Juergen Luethje prbuero@uni-hamburg.de Universitaetspraesident GERMANY: University of Hamburg http://www.uni-hamburg.de http://lls1.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/ "Our policy for providing open access to scientific information produced within our university is built on three methods that are detailed below: 1. Open Access publication in our Hamburg University Press 2. Supporting the GAP cooperation model 3. Building of an open institutional content repository Some details: 1) Publication via our own Hamburg University Press (http://hup.rrz.uni-hamburg.de), which supports an open access policy for all types of publication including monographs is a 'golden' solution. 2) Further strenghening and enlarging of the GAP network (funded by DFG and accessible via http://www.gap-c.de) for federating academic open access publishers and joining forces both in technical as in political and organisational terms is another 'golden' track. 3) Building of an institutional repository based on the open source MyCoRe middleware and which will also serve as a platform for self-archiving. We are currently working to make this platform operational, and once this is achieved we will invite scientists from our university to use it for open access self-archiving of their scientific work. This is our 'green' approach."

In this way it contributes to a growing international corpus of refereed and other research literature available on line, a process occurring in universities worldwide. The following materials are to be included: refereed research articles and contributions at the post-print stage (subject to any necessary agreement with the publisher); refereed research literature at the pre-printed stage (with corrigenda added subsequently if necessary at the discretion of the author); theses (as prepared for the Australian Digital Theses (ADT) process); un-refereed research literature, conference contributions, chapters in proceedings, etc. The material is to be organised in the repository according to the same categories used for the reporting of research to DEST [provide link to where this can be accessed]. Material to be commercialised, or which contains confidential material, or of which the promulgation would infringe a legal commitment by the University and/or the author, should not be included in the repository.

This policy is compatible with publishers' copyright agreements: The copyright for the unrefereed preprint resides entirely with the author before it is submitted for peer-reviewed publication, hence it can be self-archived irrespective of the copyright policy of the journal to which it is eventually submitted. Unrefereed preprints will stay confidential in our archive, till the publication, if the authors wish it. The copyright for the peer-reviewed postprint will depend on the specific wording of the copyright agreement that the author signs with the publisher. The copyright transfer agreement will either specify this right explicitly or the author can inquire about it directly.

It is our policy to maximise the visibility, usage and impact of our research output by maximising online access to it for all would-be users and researchers worldwide.
1a. It is also our policy to minimise the effort that each of us has to expend in order to provide open online access to our research output: http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/10688/
1b. With all our research output accessible online we will be able to respond to the research assessment and other administrative initiatives with minimal input and effort from individual staff.
2. We have accordingly adopted the policy that all research output is to be self-archived in the departmental EPrint Archive before and after peer-reviewed publication. This archive forms the official record of the Department's research publications; all publication lists required for administration or promotion will be generated from this source.
3. Our policy is compatible with publishers' copyright agreements as follows:
3a. The copyright for the unrefereed preprint resides entirely with the author before it is submitted for peer-reviewed publication, hence it can be self-archived irrespective of the copyright policy of the journal to which it is eventually submitted.
3b. The copyright for the peer-reviewed postprint will depend on the wording of the copyright agreement which the author signs with the publisher.
3c. Many publishers will allow the peer-reviewed postprint to be self-archived. The copyright transfer agreement will either specify this right explicitly or the author can inquire about it directly. If you are uncertain about the terms of your agreement, a directory of journal self-archiving policies -- http://romeo.eprints.org -- is available to guide you. Wherever possible, you are advised to modify your copyright agreement so that it does not disallow self-archiving.
3d. In the rare case where you have signed a very restrictive copyright transfer form in which you have agreed explicitly not to self-archive the peer-reviewed postprint, you are encouraged to self-archive, alongside your already-archived preprint, a "corrigenda" file, listing the substantive changes the user would need to make in order to turn the unrefereed preprint into the refereed postprint.
3e. Copyright agreements may state that eprints can be archived on your personal homepage. As far as publishers are concerned, the EPrint Archive is a part of the Department's infrastructure for your personal homepage.
4. We do not require you to archive the full text of books or research monographs. It is sufficient to archive the references along with the usual metadata.
5. Some journals still maintain submission policies which state that a preprint will not be considered for publication if it has been previously 'publicised' by making it accessible online. Unlike copyright transfer agreements, such policies are not a matter of law. If you have concerns about submitting an archived paper to a journal which still maintains such a restrictive submission policy, please discuss it with the Department's IPR and Copyright Advisor.

It offers advice and guidance on issues such as metadata, formats and copyright. It will aim to ensure the quality of the metadata being added. It provides a complementary service to traditional catalogues and learning resources.) http://archives.eprints.org/eprints.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fecrystals.chem.soton.ac.uk%2F (Crystallographic Stracture Data and Reports) The University of Southampton is to make all its academic and scientific research output freely available. A decision by the University to provide core funding for its Institutional Repository establishes it as a central part of its research infrastructure, marking a new era for Open Access to academic research in the UK. Until now, the databases used by universities to collect and disseminate their research output have been funded on an experimental basis by JISC (the Joint Information Systems Committee). The University of Southampton is the first in the UK to announce that it is transitioning its repository from the status of an experiment to an integral part of the research infrastructure of the institution. Southampton established its repository (http://eprints.soton.ac.uk/) in 2002 as part of the JISC TARDis project (Targeting Academic Research for Deposit and Disclosure), to explore issues surrounding the Open Access paradigm. The repository provides a publications database with full text, multimedia and research data. The Southampton repository will now become a service of the University Library in partnership with the University's Information Systems Services and its School of Electronics and Computer Science (who host the JISC-funded software development team). !

The CNRS intends to establish an institutional archive a high quality and wide coverage repository of its research publication output. It is expected that the adoption of a highly incentivized institutional self-archiving policy for our researchers will ensure that the majority of CNRS publications deposited in the archive will also be made externally visible in Open Access.

1112190014 Prof. Jean-Pierre Verjus Jean-Pierre.Verjus@inrialpes.fr Director of Scientific Information and Communication, INRIA FRANCE:INRIA (The French National Institute for Research in Computer Sciences and Control) http://www.inria.fr/index.en.html http://archives.eprints.org/eprints.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fhal.ccsd.cnrs.fr%2F INRIA (The French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control) is about to launch an Open Archive dedicated to its scientific publications. INRIA Chairman Gilles Kahn signed the Berlin Declaration last June and strongly embraces the Open Archive Initiative. He is convinced that such an archive will increase INRIA's scientific visibility and impact, keep track of INRIA's scientific output, and be of use to the whole scientific community. INRIA's Open Archive is part of the HAL Open Archive, produced by the CCSD (Center for Direct Scientific Communication) of CNRS, originally for physicists. INRIA is now collaborating with the CCSD for the future evolution of HAL [Hyper Articles Online]. INRIA scientists and their research partners will be strongly encouraged to use HAL-INRIA as a repository for their research. Documents to be archived include mostly submitted or accepted contributions in Conferences and Journals, book chapters, but also tutorials, INRIA reports, presentations, self-archived dissertations and preprints. It will also be possible to archive the proceedings of conferences organized, chaired or edited by INRIA scientists. Free access to archived articles will be granted whenever compatible with the publisher's requirements. INRIA Scientists have been advised to check the journal's copyright policy on http://romeo.eprints.org before signing any copyright agreement. Articles provided as LateX sources are automatically mirrored into ArXiv.
1112901802 Richard Fyffe rfyffe@ku.edu Assistant Dean of Libraries for Scholarly Communication US: University of Kansas http://www.ku.edu http://archives.eprints.org/eprints.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fkuscholarworks.ku.edu KU ScholarWorks is a digital repository for scholarly work created by the faculty and staff of the University of Kansas. RESOLUTION on Access to Scholarly Information Passed by the KU University Council 3/10/05:
Access to scholarly information is vital to all members of the academic and research communities. Scholars and their professional associations share a common interest in the broadest possible dissemination of peer-reviewed literature and many other products of the scholarly process. Moreover, as the University of Kansas increases the size of its faculty and intensifies its research program, it is especially important that access to the work we create and to the work of our colleagues at other universities and colleges be as broad and affordable as possible. The quantity and diversity of scholarly information worldwide, however, challenges the ability of the current system of scholarly publishing to provide adequate and equitable access. The business practices of some journals and journal publishers, moreover, are inimical to scholars’ interests and threaten to limit the promise of increased access inherent in digital technologies. Development of university collections of scholarly material is more and more constrained by the rising costs of journals and the databases that index and aggregate those journals. Faculty, staff, students, and university administrators must all take greater responsibility for expanding access to scholarly information and ensuring its long-term accessibility while maintaining scholarly standards of quality. Therefore, the University of Kansas Faculty Senate: · Notes with approval national and international efforts to shape a more diverse and sustainable system of scholarly communication; · Endorses the contributions of the University of Kansas and its faculty to these efforts, including the KU ScholarWorks repository, a digital archive that can provide access and long-term preservation for the scholarly works of KU faculty and staff; · Calls on all faculty of the University of Kansas to seek amendments to publisher’s copyright transfer forms to permit the deposition of a digital copy of every article accepted by a peer-reviewed journal into the ScholarWorks repository, or a similar open access venue; · Calls on all faculty, staff, and students of the University of Kansas to become familiar with the business practices of journals and journal publishers in their specialty; · Encourages tenured faculty in particular to support journals (and their publishers) whose pricing and accessibility policies are consistent with continuing access to this literature through the choices faculty make in the submission of papers, the allotment of time to refereeing activities, and participation in editorial posts; · Calls on University administrators and departmental, school, college and University committees to reward efforts by faculty, staff, and students to start or support more sustainable models for scholarly communication, and to provide financial and material support for organized activities initiated by faculty, staff, and students that will ensure broad access to the scholarly literature; · Calls on the University, professional scholarly associations, and professional organizations of university administrators to invest in the infrastructure necessary to support new venues for peer-reviewed publication, and in concert with this effort; · Also calls on the University, professional scholarly associations, and professional organizations of university administrators to establish clear guidelines for merit salary review, peer evaluation on federal grants, and promotion and tenure evaluation of faculty and staff that will allow the assessment of and the attribution of appropriate credit for works published in such venues; and · Calls on the University Libraries to provide resources that help faculty, staff, and students understand the options available for dissemination of scholarly research, the business practices of different journals and journal publishers, and their impact on the system of scholarly communication.
