Re: [Wikimedia-l] WHO interested in evidence on the impact of CC licensing
Hi James, I have be trying to convince the World Health Organization to go to a CC BY SA license for a few years now. Najeeb Al-Shorbaji Director of Knowledge, Ethics and Research at WHO states: https://dgroups.org/hifa2015/discussions/35152a41 We would welcome sharing with us some evidence-based research on how licensing works under the Creative Commons attribution licence has made an impact in the area of scientific, technical and medical publishing. If people know of research articles on this topic please send them my way. Not research papers either, but a recent explanation on why ESA is sharing Rosette NAVCAM images under cc by sa. http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2014/11/04/rosetta-navcam-images-now-available-under-a-creative-commons-licence/ HTH, -- Jean-Frédéric ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe

And just to clarify currently WHO is green open access, free to view but not free to reuse. The request is for them to go gold open access free to view and free to reuse. They are wondering why is this reuse bit important. -- James Heilman MD, CCFP-EM, Wikipedian The Wikipedia Open Textbook of Medicine www.opentextbookofmedicine.com ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe

The request is for them to go gold open access free to view and free to reuse. Those definitions are wrong: green is self-archiving by the author (e.g. by posting a copy on arxiv), while gold is open access via the journal's site. Neither 'gold' or 'green' means that the content can be reused, although articles may also be released under a free license. Have a read of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access_journal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access_journal (and note that no-where does that article use the word reuse, or even licence).

Re: [Wikimedia-l] WHO interested in evidence on the impact of CC licensing
Not what you asked, but UNESCO's recent leaflet is rather nice and has a dozen pages on impact. http://www.unesco.de/fileadmin/medien/Dokumente/Kommunikation/Open_Content_A_Practical_Guide_to_Using_Open_Content_Licences_web.pdf James Heilman, 02/12/2014 21:20: We would welcome sharing with us some evidence-based research on how licensing works under the Creative Commons attribution licence has made an impact in the area of scientific, technical and medical publishing. What sort of impact?
