Citation preview
The exchange between open access and open educational resources:
What can we learn?
Timothy Vollmer 3 March 2014
(1) Content
OA OER
Takeaway: OA articles
feeding OER
(2) Policy
OER OA
What’s important?
4Rs
ReuseRedistributeRevise Remix
Astroturfing? Sure.
Policy wins with these
reuse rights?Yes.
Publicly funded resources are
openly licensed resources.
● clarify legal right to reuse!● enable customization, remix,
translation● $$$ savings● creators retain copyright● entrepreneurial use● compatibility with other OER● standardization● maximize potential impact of
funds
What’s important?
● OA journals are always in a position to require open licenses...CC BY is recommended;
● Policy makers in a position to direct deposits under open licenses, preferably CC BY;
● Strategy! ○ Public access (free) better than toll access. ○ Open access (open licensing) is better than
simply public access. ○ CC BY or equivalent is better than [more]
restrictive open licenses.
10 year recommendations for licensing and reuse:
We’ve got great OA publishers
supporting BOAI
Where are the public policies
supporting BOAI?
NIH: no
White House: no
FASTR: no*
Omnibus: no
RCUK: a mess
Why?
● clarify legal right to reuse!● enable customization, remix,
translation● $$$ savings● creators retain copyright● entrepreneurial use● compatibility with other OER● standardization● maximize potential impact of
funds
Problems are similar
Benefits are clear
What is needed?
(1)It’s 42.16km,
not 100m.
● Public access (free) better than toll access.
● Open access (open licensing) is better than public access.
● CC BY or equivalent is better than more restrictive open licenses.
● OA Publishers show the way!● Keep an eye on OER policy
(2)#BOAI10
redux
Make connection between reuse rights and progress
● benefits to research and researchers
● how lack of OA impedes research
● increases the return on their investment in research
● amplifies the social and educational value of research
● costs can be recovered without (much) additional investment
● consistent with copyright law everywhere in the world
● consistent with the highest standards of quality
(3)The right to read is the
right to mine.
Wanted: policies to enable
“computational analysis using state-of-the-art technologies”
Great! Science is global. Let’s break down barriers to sharing and
collaboration by standardizing around open formats and
licenses.
TDM and licensing:
be careful what you wish for...
Michael Carroll in PLOS: “...the license applies only to uses covered by copyright, and copyright does not regulate text mining - at least in the United States.”
