Prorector for research and development at UiT The Arctic University of Norway informs about the institution's new Open Access Policy, in which Rights Retention takes a prominent place. All authors employed by UiT retain the rights to their peer-reviewed manuscripts, which can now be uploaded and be made available without any embargo period in the institutional repository, Munin, regardless of the policies of the publisher. In case an individual author refuses, (s)he is free to opt out, but no publisher shall have the right to force her/him to not make a manuscript publicly available in green open access through the institution's open repository. The original Norwegian policy document ("Prinsipper og retningslinjer for åpen tilgang til vitenskapelige publikasjoner ved UiT") is available through the website uit.no/publisering; an English translation will follow soon at en.uit.no/publishing.First published online: January 12, 2021

Dieser Beitrag fasst die Ergebnisse der 2. OANA-Veranstaltung am 21.01.2015 im Palais Harrach in Wien zusammen. Das „Open Access Network Austria“ (OANA) ist eine „joint activity“ unter dem organisatorischen Dach des Fonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung (FWF) und der Österreichischen Universitätenkonferenz (UNIKO) mit dem Ziel Open Access Aktivitäten in der österreichischen Forschungslandschaft zu koordinieren. Nach einer ersten OANA-Informationsveranstaltung im November 2013 wurden fünf Arbeitsgruppen zu folgenden Themen gebildet: Open Access Policy, Finanzierung von Open Access, Rechtliche und politische Rahmenbedingungen, Publikationsmodelle und Einbindung von WissenschafterInnen. Im Rahmen der zweiten Informationsveranstaltung wurden die Ergebnisse bzw. Fortschritte der fünf Arbeitsgruppen präsentiert. Mit der Weiterführung von OANA sollen zukünftig einige der genannten Bereiche vertieft sowie um neue Themenfelder ergänzt werden.

According to the Registry of Open Access Repository Mandates and Policies (ROARMAP) only 8 research institutions from the Republic of Moldova (12%) approved an Open Access Policy (OAP). All these institutions are universities and none is a research institute or research funder, although research and development activities in the Republic of Moldova are funded basically from the state budget. The paper contains analysis of the situation regarding Open Access Institutional Policies in the Republic of Moldova. Results of a study regarding the attitude of Moldovan academia to open access to research outputs and identified problems on this issue are presented in this work. Emphasis is given to tools and information systems like Institutional Repositories (IRs) that promote open access for research outputs. The paper reveals the barriers for adoption and / or implementation of an open access policy in a research organization and provides ways for their overcoming.

The director of libraries conceived of Yeshiva University’s institutional repository (IR) in 2018 in part as a cost-effective alternative to Digital Measures, a scholarly productivity tracking program used to determine faculty eligibility for tenure. It was mandated in Yeshiva University’s first Strategic Plan 2016-2010, under Strategic Imperative 2: Advance Faculty Development and Excellence in Teaching and Research. The IR would be a secure, prestigious, university-sanctioned platform for showcasing, documenting, and sharing intellectual output across the globe. It was important that most of the work would be open access, with accompanying Creative Commons Non-Commercial No-Derivatives licenses. In addition to faculty, undergraduate and graduate students would be given a platform to self-archive their intellectual output. Both faculty and students would have the option to opt-out from making their work public, or at least limiting the visibility to the university public only.
