This Report concerns the implementation of a process today supported by leading actors from the particle physics community, and worked through in detail by members of an international Working Party. The initiative offers an opportunity for the cost-effective dissemination of high-quality research articles in particle physics, enabling use of the ne...
The possibility of open access to journal literature has generated considerable discussion in the academic, publishing and library communities. The discussion has largely centred not on the desirability of open access in principle but upon its practicability and its effect upon the traditional journal publication system. This article will examine p...
JISC is the Joint Information Systems Committee of the four Higher Education Funding Councils in the UK and also has a responsibility for networked services to the Further Education Colleges. JISC Strategy includes “improving the effectiveness of scholarly communication”. This involves implementing cost-effective improvements in access to academic...
The purchase by library consortia of all journals published by one publisher - the so-called Big Deal - is bad for small publishers and for large libraries even if - in the short-term - good for large publishers and for small libraries. The publishing and library communities need to find alternative purchasing models which provide better deals for...
World-wide calls for improvements in access to journal literature are being answered by a plethora of projects and services. Consortial purchasing, national licences and "big deals" dominate changes in collection development. Moves to set up affordable easy-to-use electronic document delivery services offer an alternative model based on single-arti...
Maintenant que les barrieres geographiques limitant les flux d'information sont en train de disparaitre, comment les bibliothecaires peuvent-ils utiliser ce nouvel internationalisme pour ameliorer le service aux utilisateurs de l'information ? Les structures collaboratives mises en place au temps des barrieres geographiques doivent-elles etre modif...
Regular discussion among librarians has led to a realization of the common problems they face in dealing with price increases and one common solution in the formation of consortia to negotiate for the purchase of books and journals. In the United Kingdom, the traditional library organizations-the Standing Conference of National and University Libra...
Most UK university theses are only available in paper format but could be more accessible if electronic submission were commonplace. The University Theses Online Group has been working to secure academic support for electronic submission, conducting a survey of authors’ and supervisors’ attitudes and organising a seminar. Potential problems such as...
The presentation will describe the progress towards open access to UK research papers over the past two years, covering subject and instituional repository growth and "gold" open access developments. The JISC has funded many projects to support universities in repository development, and some universities have made new policy commitments in support...

... The second approach to library consortia is the historical perspective on development (Woodsworth 1991, Kopp 1998, Alexander 2000. Most of the articles apply anecdotal, descriptive, or case studies approach, with only one article offering a comparative analysis of library consortia (Potter 1997, Adler 1999, Costello 1999, Friend 1999, Cutright 2000, Dai, Chen, and Zhang 2000, Barrionuevo 2000, Krzyzanowski and Taruhn 2000, Giordano 2000. However, various dimensions of library consortia are still unexplored. ...

News media (text or audio in formats shared electronically and on media websites) Web pages (blogs, on-line articles, and newsletters) Audio and video pieces for the Web (YouTube, Podcasts, and Vimeo) Social media and Images (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and SlideShare) This transition away from print publications is likely to continue, and must continue according to an assessment team studying Extension' readiness to adopt technology for delivering programs and reaching new audiences (Diem, Hino, Martin, & Meisenbach, 2011). "Survivors in any revolution are those who can adapt old skills to meet the needs of the new environment," states Fredrick Friend, writing on electronic publishing (Friend, 2000). Making the transition to multiple formats might seem like additional work. ...
... Okoro (2003) in his study inferred that this writing remains unpublished due to its important nature. Friend (1998) in his study admitted the fact that best scholarly study is mostly printed after the accomplishment of theses or dissertations invaluable publications like academic periodicals, but a majority of completed theses which are not published in any academic journal just suffer to stay in library cabinets and are seldom accessed. Isaac and Stephen (1992) indicated that access to theses is conventionally somewhat limited as to whom, when, at where, and how these are accessible for consultation. ...

ParaBianco et al (2007), é cada vez maior o número de comunidades científicas que se " reúne " em torno desta filosofia para a divulgação de suas pesquisas, além das instituições de fomento que recomendam, como política, que os resultados das pesquisas financiadas devam ser depositados em plataformas de acesso livre.uma variante, na qual o " autor (ou sua instituição) paga ao editor para que seu artigo possa ser Enc. ...

... (Graczynski and Moses, 2004, p.3) Others are concerned that the quality of articles in OA journals would be less than in traditional journals. There would be a bias towards accepting a paper for publication rather than rejection: the Internet places virtually no limit to the number or size of articles published, and rejecting a paper would mean expending effort on refereeing it but not receiving any revenue (Friend, 2004). While Suber (2002) proudly lists eight major advantages that OA journals can do as well as traditional journals (including peer review, quality and prestige) Esposito (2004) claims that this desire to retain the features of the traditional system limits the efficacy of OA journals. ...
... Access to information is seen to be the key to personal and national economic success. Both individuals and countries find barriers in the road to access: high prices, exchange rate disparities, restrictive licences and 'take-it-or-leave-it' services (Friend, 2002). Access is the code word for the virtual library and it seems to be so simple: just clicking links to get information. ...

... The timely expansion of OA can be explained partially by the serial breakdown (Esposito, 2004), a scholarly publishing crisis derived from the shift to online scientific publishing and the concentration of journals among a few publishers who imposed libraries to subscribe to fixed collections of journals at unsustainable prices through big deals (Friend, 2003); limiting access to scientific literature. However, OA publishing is now handled by few publishers who negotiate country-wide licenses for article processing charges (APC) through deals which share many similarities with the big deal subscription access agreements (Björk, 2016). ...

... Some Open Access business models are based on the fact that these costs are effectively linked to services offered to authors, more than to readers, and are therefore to be met from the author side and not any longer from the reader side as it is presently the case. This is the business model proposed by the SCOAP 3 initiative (Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics) [2] which strives for Open Access in High-Energy Physics (HEP). This consortium would collect funds from all countries with an active HEP community in order to meet the costs of the organisation of the peer-review service. ...
... Esta coyuntura académico-social se traduce en la generación de una problemática que puede conducir a una fragmentación social llegando a ocasionar un alejamiento e incluso rechazo por parte de la ciudadanía hacia los conocimientos científicos. No obstante, si se facilitara la comprensión pública de la ciencia por parte del sector experto se generaría una corriente favorable de apoyo a la subvención de la investigación (Friend, 2005). Ade- más, por otra parte, el fomento de la comprensión de la ciencia constituye un valor utilitarista, siendo un aspecto necesario para vivir en sociedades altamente tecnificadas, facilitando de este modo el proceso de toma de de- cisiones por parte de la ciudadanía respecto a temas diversos relacionados con su modo de vida (Hernando & Carvajal, 2000). ...
