D2. The Evidence on Open Access Tim Ingoldsby, Director of Strategic Initiatives & Publisher Relations, American Institute of Physics; Philip M. Davis, PhD Candidate, Department of Communication, Cornell University; Jocalyn Clark, PhD, Senior Editor, PLoS Medicine There is growing attention and obligation to disseminate research in open-access forums. Open access provides free availability to and unrestricted use of scientific literature. Speakers will discuss recent research that investigates the impact of open-access publishing and self-archiving on citation, readership, accessibility, and the influence of scientific articles. Moderator: Catherine Nancarrow, Managing Editor, PLoS Computational Biology, PLoS Genetics, PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, PLoS Pathogens D2 Presentations Clark Davis Ingoldsby D3. Copyright, Open Access, Subscriptions, and Permissions: What Editors Need to Know in the New Digital Publishing Environment John Wilbanks, VP, Science, Creative Commons; Christopher Kenneally, Director, Author Relations, Copyright Clearance Center; Dale D. Berkley, PhD JD, Senior Attorney, National Institutes of Health Find out what science editors need to know about copyright and how it has traditionally been managed, as well as the various practices in place today (copyright transfer, license to publish, creative commons) and what they mean for authors and publishers (rights, liabilities, permissions). Discover copyright myths and facts, and learn what policies might be on the horizon (derivative use, attributions).

The Task Force on Open Access Publishing was convened by Ross Atkinson in January 2004.The purpose of the Task Force is to study the information available on Open Access publishing and to provide the CUL Library Management Team with a report that addressed specific questions. Alternative publishing models that would offer free and unimpeded access to scholarship promise both a more affordable system for academic institutions and their libraries and a more democratic one for readers and authors. The present Report examines both aspects of the Open Access promise and offers recommendations for CUL's involvement in the arena of Open Access publishing. >>CLARIFICATION: This Report of the Cornell University Library's Task Force on Open Access represents the Task Force's initial examination into the Open Access publishing model and its impact on the Library. On October 7, 2004 the Library Management Team reviewed the report and requested additional analysis, particularly with regard to the underlying economic model from an institutional, rather than library, perspective and more consideration of projected costs and benefits,especially when considered from a multi-institutional or consortial point of view.

Note to self: Peter Suber wanted to re-analyse this data, and it's in Excel so I could probably do it if he hasn't yet had time.
