusive Open Science landscape. GRIOS represents a critical step forward in realising the full potential of Open Science. By systematically addressing the challenges and opportunities associated with Open Science,the initiative will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of research and its contribution to society. Stakeholders across the research ecosystem are invited to join this collaborative effort to advance Open Science and ensure that it serves the global public good. We urge research institutions, funders, policymakers, and practitioners to support and participate in the GRIOS initiative. Together, we can unlock the transformative power of Open Science and create a more open, inclusive, and impactful research landscape.

Full textAbstract:
As part of ARL’s Research Library Impact Framework initiative, a team at the University of California (UC) Berkeley Library studied the relationship between faculty’s attitudes toward open access (OA) and their OA publishing practices, including the roles of funding availability and discipline. The project team compared UC Berkeley faculty’s answers to questions related to OA from the 2018 Ithaka S+R Faculty Survey with the faculty’s scholarly output in the Scopus database. The study focused on gold OA articles, which usually require authors to pay article processing charges (APCs) and which accounted for 18% of the publications in the sample. Overall, the UC Berkeley study found a positive correlation between publishing gold OA and the faculty’s support for OA (no cost to read). In contrast, the correlation between publishing gold OA and the faculty’s concern about publishing cost was weak. Publishing costs concerned faculty in all subject areas, whether or not their articles reported research funding. Thus, UC Berkeley Library’s efforts to pursue transformative publishing agreements and prioritize funding for a program subsidizing publishing fees seem like effective strategies to increase OA.

Full textAbstract:
This document is a comprehensive study of open finance, its context, and its value for the financial system in Latin America and the Caribbean. It also delves into the intricacies of the open finance ecosystem and analyzes its risks and opportunities. The document describes the status of the development of open finance in the region and discusses the challenges faced in implementing the ecosystem there. Finally, this text guides financial regulators and supervisors, considering international best practices and regional distinctions. This document examines how the regulatory framework can contribute to handing power over data to financial consumers, allowing them to obtain better conditions for accessing and using financial products with security and efficiency. These conditions translate into facilitating access to the financial market for financially excluded consumers, reducing the prices for financial services among those already served, and facilitating portability or switching between providers. A study of the region highlights the benefits of open finance, such as increased competition, greater financial inclusion, and reduced entry barriers for consumers, but also acknowledges the risks, including cybersecurity and consumer-protection risks. The document emphasizes the need for robust data-protection regulations, consumer safeguards, and technological infrastructure to establish a sustainable and secure open finance ecosystem. The objective is to understand open finance, its role in the modern financial landscape, and its potential benefits and challenges. This document also aims to establish principles for a specific regulatory framework that facilitates the development of open finance in the region. This research is a collaborative effort between the Financial Data and Technology Association and the Inter-American Development Bank through its FintechLAC initiative.

Full textAbstract:
In 2020, the University of Dundee initiated the development of an Open Research strategy. As part of this initiative, in February 2021 the University’s Library and Learning Centre together with Open Research Champions from the Schools of Health Sciences and Dentistry, formed an Open Research Working group. To build on the University’s open research policy and infrastructure, the purpose of the group was to facilitate ongoing research and development of best practice approaches for our interdisciplinary environment to make outputs, data and other products of our research publicly available, building on University of Dundee’s Open Research policy and infrastructure. Through informal consultations with academic staff and students, the Open Research Working Group found that: → access and reach of research findings can be amplified through effective knowledge mobilisation, and stakeholder and patient and public involvement; and → there was a need for guidance and resources on how-to implement knowledge mobilisation activities with and for stakeholders throughout the entire research process – from proposal development to project completion. In June 2021, the Open Research working group, in partnership with Simon Fraser University’s Knowledge Mobilization Hub began the development of an Integrated Knowledge Translation (IKT) Toolkit, with funding support from the University of Dundee’s Doctoral Academy and Organisational Professional Development. IKT is an approach to knowledge translation that emphasises working in an engaged and collaborative partnership with stakeholders throughout the research cycle in order to have positive impact. The aim was to co-produce evidence-informed, best practice learning materials on how-to: → maintain ongoing relationships between researchers, community stakeholders and decision-makers in research development and implementation; and → facilitate an integrated, participatory way of knowledge production whereby researchers, practitioners and other knowledge users can collaborate to co-generate new and accessible knowledge that can be utilised in contexts ranging from supporting community development to policy guidance for practice. The IKT Toolkit was informed by a focused evidence review and synthesis of published peer-reviewed and grey literature and consists of 8 knowledge briefs and a slide deck co-produced for use in any discipline or sector. Each knowledge brief provides practical guidance and resources to support an IKT process in each of eight key research stages: (i) Partnership Building; (ii) Generating Priorities and Ideas; (iii) Proposal development; (iv) Study Design; (v) Data Collection; (vi) Data Analysis; (vii) Reporting and (viii) Dissemination.
