A discussion with Marco Tullney, initiator of the bottom-up initiative KOALA (Konsortiale Open Access Lösungen Aufbauen, i.e. Establishing Consortial Open Access Solutions). Building upon an established role in the organisation of library consortia that negotiate deals with commercial publishers, Tullney and his colleagues have succeeded to acquire small sums from more than a hundred partner libraries to fund journals and books series. Each funding period lasts for three years, with the consortia covering all legitimate costs of running a publication outlet. So far, ten small to medium sized journals have received funding, as well as two smaller book series. Based on his experience from the German-speaking area, Tullney shares several pieces of advice on how to set up similar funding mechanisms in other regions. He also raises the fundamental question about how to make sure that Diamond OA can grow from its current status as a nieche phenomenon in a limited spectrum of disciplines to becoming a sustainable and attractive model for scholars across all fields.

与自下而上的 KOALA(Konsortiale Open Access Lösungen Aufbauen,即建立联合开放存取解决方案)倡议发起人马尔科-塔尔尼(Marco Tullney)的讨论。图尔尼和他的同事们在组织图书馆联盟与商业出版商谈判交易的过程中发挥了重要作用,在此基础上,他们成功地从一百多家合作图书馆获得了小额资金,用于资助期刊和丛书。每个资助期为三年,由联合体承担经营出版渠道的所有合法费用。迄今为止,已有十种中小型期刊和两种小型丛书获得了资助。根据他在德语地区的经验,塔尔尼就如何在其他地区建立类似的资助机制提出了一些建议。他还提出了一个基本问题,即如何确保钻石 OA 能够从目前在有限学科范围内的小规模现象发展成为对所有领域的学者都具有吸引力的可持续模式:2024年5月3日

Invest in Open Infrastructure (IOI) is a non-profit initiative specialising in undertaking research on infrastructure tailor-made for open science and in discussing their findings with stakeholders to increase the investment in, and adoption of, open infrastructure. With a team of eight based in Europe, the USA and Africa, IOI also supports the adoption of open infrastructure through research-based funding pilots such as the IOI Fund. Its most recent tool is a collaboratively developed, openly available database designed to help institutions identify and evaluate open infrastructure solutions. This database, the Infra Finder, at the time of its launch contains structured information on 57 infrastructure providers that can be compared in a side-by-side view.

V. Proudman, Jon Treadway, Iva Melinščak Zlodi, Per Pippin Aspaas
A discussion on SPARC Europe's report Opening Knowledge: Retaining Rights and Open Licensing in Europe (made public via Zenodo, 28 June 2023). Three of the authors of the report share their thoughts on why the landscape differs so much between countries. Questions include why so many institutions in the United Kingdom and Norway stand out as early adopters, whereas other countries have yet to start implementing Rights Retention Policies, be it a national or institutional level. Various outreach and dissemination activities are on-going, and there appears to be promising developments in several European countries that might radically change the landscape for open licensing and self-archiving across Europe, thereby speeding up the transformation towards full open access to the scholarly record. The recording was made in conjunction with the 18th Munin Conference on Scholarly Publishing in Tromsø, November 2023. First published online: January 23, 2024.

Felix Schönbrodt, Professor of Psychology at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich, tells about an initiative that he coordinates within the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Psychologie (German Psychological Society). Motivated by the Reproducibility Crisis and a rising frustration with the publishers of high-ranking journals, Schönbrodt has co-authored three position papers on the theme of responsible research assessment. The suggestion is to develop a two-stage evaluation system for hiring, the first of which will use responsible metrics with emphasis on open data, pre-registration and several aspects of reproducibility, whereas the second stage will focus on a qualitative (content-oriented) evaluation of selected candidates. The propositions of Schönbrodt’s group have so far led to published feedback from more than 40 different scholars. Besides his nation-wide work within the German Psychological Society, Schönbrodt is the managing director of LMU’s Open Science Centre, where scholars from different disciplines convene for workshops on various aspects of Open Science. Under the nickname «nicebread» (Schön = nice, Brodt = bread), he also runs a personal blog and a project webpage on GitHub. Interview recorded in Munich, October 2023. First published online: November 29, 2023.
慕尼黑路德维希-马克西米利安大学(Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität,LMU)心理学教授 Felix Schönbrodt 讲述了他在德国心理学会(Deutsche Gesellschaft für Psychologie)内部协调开展的一项活动。受 "可重复性危机 "和对高级期刊出版商日益不满的影响,Schönbrodt 与他人合作撰写了三篇以负责任的研究评估为主题的立场文件。其建议是建立一个两阶段的招聘评估系统,第一阶段将使用负责任的衡量标准,重点是开放数据、预注册和可复制性的几个方面,而第二阶段将重点对选定的候选人进行定性(以内容为导向)评估。迄今为止,舍恩布罗德小组的提议已得到 40 多位不同学者的公开反馈。除了在德国心理学会的全国性工作之外,舍恩布罗特还担任了卢塞恩大学开放科学中心的常务董事,来自不同学科的学者在该中心就开放科学的各个方面召开研讨会。他的昵称是 "nicebread"(Schön = nice,Brodt = bread),他还在GitHub上开设了个人博客和项目网页。 访谈于 2023 年 10 月在慕尼黑录制。首次在线发布:2023 年 11 月 29 日。

An online conversation with two representatives of Brill, a publisher that is particularly strong in the Humanities and Social Sciences. A 340-year-old publishing house, Brill still primarily sells books and journals in a traditional manner, i.e. as hardcopies and online fulltexts behind a paywall. Currently, Brill has a total output of around 1,400 academic books per year. Just over 10% of these titles are published in Open Access thanks to authors (or their institutions) paying a Book Processing Charge (BPC). Among its 300+ peer-reviewed journals, approx. 10% are published according to the Diamond Open Access model, meaning that some sort of sponsorship allows Brill to offer its services with no author- or reader-facing charges. In the discussion, Open Research Officer Stephanie Veldman explains the economic mechanisms and strategic thinking behind Brill’s work in the field of open access. Publishing director for History, Social Sciences and Biology Arjan van Dijk highlights the author’s and editor’s perspectives, using the successful Journal of Jesuit Studies (launched in 2013) as a concrete example. Both Veldman and van Dijk see it as an important part of their mission to increase the proportion of books and journals that are published in open access. First published online: June 7, 2023.
与Brill的两位代表的在线对话,Brill是一家在人文和社会科学方面特别强大的出版商。作为一家拥有340年历史的出版社,Brill仍然以传统的方式销售书籍和期刊,即付费墙后的纸质版和在线全文。目前,Brill每年总产量约为1400本学术书籍。由于作者(或他们的机构)支付了图书处理费(BPC),这些书中只有10%以上的书以开放获取方式出版。在其300多份同行评议期刊中,大约有600多份。其中的10%是根据Diamond开放获取模式出版的,这意味着某种形式的赞助允许Brill提供其服务,而无需向作者或读者收费。在讨论中,开放研究官员Stephanie Veldman解释了Brill在开放获取领域工作背后的经济机制和战略思想。历史、社会科学和生物学出版总监Arjan van Dijk强调了作者和编辑的观点,并以2013年出版的《耶稣会研究杂志》(Journal of Jesuit Studies)为例。Veldman和van Dijk都认为增加以开放获取方式出版的图书和期刊的比例是他们使命的重要组成部分。首次在线发布:2023年6月7日。

An online interview with Ashley Farley, program officer of Knowledge and Research Services at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. As of 2023, the Gates Foundation earmarks some 8,000,000,000 US Dollars annually to its various philanthropic goals. Focusing on global health and global development, the Gates Foundation supports a wide range of research and development activities in fields such as child nutrition, family planning, eradication of poverty and diseases, etc. In this podcast, Farley explains why open research lies at the heart of the Gates Foundation’s strategies. The Gates Foundation has been an early adopter and partner of the European Plan S initiative, which from the very start has been very well aligned to its own policies. Gates Foundation grantees are obliged to make all publications stemming from project funding available in open access, and, if possible, to archive their research datasets openly as well. The Gates Open Research Platform (a combination of a preprint-service and a megajournal) is an alternative route for grantees who do not want to publish their articles through traditional publication outlets. Accompanying datasets are stored elsewhere but with links from the platform. In addition, the non-profit organization OA.Works helps the Gates Foundation monitor that requirements are met. Among other things, OA.Works has been instrumental in setting up a Share Your Paper service to help researchers (not just grantees of the Gates Foundation) verify whether a version of their article can be legally uploaded to the Green Open Access repository Zenodo. Farley is also working directly with publishers to make sure that Gold Open Access that has been paid for is provided properly and in line with the contract. The Biden Administration recently announced a Year of Open Science in the USA. Farley sees various agencies, such as NASA, as driving forces behind this declaration. Gradually, a cultural shift is bound to take place, as prejudices towards open sharing of data, peer review reports and even grant applications will be replaced with a culture permeated by more open and transparent ways of doing research, Farley argues. She also argues strongly in favor of the Rights Retention Strategy and sees it as a way of empowering researchers by securing that they have more control of their work.

以下是对比尔和梅林达·盖茨基金会知识与研究服务项目官员阿什利·法利的在线采访。截至2023年,盖茨基金会每年拨出约80亿美元用于各种慈善目标。盖茨基金会关注全球健康和全球发展,在儿童营养、计划生育、消除贫困和疾病等领域支持广泛的研究和发展活动。在本期播客中,法利解释了为什么开放研究是盖茨基金会战略的核心。盖茨基金会是欧洲S计划的早期采用者和合作伙伴,该计划从一开始就与自己的政策非常一致。盖茨基金会的受助人有义务将项目资助的所有出版物开放获取,如果可能的话,也要公开存档他们的研究数据集。盖茨开放研究平台(预印本服务和超级期刊的结合)是那些不想通过传统出版渠道发表文章的受资助者的另一种途径。附带的数据集存储在其他地方,但有来自平台的链接。此外,非营利组织OA。Works帮助盖茨基金会监督需求是否得到满足。在其他方面,OA。Works在建立“分享论文”服务方面发挥了重要作用,帮助研究人员(不仅仅是盖茨基金会的受助人)验证他们的文章的某个版本是否可以合法上传到绿色开放获取知识库Zenodo。Farley还直接与发行商合作,以确保已付费的Gold Open Access内容的提供符合合同要求。拜登政府最近在美国宣布了一个开放科学年。法利认为,美国国家航空航天局(NASA)等多个机构是这一声明背后的推动力量。Farley认为,随着对开放共享数据、同行评议报告甚至拨款申请的偏见将逐渐被一种更开放和透明的研究方式所渗透的文化所取代,一种文化转变必然会发生。她还强烈支持权利保留战略,并认为这是一种授权研究人员的方式,确保他们对自己的工作有更多的控制权。2023年1月31日首次在线发布。

At the heart of the project is support for Diamond Open Access, i.e. free for the reader as well as the author (no publishing charges). Co-lead of DIAMAS, Pierre Mounier explains the importance of lending support to not-for-profit institutional publishing. Besides the diversity offered by such scholar-led, high quality publication outlets, the multilingualism that they represent is key when the dissemination of knowledge and the promotion of citizen science across Europe is taken into account. The Helsinki Initiative on Multilingualism in Scholarly Publishing lends verbal support to linguistically diverse scholarly outputs; the EU-funded DIAMAS Project paves the way for stronger and more sustainable infrastructures facilitating them. Since its inception in September 2022, the project will last for 3 years. An ultimate goal of DIAMAS is to help the providers of publishing services raise the quality and visibility of diamond open access by establishing a Europe-wide capacity center. A sister project, CRAFT-OA, focusing on the purely technical aspects of institutional diamond open access publishing begins in January 2023. The preliminary Diamond OA Journals Study (published March 2021), the first ever global survey of diamond open access journals, serves as foundation for both projects. The recording was made in conjunction with the Munin Conference on Scholarly Publishing in December 2022. First published online January 10, 2023.
在本期节目中,我们将讨论“发展机构开放获取出版模式以促进学术交流”项目,简称:DIAMAS。该项目的核心是对Diamond Open Access的支持,即对读者和作者都是免费的(没有出版费用)。DIAMAS的联合负责人Pierre Mounier解释了向非营利机构出版提供贷款支持的重要性。除了这些由学者领导的高质量出版机构所提供的多样性之外,当考虑到在欧洲传播知识和促进公民科学时,它们所代表的多语言是关键。学术出版多语化赫尔辛基倡议为语言多样化的学术产出提供口头支持;欧盟资助的DIAMAS项目为建设更强大、更可持续的基础设施铺平了道路。自2022年9月启动以来,该项目将持续3年。DIAMAS的最终目标是通过建立一个欧洲范围的能力中心,帮助出版服务提供商提高钻石开放获取的质量和可见性。一个姊妹项目CRAFT-OA将于2023年1月启动,专注于机构钻石开放获取出版的纯技术方面。初步的钻石开放获取期刊研究(2021年3月发表)是有史以来第一次对钻石开放获取期刊的全球调查,是这两个项目的基础。该录音是与2022年12月举行的穆宁学术出版会议一起录制的。2023年1月10日首次在线发布。

The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) was founded by Lars Bjørnshauge in 2003; the current managing director is Joanna Ball. A cornerstone in the global Open Science landscape, DOAJ currently lists more than 18,000 peer-reviewed, strictly open access journals (Gold or Diamond). Dominic Mitchell, who has worked for DOAJ for the last ten years, explains how the indexing process is managed by a combination of volunteers and salaried staff like himself, how they work to exclude predatory journals from the list, and how DOAJ is financed. Furthermore, DOAJ is involved in several collaborative projects promoting high-quality scholarly publishing, including The Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing (4th ed., 2022). Recording made during the 17th Munin Conference on Scholarly Publishing. First published online: December 30, 2022.
