Budapest Open Access Initiative

Full text
The Budapest Open Access Initiative arises from a small but lively meeting convened in Budapest by the Open Society Institute (OSI) on December 1-2, 2001. The purpose of the meeting was to accelerate progress in the international effort to make research articles in all academic fields freely available on the internet. The participants represented many points of view, many academic disciplines, and many nations, and had experience with many of the ongoing initiatives that make up the open access movement. In Budapest they explored how the separate initiatives could work together to achieve broader, deeper, and faster success. They explored the most effective and affordable strategies for serving the interests of research, researchers, and the institutions and societies that support research. Finally, they explored how OSI and other foundations could use their resources most productively to aid the transition to open access and to make open-access publishing economically self-sustaining. The result is the Budapest Open Access Initiative. It is at once a statement of principle, a statement of strategy, and a statement of commitment.

JEFFERY, G Keith / Open Access: An Introduction. (On line) ERCIM NEWS edition (Available at: http://www.ercim.org/publication/Ercim_News/enw64/jeffery.html )

Somary

Open Access (OA) means that electronic scholarly articles are available freely at the point of use. The subject has been discussed for over 10 years, but has reached a crescendo of discussion over the last few years with various declarations in favour of OA from groups of researchers or their representatives. The UK House of Commons Science and Technology Committee considered the issue in 2004, reporting in the summer in favour of OA. This indicates the importance of the issue, and led to statements from large research funding bodies such as the Welcome Trust and the Research Councils UK.
MotivationsEthics: There is an ethical argument that research funded by the public should be available to the public. Since research is an international activity, this crosses national boundaries.
Research Impact: The Internet provides an opportunity. Modern harvesting techniques and search engines make it possible to discover publications of relevance if they are deposited in an OA repository with a particular metadata standard. If all authors did this then the world of research would be available 'at the fingertips'. There is evidence that articles available in an OA repository have more accesses (readers), citations and therefore impact. Costs: There is concern over the hindrance to research caused by the cost of journal subscriptions, whether electronic or paper. These costs run well above the rate of inflation with the result that libraries with restricted budgets (ie all of them!) are no longer providing many journals needed by researchers.
Just reward: There is also concern that in traditional scholarly publishing, most of the work (authoring, reviewing, editing) is done freely by the community and that the publishers make excessive profits from the actual publishing (making available) process. In conventional publishing, the institution subscribes to the publication channel to obtain electronic access or paper copies.

Glossary of Open access

2007-02-05T00:13:00.000-08:00

Glossary of Open access

Open archives: The term open archive designates a data repository generated via scientific research and teaching, accessible over the Internet and that is freely accessible. This openness is made possible by the use of protocols enabling interoperability with other servers. You can archive pre-publications, as well as official publications, if you respect certain conditions defined by publishers

http://www.inria.fr/publications/archiveouverte/lexique.en.html

Archive ouverte: Le terme archive ouverte désigne un réservoir de données issues de la recherche scientifique et de l'enseignement, accessible sur Internet et dont l'accès est ouvert. Cette ouverture est rendue possible par l'utilisation de protocoles qui permettent une interopérabilité avec d'autres serveurs. On peut archiver des pré-publications, aussi bien que des publications officielles, tout en respectant certaines conditions des éditeurs

http://www.inria.fr/publications/archiveouverte/lexique.fr.htm

Open access :The international output of researchers made available over the public Internet, by the researchers themselves or their dependents, associated with the right to read, copy, download, use, print, and distribute the output, or for any other licit purpose, without financial, legal, or technical limitations. The only legitimate concern imposed on the reuse, distribution, or highlighting of the documents is the recognition of the author(s)' authorship, the guarantee that the authors can control the integrity of their work, and the right to be correctly recognized and cited.

http://www.inria.fr/publications/archiveouverte/lexique.en.html:

Libre accès :Production intellectuelle des chercheurs mise à disposition sur l'Internet public, par eux-mêmes ou par leurs ayants droits, associée au droit de la lire, la copier, la télécharger, l'utiliser, l'imprimer, la distribuer, ou de s'en servir pour un logiciel, ou à toute autre fin licite, sans limitation financière, juridique ou technique. La seule et légitime condition imposée à la réutilisation, la diffusion, la mise en valeur de ces documents est la reconnaissance de la paternité de leur(s) auteur(s), la garantie aux auteurs d'un contrôle sur l'intégrité de leurs travaux et le droit à être correctement reconnus et cités.

http://www.inria.fr/publications/archiveouverte/lexique.fr.htm

Interoperability: The ability of two or more systems, or components to exchange information, and to use the information that has been exchanged

http://openaccess.inist.fr/article.php3?id_article=103

Interopérabilité : l’interopérabilité est la capacité de différents systèmes informatiques à dialoguer entre eux, à communiquer sans ambiguïté et ainsi interpréter des informations correctement.

http://openaccess.inist.fr/article.php3?id_article=103

Harvester: A harvester is a program that collects metadata from one or more OAI open archives or warehouses (databases that support the OAI-PMH protocol).

http://www.inria.fr/publications/archiveouverte/lexique.en.html

Moissonneur : Un moissonneur est un programme qui permet la collecte de métadonnées auprès d'une ou plusieurs archives ouvertes ou entrepôts OAI (base de données qui supporte le protocole OAI-PMH).

http://www.inria.fr/publications/archiveouverte/lexique.fr.html

Metadata: Set of structured data describing physical or digital resources, for the purpose of sharing the information and for the interoperability of electronic resources (e.g. date, author, title, journal name, etc.)

http://www.inria.fr/publications/archiveouverte/lexique.en.html

Métadonnées : Ensemble de données structurées décrivant des ressources physiques ou numériques, permettant le partage de l'information et l'interopérabilité des ressources électroniques (ex. : date, auteur, titre, nom du journal, etc.)

http://www.inria.fr/publications/archiveouverte/lexique.fr.html

Postprint: Version of an article after evaluation by peers, generally accepted for publication. There are both the final version submitted by the author to the publisher (final draft post-refereeing) and the definitive versions published by the publisher at its site. Very few publishers authorize self-archiving of their version.

http://www.inria.fr/publications/archiveouverte/lexique.en.html

Postpublication : Version d'un article après évaluation par les pairs, généralement acceptée pour publication. On peut distinguer la version finale soumise par l'auteur à l'éditeur (final draft post-refereeing) et la version définitive publiée par l'éditeur sur son site. Très peu d'éditeurs autorisent l'auto-archivage de leur version

http://www.inria.fr/publications/archiveouverte/lexique.fr.html

Self-archiving: Submission of scientific output by the author on a public server, preferably in an open archive. In November 2004, 39% of researchers were using self-archiving. http://www.inria.fr/publications/archiveouverte/lexique.en.html

Auto-archivage : Dépôt par l'auteur de sa production scientifique sur un serveur public, de préférence sur une archive ouverte. En novembre 2004, 39% des chercheurs pratiquaient déjà l'auto-archivage
