president of academy of science chairperson of the conference



Mehlhorn from Max Planck Gesellschaft



Deputy Director of CAS introduces

promoting open access



CAS has an enormous quantity of journals and they want to push openAccess



Elsevier China present



consensus of academic world and support of the government needed to develop models for OA.



Mehlhorn



next Berlin9 will take place in the US

300 institutions have signed Berlin declaration

"scientific knowledge and cultural heritage"

Open Access Journals

Publishers models

Repositories

Wikipedia



Obstacles

for the keynote



CNSF

China is promoting openAccess for Innovation Systems

As a funding organization they want the results of science open



Keynote 1: Pan Jiaofeng

about OA practices of CAS

CAs highest organizations for science in China

1 academic departments

2 research institutes (100 directly affiliated)

55000 employees

basic research, high technology research, sustainability





Mehlhorn

MPG  science and humanities!!!

6000 staff, 5000 PhD Students, 2000 guest scientists, 80 institutes, 273 directors,



Idea of National Libraries already expresses the openAccess spirit



MPG is committed to OA, but would never force their scientists to publish OA

Boundaries must be set in the right way

3 ways

- Getting Journals OA

- Improving OA Journals

- second publishing of articles in not OA journals

SCOAP from HEP  High Energy Physics as example



living reviews, openSource software for electronic publishing



dev.livingreviews.org

Living Reviews in Relativity has Impactfactor of 10.6

MPGDL put infrastructure in place



PubMan as institutional repository of MPG, many reasons for institutional repositories



Copyright issues cannot be with the single scientist. Copy Right agreements needed



Data!!!!!! not only publications

most data locked away because too cumbersome to make it available, changed by Internet

Shared data!

eSciDoc workbench of MPG for scientist workbench



Collaboration Germany China very intensive



Session 2

DFG presentation



DFG foerdert openArchive projects, also linking of journals to data



Only question about the collaboration with China



Australia

9 billion Dollars in reseearch every year



common classification codes 157 codes  (Chemistry has 7 codes)





session 4



Duke University

Elaborated OA Mechanisms.  As with MPG, there is no mandating possible, as researchers are in possess of there research



Goettingen

no mandate neither in Goettingen, but a letter of the University president to enforce open Access



MIT



more software development ungoing



PLOS

has gotten sustainable!  will make a first time profit in 2010

in all discussion openAccess journals are seen alternative to repositories, this is a problem



talking with Lisa Petrides

What can she do for our open Learning repositories. Sending to her Marcia's paper for review and sanity test



Springer

2000 journals a year

Springer has seen this from the beginning as a simple new business model.

Springer is now the worlds largest open access publisher

Springer is maintaining BioMedCentral



Gold Open Access is growing fast, will get 25% of the market within 2020

BioMedCentral, more than 200 journals, Low income country waivers for paying of the publishing fee



SWORD protocol



Open Access Journals can be used to populate Institutional Repositories



automatically through SWORD protocoll developed together with MIT.



Elsevier'

Quality and sustainability are important

supporting all mechanisms to quality sustainable content

Elsevier speaks about Research4Life as their contribution to open access

but showed strange map with Argentina and Chile as free countries



7% of Elsevier articles posted to repositories. Peer project to agree direct posting to repositories with authors



Elsevier wants to use with organizations to make access to primary research data easier



PLOS: we are giving waivers, when waivers are asked for, payment rate is about 90%

BioMedCentral: automatic recognition of Authors from LowIncome Countries and automatic waiver without asking contribution

To explore: linking PLOS journals directly to AGRIS, If Journal is PLOS then go to article!!



ePrints

big team

eprints also repository for videos and images or educational resources, ppts, slides

, chrystal factsheets



ePrints can produce linked data formats



openAire

implementing openAccess mandate in all member states

we need to study openAire guidelines

Driver 2 OpenAIRE 1.0  COAR 1.0

Minho in connection with Hasselt

CERN offers an Orphan repository build on the Invenio platform

FAO to become member of COAR?

Working groups

Content

Interoperability

Network support and training

coar-repositories.org

CIARD member of COAR?

COAR has a broad international scope and needs to be used for CIARD



XIAMEN repositories

50% DSpace, no Eprints, Fedora, 43% commercia, 7% own development

Only 3.8 % are willing to open withto member,  38.5 % require account, only 16% completely open



Agricultural University of Beijing

re-established contact

We have to write to Pan Wei. [email protected]



are investing at the moment in theses

more preservation then open access directed

repository component of the university information system



CAS



63 institutes with repositories, 40 open topublic, 23 not, many of them have collected 1000snd of items



85500 records with 60% links to fulltext



Japan, Seiko Tokuda







Bettina Goerner

Manager Springer OpenAcces

Linking AGRIS to Springer OpenAccess Journals, via linked data and via Records in AGRIS



SPARC

infrastructures

authors rigths

collaboration with DuraSpace foundation





CAS OA Policies

Zhang Xiaolin from  CAS Library

He is good, speaks English, and understands the business

Very good Challenges slide



PEER

Bruch MPDL

MPG has taken over the OpenAccess movement to get it out of the hands of the Publisher haters. like Harnard, Swan, Chan,

The PEER consortium is another of this means with STM consortium as a partners, where they are all Nature, Elsevier, Springer, BMJ, Wiley, Taylor Francis



Comparing impact of deposited articles in repositories



Costs and benefits of open Access



German National Licensing Program

NLP highest cost benefit return

In research intensive universities fees for publishing might be higher than subscription costs

pewliminary modelling suggests that the incremenal benefits from OA to all US federally funded research might be around 5imes the costs.



Dominique Tate

Support to Infrastructures in the UK



Session on Legal Issues and Copyright



Kevin Smith, Duke, Legal Officer



in all WTO countries copyright is automatically with the author. Author in a very powerful position



4 interests

Authors

Institutions as employers or repository owner

Owner of material incorporated in new works

users



If copyright is transferred by contract, the law rules not any more



there is a creative commons china mainland



What is science common?



China comes from communal property rights, America from private. They meet at creative commons



Lucie Guibault



In Germany material for teaching and research can be digitized and sent to scientific communities. Contested by publishers, but still law.



53a: sending of copies on order also permitted





OA expressively on the AGenda of copyright reform in Germany



MPDL very polemic with the Publishers



90% of scientists think that open Access is good, but only 8-10 % are in open access journals



Alma Swan works on the economic impact of openAccess  (OASIS and Key perspectives)



Big research universities would have to pay much more on the gold route of open access. Britain overall would save money, but some bigger universities would suffer



December 6

Meeting UNESCO - EC on Open Access in Developing COuntries



JF Dechamp contacted me







PubMan/EScieDoc



EScieDoc

completely openSource, sustained activity

It is Infrastructure plus activations. www.escidoc.org



Repository infrastructure, Infrastructure for Virtual Research Environments

manage linguistic data, laboratory data, publication infrastructure



New Infrastructure because research data need to be handled. service infrastructure for publication and research data



not only storage, but working environments



more archival capacities and more data management capacities.



Drupa plus eSciDOC!!!!!!!



integrate with other systems as core szenario



One source,  multiple reuse



eSciDoc, Pubman



Integrate with CMS in many MPG Institutes,



used in Spain and Japan



many standard formats supported



Technical Aspects



CONE a name entity service

COntrol of Name Entities



works with DDC



so this means, PubMan can create URIs that are Linked data enabled



Can Cone linke to vocabularies external to ESciDoc



Cone can easily integrate other subject vocabularies, stores URIs and  produces linked data



The MPG people brought a Chinese developer to present ESciDoc!!!



Germany and USA are Chinaá main partner!
