Subject: [open-science] REMINDER: last day for written evidence to be submitted to BIS 'open access inquiry'
To: open-access@lists.okfn.org, open-science <open-science@lists.okfn.org>, open-economics@lists.okfn.org
Dear list,
Just a reminder that today is the final day that one can submit written evidence to the BIS 'open access inquiry'
Further details here: http://science.okfn.org/2013/01/30/yet-another-open-access-inquiry/
Anyone, from anywhere in the world can submit written evidence as long as it addresses the points of the inquiry
The Committee will consider a range of topics including:
The Government's acceptance of the recommendations of the Finch Group Report 'Accessibility, sustainability, excellence: how to expand access to research publications', including its preference for the 'gold' over the 'green' open access model;
Rights of use and re-use in relation to open access research publications, including the implications of Creative Commons 'CC-BY' licences;
The costs of article processing charges (APCs) and the implications for research funding and for the taxpayer; and
The level of 'gold' open access uptake in the rest of the world versus the UK, and the ability of UK higher education institutions to remain competitive.
Written evidence should be sent to the Committee, as an MS Word document, by e-mail to biscommem@parliament.uk.
I am hoping Richard Smith will be submitting some expert evidence http://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/category/richard-smith/ among others.
Ross
