Startschuss für fünf neue Open-Access-Projekte an der TIB

Fünf neue BMBF-finanzierte Open-Access-Projekte starten im September 2023 an der TIB – Leibniz-Informationszentrum Technik und Naturwissenschaften. Die Projekte, die die TIB zum Teil mit Partner:innen durchführt, beschäftigen sich mit unterschiedlichen Aspekten von Open Access. In diesem Blogbeitrag stellen wir die Projekte vor.

Unterstützungsrunde für Open-Access-Zeitschriften in Physik, Mathematik und Informatik

Vom 1. Juni bis zum 1. Juli 2023 läuft die Finanzierungsabfrage, das sogenannte „Pledging“, für sieben Zeitschriften aus Quantenphysik, Mathematik und Informatik. Bibliotheken, Forschungseinrichtungen, Stiftungen, Unternehmen und Einzelpersonen können einen finanziellen Beitrag leisten, sodass die Zeitschriften nachhaltig als Open-Access-Zeitschriften bestehen können – und zwar ohne Publikationskosten von Autor:innen zu verlangen.

Funding Round for Open Access in Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science underway

From 1 June 2023 to 1 July 2023, a funding call for seven journals in quantum physics, mathematics, and computer science is underway. Libraries, research institutions, foundations, companies and individuals can make a financial contribution to ensure that these journals can exist sustainably as open access journals – without author-facing publishing fees.

TIB endorses Action Plan for Diamond Open Access

TIB endorses the Action Plan for Diamond Open Access initiated by several European organizations. In doing so, it is underlining its desire to achieve a large-scale and fair transition to open access. This is necessarily dependent on an open infrastructure. The endorsement of the plan joins many related TIB activities. Action Plan for Diamond Open Access The Action Plan for Diamond Open Access has been initiated by Science Europe, cOAlition S, OPERAS, and the French Agence Nationale de la Recherche. The objective is to promote a sustainable and community-driven Diamond Open Access landscape. To this end, it is proposed to focus on four core objectives: Efficiency, e.g., through harmonization of approaches and standards and through interopeable technical systems. Quality standards, e.g. through harmonization of standards and through development of standards for all core areas of publication services, including development of self-assessment tools Capacity building, e.g. through the development of training materials, tools and guidelines, as well as through the participation of scientists; establishment of a competence center Sustainability, e.g. by protecting title rights, promoting secure governance models, identifying and enforcing transparent and sustainable business models, providing financial support for Diamond services Growing support The support for the Action Plan already goes well beyond Europe and comes, for example, from AmeliCA, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Coalition Publica, and Creative Commons. Numerous individuals also support the appeal. From our direct library environment, for example, ZB MED, SUB Hamburg and SUB Göttingen are among the signatories. They all support the goal of better support
