2 likes1,721 views
The document discusses the relationship between open access (OA) and open educational resources (OER), emphasizing the importance of clear legal rights for reuse and standardized open licenses, particularly CC BY. It highlights the benefits of open access publishing for research and education while pointing out shortcomings in current public policies supporting these initiatives. Recommendations include enhancing licensing practices, enabling customizable resources, and advocating for policies to enhance shareability and collaboration in research.
![10 year recommendations for
licensing and reuse:
● 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.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/sparc-20kc-20meeting-140303111329-phpapp02/85/The-exchange-between-open-access-and-open-educational-resources-What-can-we-learn-28-320.jpg)

- 2. (1) Content
- 3. OA OER
- 9. (2) Policy
- 10. OER OA
- 13. 4Rs
- 17. Policy wins with these reuse rights? Yes.
- 23. Publicly funded resources are openly licensed resources.
- 24. ● 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

- 30. We’ve got great OA publishers supporting BOAI
- 34. Where are the public policies supporting BOAI?
- 35. NIH: no
- 36. White House: no
- 37. FASTR: no*
- 38. Omnibus: no
- 39. RCUK: a mess
- 40. Why?
- 41. ● 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
- 48. What is needed?
- 50. ● 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
- 52. 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
- 53. (3) The right to read is the right to mine.
- 54. Wanted: policies to enable “computational analysis using state-of-the-art technologies”
- 55. Great! Science is global. Let’s break down barriers to sharing and collaboration by standardizing around open formats and licenses.
- 56. TDM and licensing: be careful what you wish for...
- 57. 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.” http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info:doi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.1001210
