L'ottimo sito/blog ROARs (Return On Academic Research) ha pubblicato
questo articolo introduttivo all'OpenAcess, immagino che i contenuti
siano noti ai frequentatori di questa lista ma volevo approfittarne
sia per segnalare il sito sia per la completezza del post stesso:

DOAJ festeggia il compleanno.
Auguri :-)
Ne approfitto per dirvi che (proprio grazie a Melissa :-),
a giugno sarà ad OAI8, conferenza internazionale sull'Open Access, assieme
a qualche altro wikipediano.
L'idea di coinvolgere wikip/mediani nelle conferenze e incontri OA era nata
in una conversaizione a Wikimania fra Melissa, lau e me, l'anno scorso,
e ci ha preso in parola :-)
Questo per dire che anche "ai piani alti" dell movimento OA c'è *molto*
interesse verso la comunità wiki.
Se avete qualsiasi tipo di idee o progetti, parliamone, sai mai...

Dear colleagues,
*Copenhagen, Denmark* - It is now 10 years since a new initiative was set
in motion: The Directory of Open Access Journals is the result of a unique
venture between Lund University Libraries, supported by the Information
Program of the Open Society Institute (http://www.osi.hu/infoprogram/),
along with SPARC (The Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources
Coalition, (http://sparceurope.org).
Back in February 2003<http://www.doaj.org/doaj?func=news&nId=42&uiLanguage=en>,
the then Program Manager of the Open Access Program at the Open Society
Foundations<http://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/about/programs/information-program>,
Melissa Hagemann said, somewhat prophetically, "Open access journals can
compete with traditional subscription-based journals if librarians and
users are made aware of these titles, and the Directory of Open Access
Journals is the way to publicise their existence." Happily, she was right
and today, DOAJ sits at the very heart of open access scholarly content on
the web.
Today, Melissa told us that the "Directory [has] become a major reference
tool for the scholarly communications community. Back in 2002, when OSF
helped to define OA, we thought that it wasn't enough to simply call for
the development of OA journals, but we knew that there had to be a guide or
directory where users could find and access these open resources. Thus we
were pleased to support the development of the DOAJ and have been proud to
see that it is now a resource used by libraries throughout the world."
Today, DOAJ receives over 12 million page requests a month, lists journals
in 51 different languages, from 119 countries and is used the whole world
over.
Today it is hard to imagine a world without the open access publishing
model, without open access content freely available online for everyone to
use, re-use and add to. Back in 2002, it was a very different story and the
open access model was struggling to gain a real footing in the scholarly
publishing communities. Libraries were struggling to retain journal
collections as they saw their budgets cut and subscription prices hiked.
The open access movement was seen as a radical one, looked on with some
derision by traditional publishers. Therefore, one of the primary tasks of
establishing the DOAJ was to increase the visibility on the web and in
library holdings of open access content, alongside the more traditional
fee-based journals. Who would have thought that in ten years’ time, we
would see scholarly content from well-established publishers rubbing
shoulders with content from emerging territories, from newborn journals and
from journals with experimental business or publishing models? And yet, the
content indexed in DOAJ today is all that and more.
Over the years, open access journals have developed rapidly and so have the
demands and expectations of the online communities consuming the
information published. DOAJ has already started strategic
partnerships<http://www.doaj.org/doaj?func=news&nId=3&uiLanguage=en>
to
carry it through the next 10 years: a new home under the management of
Infrastructure Services for Open Access (www.is4oa.org), a new platform
implemented by SemperTool<http://www.doaj.org/doaj?func=news&nId=43&uiLanguage=en>
(www.sempertool.dk) and new, tighter criteria for including journals in
DOAJ.
DOAJ’s various stakeholders – researchers, funders, universities,
libraries, and users - all have demands and expectations of the DOAJ
service and thus the next ten years will see continued development of
services so that DOAJ can strive to meet and exceed expectations.
Collaboration and being an active part in the community is key to DOAJ’s
success so we will be interacting more with the community that has
supported us so avidly.
DOAJ’s managing director, Lars Bjørnshauge, said “We are very grateful
for the support over the years from all of our members, supporters &
sponsors and we are delighted that DOAJ has reached such an important
milestone. While we have already made such great progress in 2013, I feel
that we have so much more to do. I hope that DOAJ can continue to count on
support from the community and allow us to reach our goals over the next 10
years.â€

Cari tutti,
oggi ha aperto Zenodo
https://zenodo.org
open repository multidisciplinare e aperto a tutti.
Mi pare una grandissima idea, e un progetto molto promettente( c'è dietro
OpenAIRE, e il CERN)
Una delle cose che mi interessa di più, per esempio, è la possibilità di
creare singole comunità,
cosa che nella mia esperienza è una feature cruciale.
Non so bene ancora perchè, ma mi pare una svolta non da poco nel mondo OA.
Ditemi pure le vostre impressioni, sono curioso
Aubrey
Inoltro anche qui.
Ciao,

Bellissimo, soprattutto per il Doi, e per il fatto che è in mano a un
ente di ricerca. Le multinazionali dell'editoria scientifica pensano che
il futuro non stia più nel controllo dell'accesso, ma in quello della
bibliometria (v. il recente acquisto di Mendeley da parte di Elsevier):
uno strumento del genere, se si sviluppa, offre una fonte di dati non
controllata da loro.
Buona anche l'idea di renderlo più "social" e meno silos, per usare una
metafora di Antonella De Robbio.
Dovremmo cercare di rendere i nostri archivi aperti interoperabili con
Z.
Un saluto,
MCP
(*) Fuori tema, qui c'è un perl script per convertire i file da XML
Docbook al markup di MediaWiki,:

Ho adattato un prodotto altrui alle esigenze connesse ai miei file
XML.. Lo script è dunque fatto su misura per me. Ma forse può essere
utile anche ad altri.
