Open Education in European Libraries of Higher Education : report (October 2022)

Le rapport de Sparc Europe présente les résultats de leur troisième enquête annuelle sur l’open éducation (OE) et ses ressources dans les bibliothèques universitaires européennes. Il explore comment ces dernières tentent de mettre en place les recommandations de 2019 de l’ONU sur les open educational ressources (OER)

Open Education Strategy 2024-2026

Sur la base de l’agenda Open Access et Open Science, les bibliothèques européennes de l’enseignement supérieur sont des partenaires clés, actifs et de confiance dans la réalisation de l’éducation ouverte (OE) en rendant éducatif des ressources, des services et des pratiques accessibles, ouverts et réutilisables qui en font une pratique courante. Notre mission est de soutenir les décideurs politiques, bibliothécaires, ambassadeurs et les facilitateurs de l’OE pour aider à mettre en œuvre la Recommandation de l’UNESCO sur les OER à travers une approche pragmatique

The role of repositories in the future of the journal

The UK Working Group on Expanding Access to Published Research Findings, chaired by Dame Janet Finch, report, “Accessibility, sustainability, excellence: how to expand access to research publications,” helped to crystallize a long simmering debate within the open access (OA) community: should the focus for OA advocates be “green” open access – that is, the use of repositories to make research published through traditional subscription-based venues openly available – or should it be ‘gold’ open access – that is, through publication within venues that are themselves open access? This chapter argues that that this has never truly been an either/or proposition, and that this debate often ignores or minimizes the wide variety of roles – direct and indirect – that repositories play within the larger scholarly publishing ecosystem. Research data, funder and institutional mandates for open access to published research via repositories, and the growing role of library as publisher, are all evidence that the repository – whether institutional or disciplinary or format driven – will continue to play a role within the larger scholarly publishing environment.Ope

Measuring the Impact of Gold and Green Open Access

Using data from Web of Science, this research investigates how physical science researchers funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research complied with its open access policy, and compares the citation counts of articles published through gold and green models. It was found that, for articles published between 2008 and 2015, 9% were available through gold open access routes and 13% were available through green routes; most were not openly accessible. Citation rates were comparable for green open access and non-open access articles, but citation rates for gold open access articles were lower. After controlling for publication year, citation rates of gold, green, and non-open access articles were comparable. Among gold open access articles, citation rates were highest for open access journals with article processing charges, but after controlling for publication year, articles published in hybrid journals, followed by those in open access journals with article processing charges, achieved the highest citation rates. Articles published in free open access journals had the lowest citation rates. The results suggest that green open access is the most economical approach to comply with open access policies, and that it provides researchers with at least as much research impact as gold open access
