Notas do Editor
- Michael Mabeabd Francis Gurry – OA on the move
- Access to publicly funded research – read in the UN Declaration rights to scientific knoweldge,
- Open innovation needs to provide a batter balance – a counter to maximalist, industry-driven approach. Legislative confusion - IPR Act in SA Use of ‘outputs’ as measures of research effectiveness – patents and journal articles, with a presumption that the ISI is the standard
- 2011 – November Endorsed by member nationsThere will probably be regional workshops The IDS online dialogue
- OA for development impact, ‘transformational research
- The geopolitics of the impact factor and the marginalisation of developing country research Increasingly, I see this as the real problem, the single factor that most needs dealing with, largely because it creates an impenetrable barrier between strategy and reward systems The Lancet and the difficulty of including African authors – yet 650,000 people in Africa die of malaria every year
- This has been the default position and has been heavily promoted for the developing world in the form of: Institutional repositories (the most popular solution offered to African universities). Promoted as a way of making articles in ISI journals sharable and increasing their impact. Also as a way of providing exposure for articles in developing country journals in the rest of the world – Bioline international – gets 5 million full text downloads across the system – research exposed South-South and South-North – increases exposure for issues that do not get into the major Northern journals Subject repositoriesRegional or world archivesThis does increase reach and impact, Problems – capacity for institutional repositories – too many have very little in them, or have effectively collapsed as a result of insitutionalcapcity to maintain them.
- The fact that the Finch report opted for publication in open access journals has created a furore particularly among the supporters of the green route as a way of changing the subscription journal system. Do the journals actually see green route article archives as a threat to their business. In many cases, perhaps not, as what the journal publishes is the article of record. CfArXiv, where journal articles are published as a matter of record and to earn prestige – not necessarily for reading
- Is the final version, with edited text, complete diagrams, etc. If it is to be cited or referred to, this is the version that needs to be used. For developing countries offers participation rather than only accessI would argue that the commercial journals are not really concerned about green route deposits, as it is the version of record that needs to be subscribed to and referenced.
- The EC links this to regional research infrastructure development that in turn supports communication – a lesson for SADC? The problem in the South – research funds are limited, there is a very high level of dependency on donor funding, which is short term, Where does the money come from? Will a more open system that allows government to get a comprehensive view of what is being achieved lead to more investment?
