      <![CDATA[<p>From the Alliance for Taxpayer Access <a href="http://www.taxpayeraccess.org/news/news_releases/09-1110.shtml">November 10, 2009 press release</a>:</p>

<blockquote>"For America to obtain an optimal return on our investment in science, publicly funded research must be shared as broadly as possible," is the message that forty one Nobel Prize-winning scientists in medicine, physics, and chemistry gave to Congress in an open letter delivered yesterday. The letter marks the fourth time in five years that leading scientists have called on Congress to ensure free, timely access to the results of federally funded research - this time asking leaders to support the Federal Research Public Access Act of 2009 (S.1373).

<p>The Nobel Prize-winners write:</p>

<p><em>As the pursuit of science is increasingly conducted in a digital world, we need policies that ensure that the opportunities the Internet presents for new research tools and techniques to be employed can be fully exploited. The removal of access barriers and the enabling of expanded use of research findings has the potential to dramatically transform how we approach issues of vital importance to the public, such as biomedicine, climate change, and energy research. As scientists, and as taxpayers too, we support FRPAA and urge its passage.</em></blockquote></p>

      <![CDATA[<p>From the October 26 issue of the<em> Minnesota Daily</em>:</p>

<p><em><blockquote>Gabriel Weisberg , a reviews editor at an open-access journal called "Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide," said open access journals are becoming a necessity.</p>

<p>Weisberg, who is also a professor of art history at the University, said textbooks, especially art books, are becoming prohibitively expensive. It has also become more difficult for researchers to publish their material, he said.</p>

<p>Weisberg said his journal, which was launched in 2001, is now collecting about 500,000 hits per month.</blockquote></em></p>

      <![CDATA[<p>Excerpted from Jane H Smith's 22 Oct 2009 posting to the SPARC Author's Rights Forum discussion list:<br />
<em><blockquote><br />
A major upgrade to <a href="http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/">RoMEO</a> has been released today, giving:<br />
*    Extra Category for the self-archiving of the Publisher's Version/ PDF<br />
*    Expanded Journal Coverage<br />
*    Extra Search Options for Journal Abbreviations and Electronic ISSNs<br />
*    New Tabular Browse View for Publishers<br />
*    Selective Display of Publishers' Compliance with Funding Agencys' Mandates</p>

<p>What's New?<br />
As part of ongoing improvements to the RoMEO service, the Centre for Research Communications is excited to announce significant upgrades and additions to the SHERPA service RoMEO.</p>

<p>Previous versions of RoMEO have concentrated on highlighting information on the use of the pre-print and post-print.  There has been great support from the community for also providing clearly labelled information on the use of the publisher's version/PDF as a separate item. This feature has now been included and sits alongside information on self-archiving rights for Pre-prints and Authors' Post-prints. The information is available in both individual publisher entries and in the new Tabular Browse View.</p>

<p>RoMEO now provides expanded journal coverage, enabling users to draw from both the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and the Entrez journal list for the Life Sciences, along with the existing resource of the British Library's Zetoc service.</p>

<p>In addition to searching for journals by Print ISSN, users are now able to search by Electronic ISSN. They can also search for journals using title abbreviations.</p>

<p>The new Tabular Browse View enables users to display comparative charts of publishers, to quickly determine and compare what different Publishers allow them to deposit, and if the Publisher has a Paid OA Option.</p>

<p>If you or your authors receive funding from any of the 50 plus agencies listed in JULIET, you will now be able to restrict your search results to display Publishers' compliance with any of the funding agencies' policies listed in JULIET.</p>

<p>Why is RoMEO important?<br />
If an academic author wants to put their research articles on-line, they are faced with an increasingly complex situation. Evidence shows that citations to articles made openly accessible in this way are taken up and cited more often than research that is simply published in journals. Also some Funding Agencies require open access archiving for their research, to increase the use of the information generated.</p>

<p>However, some publishers prohibit authors from using their own articles in this way. Others allow it, but only under certain conditions, while others are quite happy for authors to show their work in this way.</p>

<p>Authors can be left confused: RoMEO helps to clarify the situation.</blockquote></em></p>]]>

<p><em><blockquote>The University of Michigan Press is joining with HathiTrust Digital Library to open electronic content for free online access. U-M Press plans to have 1,000 or more titles available for full viewing by the end of this year.</p>

<p>Launched in 2008, HathiTrust is a digital preservation repository and research management tool for the world's great research libraries, focused on providing scholars in the digital age with the largest collection of electronic research material this side of Google Book Search and large-scale, full-text searching and archiving tools to manage it.</p>

<p>"Presses have had online previews and PDFs of sample chapters, tables of contents, and sometimes entire books on their Web sites for years," said Phil Pochoda, director of the U-M Press. "The HathiTrust partnership is something entirely new that takes into account the actual pursuit of broad dissemination of scholarly information.</p>

<p>"Security restrictions are in place to protect the integrity of the product, but with HathiTrust, a full view of the material is there. It's searchable and it's available to anyone with access. If you want to either search for or happen to come across Michigan Press books, you can look through them onscreen anywhere, anytime."</blockquote></em></p>]]>

<em><blockquote><br />
The Presidents of 57 liberal arts colleges in the U.S., representing 22 states, have declared their support for the Federal Research Public Access Act (S. 1373) in an Open Letter released today. The letter is the first from higher education administrators to be issued in support of the 2009 bill, and further reinforcement that support for the Act exists at the highest levels of the higher education community. The presidents' letter notes, "Adoption of the Federal Research Public Access Act will democratize access to research information funded by tax dollars. It will benefit of education, research, and the general public."</p>

<p>The Federal Research Public Access Act (FRPAA), introduced in June by Senators Lieberman (I-CT) and Cornyn (R-TX), is a bi-partisan measure to ensure online public access to the published results of research funded through eleven U.S. agencies. The bill would require that journal articles stemming from publicly funded research be made available in an online repository no later than six months after publication.</blockquote></em></p>

DASH, for Digital Access to Scholarship at Harvard, is intended to serve as a university‐wide institutional repository.

<p>[...]</p>

<p>Hundreds of scholarly works have been added to DASH in recent months, mainly by Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) and Harvard Law School (HLS) professors, with the assistance of student Open Access Fellows as well as HLS and other library staff. To date, over 350 Harvard authors have contributed to the repository, including roughly a third of FAS's 718 faculty members. Of the 1,500+ items in DASH today, the vast majority are peer‐reviewed journal article manuscripts.</p>

<p>[...]</p>

<p>Contributors include Harvard President Drew Faust and University professors Robert Darnton, Peter Galison, Stanley Hoffman, Barry Mazur, Stephen Owen, Amartya Sen, Irwin Shapiro, Helen Vendler, and George Whitesides. Harvard's science and engineering departments have contributed the largest proportion of items in the repository, but humanities and social science departments including economics, anthropology and philosophy are also represented by dozens of submissions.</em></blockquote></p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>Steve Hitchcock of the Open Citation Project has updated his excellent resource, "The effect of open access and downloads ('hits') on citation impact: a bibliography of studies."</p>

<p><a href="http://opcit.eprints.org/oacitation-biblio.html">http://opcit.eprints.org/oacitation-biblio.html</a></p>

<p>Here is Hitchcock's introduction:</p>

<blockquote><em>Despite significant growth in the number of research papers available through open access, principally through author self-archiving in institutional archives, it is estimated that only c. 20% of the number of papers published annually are open access. It is up to the authors of papers to change this. Why might open access be of benefit to authors? One universally important factor for all authors is impact, typically measured by the number of times a paper is cited (some older studies have estimated monetary returns to authors from article publication via the role citations play in determining salaries). Recent studies have begun to show that open access increases impact. More studies and more substantial investigations are needed to confirm the effect, although a simple example demonstrates the effect.

<p>This chronological bibliography is intended to describe progress in reporting these studies; it also lists the Web tools available to measure impact. It is a focused bibliography, on the relationship between impact and access. It does not attempt to cover citation impact, or other related topics such as open access, more generally, although some key papers in these areas are listed as jump-off points for wider study.</em> </blockquote></p>]]>

<blockquote>On average, it cost nearly $10,000 to publish an article in a humanities or social-science journal in 2007, more than three times what it did to publish an article in a science, technical, or medical journal, a study found.</blockquote>]]>

<blockquote>Yesterday, Senators Lieberman (I-CT) and Cornyn (R-TX) introduced the Federal Research Public Access Act (S.1373), a bill that would ensure free, timely, online access to the published results of research funded by eleven U.S. federal agencies. S.1373 would require those agencies with annual extramural research budgets of $100 million or more to provide the public with online access to research manuscripts stemming from such funding no later than six months after publication in a peer-reviewed journal.  The bill gives individual agencies flexibility in choosing the location of the digital repository to house this content, as long as the repositories meet conditions for interoperability and public accessibility, and have provisions for long-term archiving.

<p>The bill specifically covers unclassified research funded by agencies including: Department of Agriculture, Department of Commerce, Department of Defense, Department of Education, Department of Energy, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Transportation, Environmental Protection Agency, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the National Science Foundation.</p>

<p>S. 1373 reflects the growing trend among funding agencies - and college and university campuses - to leverage their investment in the conduct of research by maximizing the dissemination of results.  It follows the successful path forged by the NIH's Public Access Policy, as well as by private funders like the Wellcome Trust, and universities such as Harvard and MIT.</p>

<p>Detailed information about the Federal Research Public Access Act is available at http://www.taxpayeraccess.org/frpaa.</p>

<p>All supporters of public access - universities and colleges, researchers, libraries, campus administrators, patient advocates, publishers, consumers, individuals, and others - are asked to ACT NOW to support this bill.</blockquote></p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>From a June 23 message sent by Lorraine Haricombe, Dean of Libraries at the University of Kansas, to the ARL (Association of Research Libraries) Directors Discussion List:</p>

<blockquote><em>Colleagues:
I am pleased to inform you that the Faculty Senate has approved an Open
Access Policy for KU at its final meeting on April 30, 2009. On May 19th and 22nd, respectively, the Provost and Chancellor approved
the policy.  The approval of this policy is significant in that it makes
KU the first public university to pass such a faculty-initiated policy
and puts KU faculty in the company of Harvard's Faculty of Arts and
Sciences, Harvard's Law School, Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of
Government, Stanford's School of Education, and most recently, the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology [...]. These are all
institutions whose faculties voted and approved policies very similar to
the policy passed by our Faculty Senate. 

<p>Please note: The policy has been approved in concept, but the details have yet to be determined.  Details of the policy implementation will be developed in the 2009-2010 academic year by a faculty senate task force. The KU Faculty Senate decided that additional details of the policy would be developed by faculty governance in consultation with the Provost's Office, to be voted on by the Faculty Senate in the coming academic year.  Whatever implementation plan is created will provide faculty with an option to seek a waiver from the policy (to opt out). As such an implementation task force is being created to develop the policy details and provide a report during the 2009-2010 school year. The entire policy is included at the end of this message.</em></p>

<p>Open Access Policy at KU<br />
"The faculty of the University of Kansas (KU) is committed to sharing the intellectual fruits of its research and scholarship as widely as possible and lowering barriers to its access. In recognition of that commitment and responsibility, the KU faculty is determined to take advantage of new technologies to increase access to its work by the citizens of Kansas and scholars, educators, and policymakers worldwide. In support of greater openness in scholarly endeavors, the KU faculty agrees to the following concept: Each faculty member grants to KU permission to make scholarly articles to which he or she made substantial intellectual contributions publicly available in the KU open access institutional repository, and to exercise the copyright in those articles. In legal terms, the permission granted by each faculty member is a nonexclusive, irrevocable, paid-up, worldwide license to exercise any and all rights under copyright relating to each of his or her scholarly articles, in any medium, and to authorize others to do the same, provided that the articles are not sold for a profit. This license in no way  interferes with the rights of the KU faculty author as the copyright holder of the work. The policy will apply to all scholarly articles authored or co-authored while a faculty member of KU. Faculty will be afforded an opt out opportunity. Faculty governance in consultation with the Provost's office will develop the details of the policy which will be submitted for approval by the Faculty Senate."</blockquote></p>

<p>Also, the week before, Harvard issued this <a href="http://www.gse.harvard.edu/blog/news_features_releases/2009/06/harvard-graduate-school-of-education-votes-open-access-policy.html">press release</a> (excerpted):<blockquote><em>The faculty of the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) voted overwhelmingly at its last faculty meeting to allow the university to make all faculty members' scholarly articles publicly available online. The resolution makes HGSE the fourth of Harvard's 10 schools to endorse open access to faculty research publications. The Faculties of Arts and Sciences, the Harvard Law School, and the Harvard Kennedy School all passed similar policies in recent months.<br />
[...]<br />
As a result of the resolution, HGSE faculty will now provide their scholarly articles to the Harvard Office for Scholarly Communication for deposit in an open access digital repository that is currently under development. When the repository launches later this year, the contents will be freely available to the public, unless an author chooses to embargo or block access. The policy makes rights sharing with publishers and self-archiving the default, while allowing faculty to waive Harvard's license on a case-by-case basis, at the author's discretion.</em></blockquote><br />
