Hi José Most Open Access sites have a license statement in the footer of the page or in a page the provides details regarding their licensing (sometimes you really have to look for it). For example: BMJ. They are listed on the Open Access Week site, but most of the work they host is not "open",nevertheless they do host articles that are Open Access and are under the CC license. http://group.bmj.com/group/about/legal/terms/

Sent by: [email protected] Hi :-), Many universities are setting up what they call "open access" repositories where people can freely access scientific work (articles, dissertations, etc.) online. However, most of them do not have a word on licensing, either by displaying a CC license or by making explicit the terms of use of the materials in the database. As I see it, anything available online (freely accessible) without a regular CC license or a clear explanation of the terms of use should not count as an OER, but I'd appreciate some grounded opinion on this, because I might be wrong. So, my question is: are these repositories, or the items in them, considered OER? Regards José Mota -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
