[GOAL] Re: OA and scholarly publishers

[Reme Melero]

Good morning!

Thinking positively, I would recommend the following change in one clause of
the  What rights do I retain as a journal author*? stated in Elsevier's portal,
which says

"the right to post a revised personal version of the text of the final journal
article (to reflect changes made in the peer review process) on your personal or
institutional website or server for scholarly purposes*, incorporating the
complete citation and with a link to the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) of the
article (but not in subject-oriented or centralized repositories or
institutional repositories with mandates for systematic postings unless there is
a specific agreement with the publisher. External link Click here for further
information);"


By this one:

"the right to post a revised personal version of the text of the final journal
article (to reflect changes made in the peer review process) on your personal, 
institutional website,  subject-oriented or centralized repositories or
institutional repositories or server for scholarly purposes, incorporating the
complete citation and with a link to the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) of the
article "


I think this could be something to be encouraged, celebrated and recognized!

      Hi all,

       

      I’m glad we’re now moving our conversation on in new directions, and
      I’ld like to suggest one which I hope will be productive.  The
      discussion on this list often seems to me be based on the assumption
      that scholarly publishers are a wholly negative force in the open
      access world, and a community to be avoided/undermined/mistrusted at
      all costs.  This feels unwarranted to me – and perhaps other
      publishers on this list who are not so audacious as to stick their
      heads over the parapet.  So, knowing that positive messages are
      powerful ways to influence:  what positive things are established
      scholarly publishers doing to facilitate the various visions for
      open access and future scholarly communications that should be
      encouraged, celebrated, recognized?   

       

      With kind wishes,

       

      Alicia

This has just been published 
-see http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill/2012-2013/0005/13005.p
df.  Clause 6 gives special protection against defamation actions to peer
reviewed scholarly articles (the first time peer review has figured in a
piece of legislation??). This is something that scholarly publishers will
no doubt pick up on as an argument against unrefereed green OA.
