Dear all,
I presume the scheme, after polishing and refinement, will be
implemented as a data base of a web tool, and funders and
universities/research centres will be treated by separate, as we have
done in the OA policies directory, MELIBEA
http://www.accesoabierto.net/politicas/default.php , for years (see
our scheme and form to suggest a new policy for institutional
http://www.accesoabierto.net/politicas/nueva.php?directorio=politicasversion=group=Instituci%F3n%20acad%E9mica/investigadoraand
funder
http://www.accesoabierto.net/politicas/nueva.php?directorio=politicasversion=group=Entidad%20financiadora
entities), by the way missed in the background of the OA policy schema.
I will contact directly for specific comments with the PASTEUR4OA parterns.
Good morning
Reme

A schema for OA policies
.

There are now many OA policies, from research funders and
universities, listed in Sherpa/Juliet
http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/juliet/ and ROARMAP
http://roarmap.eprints.org/. This can lead to some confusion,
especially for an author who is subject to more than one, neatly
illustrated in a slide used by John Norman of Cambridge at an ALPSP
seminar
http://www.alpsp.org/Ebusiness/ProductCatalog/1405MRO.aspx?ID=395
earlier this year (available here
http://www.alpsp.org/Ebusiness/Libraries/1405MRO_Media/1405MRO_John_Norman_presentation.sflb.ashx?download=true,
PDF, slide 8). While potential alignment of policies is an ambition of
the EC PASTEUR4OA project http://www.pasteur4oa.eu/, and there are
specific calls for some alignment between RCUK and REF OA policies in
the UK, a first step might be simply to have policies expressed in a
relatively consistent way.
It turns out that this is not as straightforward as it might sound. A
group of us, including Alma Swan, Stevan Harnad, Bill Hubbard, Mafalda
Picarra and myself, have been working on a draft schema for a while
now. It remains a draft, and we are very interested in feedback on it.
Proposed schema for OA policies 20141117
http://scholarlycommunications.jiscinvolve.org/wp/files/2014/12/Proposed-schema-for-OA-policies-20141117.docx
[MS Word]. There is a balance to be struck, between precise
description, complexity of expression, and difficulty in actually
using the schema. While the draft is quite long, we think that – on
the basis of an analysis of a range of real OA policies – it needs to
be long, to avoid too much ambiguity. And, of course, the schema would
only need to be filled out when a policy were issued or revised, which
we hope would not be too often.
Anyway, we are now asking for feedback, both via comments on this blog
post, and more directly in some cases. We hope, at the very least,
that the schema will provide a framework for a systematic and informed
debate on where and why policies differ.
