How to build a case for university policies and practices in support of Open Access. Download the report1 See also: Publishing research papers: Which policy will deliver best value for your university? 2 Open Access, widely adopted, can save universities money, increase the efficiency of their research operations, enable them to share research outputs more effectively and provide greater visibility and impact for their research programmes. JISC has developed an economic model to help universities calculate the costs and benefits of different modes of scholarly communication. Open Access Open Access is the immediate, free-to-use access to peer-reviewed research literature. By definition, it applies to journal articles and peer-reviewed conference papers, though in practice it is extending to book chapters, monographs and research data.
Opening up access to the literature enables research to proceed more efficiently and more effectively. Types of Open AccessOpen Access journals These are journals that make their content freely available online. Types of data for collection. UKOER Support. From CETISwiki This page provides an overview of CETIS' support for the UKOER programme. Supporting UKOER CETIS support for the programme is intended not only to help projects as they work out how their own practice of sharing OERs but also to inform the programme as a whole, shape any future work with OERs, and contribute to the wider OER community.
Our approach throughout will be to build on specific issues raised by projects to produce general guidance and reflection. In the first instance this information will be available through the OER pages linked to by the navigation box to the right. CETIS support for the UKOER programme is both part of our wider remit as an Innovation Centre and a specific piece of work for JISC. Key outputs Some of the key outputs of the support work will include: People involved R. All of our contact details can be found on CETIS contacts. Defining Noncommercial report published. Almost one year ago we launched a study of how people understand “noncommercial use.”
The study, generously supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, included in-depth interviews and two waves of in-person and online focus groups and online questionnaires. The last included a random sample of U.S. (geographic restriction mandated by resource constraints) internet users and in an extended form, open questionnaires promoted via this blog (called “CC Friends & Family” in the report).
Today, we’re publishing the Defining Noncommercial study report and raw data, released under a CC Attribution license and CC0 public domain waiver respectively — yes, this report on “noncommercial” may unambiguously be used for commercial purposes. The study was conducted by Netpop Research under advisement from academics and a working group consisting of several CC jurisdiction project members as well as CC staff and board members.
