SPARC Open Access Newsletter, June edition

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 18:00:36 UT

by Peter Suber. This issue takes a close look at how open access facilitates the process of scientific self-correction and improves the reliability of inquiry, drawing on arguments made by John Stuart Mill in 1859. Warning: For people interested in university and funder policies, journal licensing, repository deposits, citation impact, and taxpayer rights, this could be deadly dull. But for people with the philosophy gene, it could almost be interesting. The round-up section briefly notes 126 OA developments from May.

enews Feature: Berkeley steps forward with bold initiative to pay authors’ open-access charges

Thu, 15 May 2008 15:15:48 UT

It’s one thing to say you support open-access publishing. It’s another to provide authors with a pot of money to actually pay for it. That’s what’s happening at the University of California Berkeley. In January, the university launched the Berkeley Research Impact Initiative, a pilot program co-sponsored by the University Librarian and the Vice Chancellor for Research to cover publication charges for open-access journals.
