engYeomans, JoanneColloquium on Open Access (OA) Publishing in Particle Physics, 7-8 December 2005, CERN: minutesInformation Transfer and ManagementCERN-OPEN-2006-003The objective of this Colloquium was to gather practical ideas from all the actors in the particle physics publishing community (scientists, members of funding gencies, publishers ...) for an action plan to make the transition to full open access and low-cost publishing. As a result, the meeting decided to establish a task-force. The task-force was mandated to study and develop sustainable business models for OA publishing for existing and new journals and publishers in particle physics, focused mainly on a sponsoring model. The results should be made available to the Colloquium participants before end of March 2006.2006-01-11http://cds.cern.ch/record/920982http://cds.cern.ch/record/920982oai:cds.cern.ch:920982 engAltarelli, GuidoContinuing CERN action on Open AccessInformation Transfer and ManagementCERN-OPEN-2005-006Open Access (OA) is an idea that would change the publishing landscape to bring benefits to all readers and authors.

Open Access (OA) means: free online access to all peer-reviewed journal articles. Jean-Claude Guedon argues against the efficacy of author self-archiving of peer-reviewed journal articles (the "Green" road to OA). He suggests instead that we should convert to Open Access Publishing (the "Golden" road to OA) by "mixing and matching" Green and Gold as follows: o First, self-archive dissertations (not published, peer-reviewed journal articles). o Second, identify and tag how those dissertations have been evaluated and reviewed. o Third, self-archive unrefereed preprints (not published, peer-reviewed journal articles). o Fourth, develop new mechanisms for evaluating and reviewing those unrefereed preprints, at multiple levels. The result will be OA Publishing (Gold). I argue that rather than yet another 10 years of speculation like this, what is actually needed (and imminent) is for OA self-archiving to be mandated by research funders and institutions so that the self-archiving of published, peer-reviewed journal articles (Green) can be fast-forwarded to 100% OA. 2005-03-08 http://cds.cern.ch/record/826740 http://cds.cern.ch/record/826740 eng Arencibia Jorge, Ricardo Araujo Ruíz, Juan A Torricella-Morales, Raúl G Cuban Science and the Open Access Alternative Information Transfer and Management Science in Cuba has experienced extraordinary development since the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, in spite of the blockade to which Cuba has been subjected by the United States Government, and thanks to the support and cooperation of the countries that were part of the former Socialist Block. However, after the destruction of the Socialist Block, the Cuban economy suffered through a restructuring process that included the reorganization of the traditional systems for spreading scientific information. At that moment, it was necessary to use alternative means to effectively publicise, to the international scientific community, the information generated by Cuban scientists and scholars. This paper briefly reviews this new era, the institutions that led the process of change, and the future projections based on knowledge of the digital environment and the creation of electronic and open access information sources. 2004 http://cds.cern.ch/record/808861 http://cds.cern.ch/record/808861 eng Katkin, K Open Access to Monopoly Cable Platforms Versus Direct Access To Competitive International Telecommunications Satellite Facilities: A Study In Contrasts Computing and Computers cs.CY/0109093 TPRC-2001-079 In 1999, the FCC authorized direct access to INTELSAT, allowing INTELSAT's U.S. customers and competitors to bypass INTELSAT's U.S. retail affiliate (COMSAT), and to take satellite capacity at wholesale prices directly from INTELSAT. This policy was modeled in many respects on the access and unbundling requirements applicable to domestic incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) under the Telecommunications Act of 1996. At the same time, incumbent domestic cable TV system operators have not been required to provide wholesale open access to competitive Internet Service Providers (ISPs) seeking to provide residential broadband Internet service through existing proprietary cable facilities. Yet the policy arguments favoring open access to incumbent domestic cable systems appear to be stronger than those favoring direct access to INTELSAT. For example, it may be fairly debated whether entrenched cable system operators are now positioned to unfairly leverage their dominance in the multichannel video programming distribution (MVPD) market to thwart competition in the broadband ISP market, as some cable open access advocates assert. In contrast, it is clear that no analogous issues of tying were implicated by INTELSAT in 1999, when its position in the international telecommunications market was substantially nondominant and, in any event, it had no new product to tie to its established offerings. Similarly, while it may be debated whether or not a cable plant is a bottleneck facility that gatekeeps broadband Internet for many residential users, it is beyond cavil that INTELSAT in 1999 controlled virtually no such bottleneck facilities. 2001-09-24 http://cds.cern.ch/record/519676 http://cds.cern.ch/record/519676 engTsakonas, GiannisPapadatou, FieroulaOpen Access Through the User's Looking GlassInformation Transfer and Management2005-10-22http://cds.cern.ch/record/934053http://cds.cern.ch/record/934053oai:cds.cern.ch:934053DVD attached to OAI4 engDe Beer, Jennifer AE-LIS (and Open Access) in South AfricaInformation Transfer and Management2005-10-22http://cds.cern.ch/record/934054http://cds.cern.ch/record/934054oai:cds.cern.ch:934054DVD attached to OAI4 engPavelic, DamirOpen Access Mouvement in Croatia Through Experience of E-LISInformation Transfer and Management2005-10-22http://cds.cern.ch/record/934055http://cds.cern.ch/record/934055oai:cds.cern.ch:934055DVD attached to OAI4 engAcademics thrash out open access detailsOther SubjectsPRESSCUT-U-2006-1982005http://cds.cern.ch/record/934396http://cds.cern.ch/record/934396oai:cds.cern.ch:934396 doi:10.1629/1952engBascones-Domingez, MagalyEconomics of Open Access PublishingInformation Transfer and Management2006http://cds.cern.ch/record/93633010.1629/1952http://cds.cern.ch/record/936330oai:cds.cern.ch:936330 engYeomans, JoanneCERN's Open Access E-print Coverage in 2006 : Three Quarters Full and CountingInformation Transfer and ManagementCERN's open access e-print repository, CERN Document Server (CDS), contains open access full-text copies of nearly three quarters of its own recently-authored documents. As a result of retrospective scanning projects, just over half of all documents written since CERN's creation in 1954 are available. Metadata harvesting from a variety of external sources contributes to the identification of CERN-authored documents such that close to 100% are believed to be found. Full-text files are obtained through author submission, retro-scanning and upload from external sources. A growth in the numbers of metadata records and full-text files is demonstrated between 2005 and 2006 and the improvements can be linked to certain projects carried out by the Library staff.

It also provides a complete view with the most relevant papers available in the subscriber's field of interest. With this service, the subscriber will get to know the lastest developments, popular trends and the most important papers. This makes the service not only unique from a technical point of view, but also from a content point of view.

We include contributions from both twist-three quark-gluon and tri-gluon correlation functions. We find that the quark-gluon correlation functions alone generate only a very small asymmetry for open charm production in the kinematic region of current interest at RHIC, so that the observation of any significant single-spin asymmetry would be a clear indication of the presence of tri-gluon correlations inside a polarized proton. We furthermore demonstrate that the tri-gluon contribution could be very different for the production of $D$ and $\bar{D}$ mesons. These features make the single spin asymmetry in open charm production in polarized $pp$ collisions at RHIC an excellent probe of tri-gluon correlation functions. 2008-10-21 http://cds.cern.ch/record/1135449 http://cds.cern.ch/record/1135449 Comments: 10 pages, 7 figures eng Harnad, J Approaches to Open Access in Scientific Publishing Physics in General arXiv:0811.2603 Approaches to scientific journal publishing that provide free access to all readers are challenging the standard subscription-based model. But in domains that have a well-functioning system of publicly accessible preprint repositories like arXiv, Open Access is already effectively available. In physics, such repositories have long coexisted constructively with refereed, subscription based journals. Trying to replace this by a system based on journals whose revenue is derived primarily from fees charged to authors is unlikely to provide a better guarantee of Open Access, and may be in conflict with the maintenance of high quality standards. 2008-11-18 http://cds.cern.ch/record/1140318 physics.soc-ph http://cds.cern.ch/record/1140318 Comments: 5 pages.

The High- Energy Physics (HEP) community has pioneered OA for decades, through its widespread “pre-print culture”. After almost half a century of worldwide dissemination of pre-prints, in paper first and electronically later, OA journals are becoming the natural evolution of scholarly communication in HEP. Among other OA business models, the one based on a sponsoring consortium appears as the most viable option for a transition of the HEP peer-reviewed literature to OA. The Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics (SCOAP3) is proposed as a central body to remunerate publishers for their peer-review service, effectively replacing the “reader-pays” model of traditional subscriptions with an “author-side” funding, without any direct financial burden on individual authors and research groups. Sustainable funding to SCOAP3 would come from libraries, library consortia and HEP funding agencies through a re-direction of funds currently, and traditionally, spent for subscription to HEP journals. This article discusses the SCOAP3 model in details, from its origins in an analysis of the HEP publishing landscape to its current implementation.2007-12-01http://cds.cern.ch/record/116444710.1108/10650750910931896http://cds.cern.ch/record/1164447oai:cds.cern.ch:1164447 eng Habermann, Katharina Habermann, Lutz An Evolutionary Game-Theoretic Approach to Open Access math.OC arXiv:0903.4562 The paper presents an evolutionary game-theoretic approach to open access publishing as an asymmetric game between scientists and publishers.

Some have suggested that this "OA Advantage" may not be causal but just a self-selection bias, because authors preferentially make higher-quality articles OA. To test this we compared self-selective self-archiving with mandatory self-archiving for a sample of 27,197 articles published 2002-2006 in 1,984 journals. The OA Advantage proved just as high for both. Logistic regression showed that the advantage is independent of other correlates of citations (article age; journal impact factor; number of co-authors, references or pages; field; article type; or country) and greatest for the most highly cited articles. The OA Advantage is real, independent and causal, but skewed. Its size is indeed correlated with quality, just as citations themselves are (the top 20% of articles receive about 80% of all citations). The advantage is greater for the more citeable articles, not because of a quality bias from authors self-selecting what to make OA, but because of a quality advantage, from users self-selecting what to use and cite, freed by OA from the constraints of selective accessibility to subscribers only. 2010-01-05 http://cds.cern.ch/record/1231691 cs.DL http://cds.cern.ch/record/1231691 Comments: 30 pages, 15 figures, 8 tables eng Xia, Ping Chandrasekhar, Vikram Andrews, Jeffrey G Open vs Closed Access Femtocells in the Uplink Information Transfer and Management arXiv:1002.2964 Femtocells are assuming an increasingly important role in the coverage and capacity of cellular networks. In contrast to existing cellular systems, femtocells are end-user deployed and controlled, randomly located, and rely on third party backhaul (e.g. DSL or cable modem). Femtocells can be configured to be either open access or closed access. Open access allows an arbitrary nearby cellular user to use the femtocell, whereas closed access restricts the use of the femtocell to users explicitly approved by the owner. Seemingly, the network operator would prefer an open access deployment since this provides an inexpensive way to expand their network capabilities, whereas the femtocell owner would prefer closed access, in order to keep the femtocell's capacity and backhaul to himself. We show mathematically and through simulations that the reality is more complicated for both parties, and that the best approach depends heavily on whether the multiple access scheme is orthogonal (TDMA or OFDMA, per subband) or non-orthogonal (CDMA). In a TDMA/OFDMA network, closed-access is typically preferable at high user densities, whereas in CDMA, open access can provide gains of more than 200% for the home user by reducing the near-far problem experienced by the femtocell. The results of this paper suggest that the interests of the femtocell owner and the network operator are more compatible than typically believed, and that CDMA femtocells sh ould be configured for open access whereas OFDMA or TDMA femtocells should adapt to the cellular user density. 2010-02-17 http://cds.cern.ch/record/1241830 math.IT http://cds.cern.ch/record/1241830 Comments: 21 pages, 8 figures, 2 tables, submitted to IEEE Trans. on Wireless Communications eng Sale, Arthur Couture, Marc Rodrigues, Eloy Carr, Leslie Harnad, Stevan Open Access Mandates and the "Fair Dealing" Button Information Transfer and Management arXiv:1002.3074 We describe the "Fair Dealing Button," a feature designed for authors who have deposited their papers in an Open Access Institutional Repository but have deposited them as "Closed Access" (meaning only the metadata are visible and retrievable, not the full eprint) rather than Open Access. The Button allows individual users to request and authors to provide a single eprint via semi-automated email. The purpose of the Button is to tide over research usage needs during any publisher embargo on Open Access and, more importantly, to make it possible for institutions to adopt the "Immediate-Deposit/Optional-Access" Mandate, without exceptions or opt-outs, instead of a mandate that allows delayed deposit or deposit waivers, depending on publisher permissions or embargoes (or no mandate at all).

Closed access restricts the set to specifically registered users, while open access allows any mobile subscriber to use any femtocell. Which one is preferable depends strongly on the distance between the macrocell base station (MBS) and femtocell. The main results of the paper are lemmas which provide expressions for the SINR distribution for various zones within a cell as a function of this MBS-femto distance. The average sum throughput (or any other SINR-based metric) of home users and cellular users under open and closed access can be readily determined from these expressions. We show that unlike in the uplink, the interests of home and cellular users are in conflict, with home users preferring closed access and cellular users preferring open access. The conflict is most pronounced for femtocells near the cell edge, when there are many cellular users and fewer femtocells. To mitigate this conflict, we propose a middle way which we term shared access in which femtocells allocate an adjustable number of time-slots between home and cellular users such that a specified minimum rate for each can be achieved. The optimal such sharing fraction is derived. Analysis shows that shared access achieves at least the overall throughput of open access while also satisfying rate requirements, while closed access fails for cellular u sers and open access fails for the home user. 2010-09-21 http://cds.cern.ch/record/1293157 http://cds.cern.ch/record/1293157 Comments: 26 pages, 8 figures, Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications engDallmeier-Tiessen, SuenjeDarby, RobertGoerner, BettinaHyppoelae, JenniIgo-Kemenes, PeterKahn, DeborahLambert, SimonLengenfelder, AnjaLeonard, ChrisMele, SalvatorePolydoratou, PanayiotaRoss, DavidRuiz-Perez, SergioSchimmer, RalfSwaisland, Markvan der Stelt, WimFirst results of the SOAP project. Open access publishing in 2010Information Transfer and ManagementarXiv:1010.0506The SOAP (Study of Open Access Publishing) project has compiled data on the present offer for open access publishing in online peer-reviewed journals. Starting from the Directory of Open Access Journals, several sources of data are considered, including inspection of journal web site and direct inquiries within the publishing industry. Several results are derived and discussed, together with their correlations: the number of open access journals and articles; their subject area; the starting date of open access journals; the size and business models of open access publishers; the licensing models; the presence of an impact factor; the uptake of hybrid open access.2010-10-05http://cds.cern.ch/record/1297504http://cds.cern.ch/record/1297504oai:cds.cern.ch:1297504Comments: Submitted to PLoS ONE engDallmeier-Tiessen, SuenjeDarby, RobertGoerner, BettinaHyppoelae, JenniIgo-Kemenes, PeterKahn, DeborahLambert, SimonLengenfelder, AnjaLeonard, ChrisMele, SalvatoreNowicka, MalgorzataPolydoratou, PanayiotaRoss, DavidRuiz-Perez, SergioSchimmer, RalfSwaisland, Markvan der Stelt, WimHighlights from the SOAP project survey. What Scientists Think about Open Access PublishingInformation Transfer and ManagementarXiv:1101.5260The SOAP (Study of Open Access Publishing) project has run a large-scale survey of the attitudes of researchers on, and the experiences with, open access publishing. Around forty thousands answers were collected across disciplines and around the world, showing an overwhelming support for the idea of open access, while highlighting funding and (perceived) quality as the main barriers to publishing in open access journals. This article serves as an introduction to the survey and presents this and other highlights from a preliminary analysis of the survey responses. To allow a maximal re-use of the information collected by this survey, the data are hereby released under a CC0 waiver, so to allow libraries, publishers, funding agencies and academics to further analyse risks and opportunities, drivers and barriers, in the transition to open access publishing.2011-01-28http://cds.cern.ch/record/1325212http://cds.cern.ch/record/1325212oai:cds.cern.ch:1325212 en fr CERN Bulletin Open Access publishing – another important step forward for SCOAP3 BUL-NA-2011-112 2011 http://cds.cern.ch/record/1348746 http://cds.cern.ch/record/1348746 engMele, SalvatoreOpen Access Publishing in High-Energy Physics: the SCOAP(3) InitiativeInformation Transfer and ManagementScholarly communication in High-Energy Physics (HEP) shows traits very similar to Astronomy and Astrophysics: pervasiveness of Open Access to preprints through community-based services; a culture of openness and sharing among its researchers; a compact number of yearly articles published by a relatively small number of journals which are dear to the community. These aspects have led HEP to spearhead an innovative model for the transition of its scholarly publishing to Open Access. The Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics (SCOAP(3)) aims to be a central body to finance peer-review service rather than the purchase of access to information as in the traditional subscription model, with all articles in the discipline eventually available in Open Access. Sustainable funding to SCOAP(3) would come from libraries, library consortia and HEP funding agencies, through a re-direction of funds currently spent for subscriptions to HEP journals. This paper presents the cultural and bibliometric factors at the roots of SCOAP(3) and the current status of this worldwide initiative.2010http://cds.cern.ch/record/1359247http://cds.cern.ch/record/1359247oai:cds.cern.ch:13592476th Library and Information Services in Astronomy, Pune, INDIA, FEB 14-17, 2010 engVoitier, AGolonka, PGonzalez-Berges, MAutomated Coverage Tester for the Oracle Archiver of WinCC OAAccelerators and Storage RingsCERN-ATS-Note-2011-101 TECHA large number of control systems at CERN are built with the commercial SCADA tool WinCC OA (formerly PVSS) [1]. They cover projects in the experiments, accelerators and infrastructure. An important component is the Oracle archiver used for long term storage of process data (events) and alarms. The archived data provide feedback to the operators and experts about how the system was behaving at particular moment in the past. In addition a subset of these data is used for offline physics analysis (conditions data). Large volumes of data are produced by the different facilities at CERN (several Terabytes per year). The consistency of the archived data has to be ensured from writing to reading as well as throughout updates of the control systems. The complexity of the archiving subsystem comes from the multiplicity of data types, required performance and other factors such as operating system, environment variables or versions of the different software components. Therefore an automatic tester has been implemented to systematically execute test scenarios under different conditions. The tests are based on scripts which are automatically generated from templates, therefore they can cover a wide range of software contexts. The tester has been fully written in the same software environment as the targeted SCADA system. The current implementation is able to handle over 300 test cases, both for events and alarms. It has enabled to report issues to the provider of WinCC OA. The template mechanism allows sufficient flexibility to adapt the suite of tests to future needs.

For some proposals, such as XACML, the main motivation is to address real-world requirements, typically by providing a complex policy language with somewhat informal evaluation methods; others try to provide a greater degree of formality (particularly with respect to policy evaluation) but support far fewer features. In short, there are very few proposals that combine a rich set of language features with a well-defined semantics, and even fewer that do this for authorization policies for attribute-based access control in open environments. In this paper, we decompose the problem of policy specification into two distinct sub-languages: the policy target language (PTL) for target specification, which determines when a policy should be evaluated; and the policy composition language (PCL) for building more complex policies from existing ones. We define syntax and semantics for two such languages and demonstrate that they can be both simple and expressive. PTaCL, the language obtained by combining the features of these two sub-languages, supports the specification of a wide range of policies. However, the power of PTaCL means that it is possible to define policies that could produce unexpected results. We provide an analysis of how PTL should be restricted and how policies written in PCL should be evaluated to minimize the likelihood of undesirable results. 2011-11-28 http://cds.cern.ch/record/1402172 Computing and Computers http://cds.cern.ch/record/1402172 Comments: 26 pages, submitted to Principles of Security and Trust (POST) eng Di Maio, Paola Towards a Reference Model for Open Access and Knowledge Sharing, Lessons from Systems Research Information Transfer and Management arXiv:1112.2619 The Open Access Movement has been striving to grant universal unrestricted access to the knowledge and data outputs of publicly funded research. leveraging the real time, virtually cost free publishing opportunities offered by the internet and the web.

We take advantage of this revolutionary opportunity when we make our work "open access": digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. Open access is made possible by the Internet and copyright-holder consent, and many authors, musicians, filmmakers, and other creators who depend on royalties are understandably unwilling to give their consent. But for 350 years, scholars have written peer-reviewed journal articles for impact, not for money, and are free to consent to open access without losing revenue. In this concise introduction, Peter Suber tells us what open access is and isn't, how it benefits authors and readers of research, how we pay for it, how it avoids copyright problems, how it has moved from the periphery to the mainstream, and what its future may hold. Distilling a decade of Suber's influential writing and thinking about open access, this is the indispensable book on the subject for researchers, librarians, administrators, funders, publishers, and policy makers.MIT Press2012http://cds.cern.ch/record/1481666http://cds.cern.ch/record/1481666oai:cds.cern.ch:1481666 eng Odlyzko, Andrew Open Access, library and publisher competition, and the evolution of general commerce Information Transfer and Management arXiv:1302.1105 Discussions of the economics of scholarly communication are usually devoted to Open Access, rising journal prices, publisher profits, and boycotts. That ignores what seems a much more important development in this market. Publishers, through the oft-reviled "Big Deal" packages, are providing much greater and more egalitarian access to the journal literature, an approximation to true Open Access. In the process they are also marginalizing libraries, and obtaining a greater share of the resources going into scholarly communication. This is enabling a continuation of publisher profits as well as of what for decades has been called "unsustainable journal price escalation". It is also inhibiting the spread of Open Access, and potentially leading to an oligopoly of publishers controlling distribution through large-scale licensing. The "Big Deal" practices are worth studying for several general reasons. The degree to which publishers succeed in diminishing the role of libraries may be an indicator of the degree and speed at which universities transform themselves. More importantly, these "Big Deals" appear to point the way to the future of the whole economy, where progress is characterized by declining privacy, increasing price discrimination, increasing opaqueness in pricing, increasing reliance on low-paid or upaid work of others for profits, and business models that depend on customer inertia. 2013-02-06 http://cds.cern.ch/record/1513953 Computing and Computers http://cds.cern.ch/record/1513953 doi:10.1080/13658816.2011.585613 eng Jiang, Bin Editorial: Making GIScience Research More Open Access Information Transfer and Management arXiv:1302.1951 This is the editorial for the special issue on "data-intensive geospatial computing", which I guest edited with the International Journal of Geographical Information Science (Taylor & Francis).

To bring them to greater success it is necessary to standardize further developments. DINI with its publication "Electronic Publishing in Higher Education" laid a foundation for a widespread introduction of general regulations and standards concerning electronic publishing and archiving of scientific documents in institutional repositories. The DINI-Certificate "Document and Publication Repositories" takes this a step further by clearly describing criteria, that will guarantee repositories to be set up and operated according to national standards and international developments. Repositories fulfilling these criteria may be awarded a certificate, testifying to their quality. The DINI certificate may also help their operators to market the institutional repository as a reliable service to support electronic publishing as well as self- archiving at their institution. In parallel to this quality of service activities DINI started to promote a more widespread practice of open access archiving and publishing in Germany by - translating and distributing the SPARC Open Access brochure, - recommending suitable and precise open access policy statements for universities, - recommending standardized usage statistics, - organizing advocacy events, - supporting local initiatives and university libraries in taking on an active role in collecting scientific material from their researchers and teachers - extending the DINI certificate to allow Universities to provide a reliable and attractive self-archiving component to their scientists The talk will show the achievements of the DINI working group on electronic publishing since Peter Schirmbacher’s talk at OAI 3 (<a href="http://agenda.cern.ch/askArchive.php? base=agenda&categ=a035925&id=a035925s8t14/transparencies">http://agenda.cern.ch/askArchive.php? base=agenda&categ=a035925&id=a035925s8t14/transparencies</a>) and discuss the experiences made in Germany with this approach.2005http://cds.cern.ch/record/1552881Eventhttp://cds.cern.ch/record/1552881oai:cds.cern.ch:1552881CERN - 500-1-001 - Main Auditoriumhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=0514 engTerry, RobertKeynote: Open Access - a funder's perspectiveCERN workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication (OAI4)Conferences<!--HTML--> 2005http://cds.cern.ch/record/1552882Eventhttp://cds.cern.ch/record/1552882oai:cds.cern.ch:1552882CERN - 500-1-001 - Main Auditoriumhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=0514 engDe Beer, Jennifer AMaking the innovation case in Open Access scholarly communicationCERN workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication (OAI4)Conferences<!--HTML-->It seems almost unnecessary to have to elaborate additional reasons for the adoption of Open Access scholarly communication (OA sc) as manifested through Open Access journals and self-archiving practices. To those active within the OA arena, the case has been convincingly made, and current arguments merely need to be disseminated beyond the Library and Information Science (LIS) sphere. However, it is my contention that a convincing argument for OA sc needs to be launched from the Science Policy perspective if any government mandated pro-OA policy changes are to be effected. This paper, then, is an attempt at taking the OA discussion beyond the LIS arena and into the realm of Science and Innovation Policy. Using Innovation Theory as its theoretical framework, it is argued that Open Access scholarly communication can only serve to bolster Innovation Systems, be they national, regional, or sectoral. The case of South Africa is taken as an illustrative example, though the case can and will be generalised to beyond the South African science system. Making the case for OA within the context of Innovation is also of strategic import, since government policymakers frequently heed the advice of Science- and Innovation Policy researchers.2005http://cds.cern.ch/record/1552884Eventhttp://cds.cern.ch/record/1552884oai:cds.cern.ch:1552884CERN - 500-1-001 - Main Auditoriumhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=0514 engHubbard, BillOpenDOAR - the Directory of Open Access RepositoriesCERN workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication (OAI4)Conferences<!--HTML-->The last year has seen wide-spread growth in the idea of using open access repositories as a part of a research institution's accepted infrastructure. Policy development from institutions and funding bodies has also supported the growth of the repository network. The next stage of expansion will be in the provision of services and cross-repository facilities and resources. Of course, it is hoped that these will then establish a feed-back loop to encourage repository population and further repository establishment, as the potential of open access to research materials is realised. The growth of repositories has been organic, with a variety of different repositories based in departments, institutions, funding agencies or subject communities, with a range of content, both in type and subject. Existing repositories are expanding their holdings, from eprints to associated research data-sets, or with learning objects and multimedia material. This presentation will look at the development of the Directory of Open Access Repositories, OpenDOAR, and the way we intend to clarify the overall picture of repositories and their holdings. In providing this information, OpenDOAR should act as a bridge between data providers and service providers in analysing and listing repositories and facilitate the interchange needed to establish services. It will look at OpenDOAR's place as one of a number of registers of open access sources and repository based services and the scope of its initial survey of repositories. OpenDOAR is intended to help repository administrators in providing a better service for their users and facilitating repository growth. We will be asking what help we can give to repository administrators and to service providers to facilitate the development of innovative services like search, access, analysis and linking of repository holdings.2005http://cds.cern.ch/record/1552886Eventhttp://cds.cern.ch/record/1552886oai:cds.cern.ch:1552886CERN - 500-1-001 - Main Auditoriumhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=0514 engLyon, LizAdding value to open access research data: the eBank UK ProjectCERN workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication (OAI4)Conferences<!--HTML-->This presentation will briefly examine the changing landscape of e-research and data-intensive science, together with associated trends in scholarly communications.

It has been in operation since January 2014, and covers more than 4’000 articles/year. Originally initiated by CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, and now counting partners representing 41 countries and 3 intergovernmental organizations, SCOAP3 has successfully converted to Open Access all, or part of, 6 HEP journals previously restricted to subscribers. It is also supporting publication of articles in 4 existing Open Access journals. As a “Gold” Open Access initiative, SCOAP3 pays Article Processing Charges (APCs), as publishers’ source of revenue for the publication service. Differentiating itself from other Open Access initiatives, SCOAP3 set APCs through a tendering process, correlating quality and price, at consistent conditions across participating publishers. The APCs determined by the SCOAP3 tendering process are compared with those charged in both Gold Open Access and hybrid markets, the latter referring to the piecemeal conversion to Open Access of individual articles in subscription journals. If the journals’ “Impact Factor” is used as a proxy for quality, the results indicate that the SCOAP3 APCs align with, or slightly improve upon, those of the service-based Gold Open Access journals. The SCOAP3 APCs vastly improve upon the price levels of what appears to be a less-functional hybrid publication market, in general and for the field of Physics in particular. The SCOAP3 tendering process included mechanisms to cap yearly expenditures in any single publishing outlet. By analysing the number of articles published in 2014-2015 (8,725 articles), the average APC effectively paid by SCOAP3 through its first two years is €1,100.2014http://cds.cern.ch/record/173521010.2314/CERN/C26P.W9DThttp://cds.cern.ch/record/1735210oai:cds.cern.ch:1735210 eng Marra, Monica The recent Italian regulations about the open-access availability of publicly-funded research publications, and the documentation landscape in astrophysics cs.DL arXiv:1407.6296 In October 2013 Italy enacted a law containing the first national regulations about the open-access availability of publicly-funded research results (publications).This contribution examines how these new regulations match with the specific situation of that open-access pioneering discipline which is astrophysics. 2014-07-23 http://cds.cern.ch/record/1745321 astro-ph.IM physics.soc-ph http://cds.cern.ch/record/1745321 Comments: To be published in the proceedings of LISA VII Conference, Naples, Italy, 18-20.6.2014 engSEETARAMAN, SavitaVulnerabilities in WINCC OACERN openlab Summer Student Lightning Talks CERN openlab Summer Student programme 20142014http://cds.cern.ch/record/1750930Eventhttp://cds.cern.ch/record/1750930oai:cds.cern.ch:1750930CERN - 31-3-004 - IT Amphitheatrehttps://indico.cern.ch/event/327064/ en fr Jens Vigen Open Access: there is something you can do… BUL-NA-2014-207 2014 http://cds.cern.ch/record/1952170 http://cds.cern.ch/record/1952170 doi:10.17181/CERN.XDL3.FX3JengfreCERN Scientific Information Policy BoardOpen Access Policy for CERN PublicationsInformation Transfer and ManagementCERN-OPEN-2021-009CERN-OPEN-2017-020CERN-OPEN-2014-049CERN authors are expected to publish all their results Gold Open Access.CERN-OPEN-2021-009 supersedes CERN-OPEN-2017-020 (issued on 17 Apr. 2017) and CERN-OPEN-2014-049 (issued on 16 Oct. 2014)2021-05-25http://cds.cern.ch/record/195557410.17181/CERN.XDL3.FX3Jhttp://cds.cern.ch/record/1955574oai:cds.cern.ch:1955574 en fr Open Access Policy for CERN Physics Publications BUL-AN-2014-057 2014 http://cds.cern.ch/record/1955872 http://cds.cern.ch/record/1955872 eng CERN Press Office.

Indeed, they offer direct access to a highly confined electromagnetic field while maintaining tunability of the system and flexibility on the light emitter studied. In this article, we present the first development beyond the single open-access cavity design using a Focused Ion Beam fabrication method. Based on experimental and theoretical investigation, we demonstrate the engineering of the coupling between two open-access microcavities with radius of curvature of 6 {\mu}m. We study the evolution of spectral, spatial and polarisation properties through a transition from isolated to coupled cavities. Normal mode splittings up to 20 meV are observed for total mode volumes around 10 {\lambda}^3 . This work is of importance for future development of photonic circuits for quantum computation, optical meta-materials and lab-on-a-chip sensing. 2015-03-26 http://cds.cern.ch/record/2004714 10.1002/lpor.201500138 http://cds.cern.ch/record/2004714 Comments: 6 pages, 2 pages supplementary materials, 6 figures Comments: 6 pages, 2 pages supplementary materials, 6 figures doi:10.1088/1742-6596/664/3/032027engCalderon Tazon, AliciaColling, DavidHuffman, Michael Adam JamesLassila-Perini, KatriMcCauley, ThomasRao, Achintya MaheshRodriguez Marrero, Ana YaizaSexton-Kennedy, ElizabethOpen access to high-level data and analysis tools in the CMS experiment at the LHCDetectors and Experimental TechniquesCMS-CR-2015-056The CMS experiment, in recognition of its commitment to datapreservation and open access as well as to education and outreach, hasmade its first public release of high-level data up to half of theproton-proton collision data at 7 TeV from 2010 in CMS Analysis ObjectData format.

In the paper we describe the tool that allows for seamless integration of web-based widgets into WinCC Open Architecture, the SCADA system used commonly at CERN to build complex Human-Machine Interfaces. Reuse of widely available widget libraries and pushing the development efforts to a higher abstraction layer based on a scripting language allow for significant reduction in maintenance of the code in multi-platform environments compared to those currently used in C++ visualization plugins. Adequately designed interfaces allow for rapid integration of new web widgets into WinCC OA. At the same time, the mechanisms familiar to HMI developers are preserved, making the use of new widgets 'native'. Perspectives for further integration between the realms of WinCC OA and Web development are also discussed.2014http://cds.cern.ch/record/202629510.1088/1742-6596/513/1/012009http://cds.cern.ch/record/2026295oai:inspirehep.net:1301909 doi:10.1002/asi.23687 eng Teplitskiy, Misha Lu, Grace Duede, Eamon Amplifying the Impact of Open Access: Wikipedia and the Diffusion of Science Information Transfer and Management arXiv:1506.07608 With the rise of Wikipedia as a first-stop source for scientific knowledge, it is important to compare its representation of that knowledge to that of the academic literature. This article approaches such a comparison through academic references made within the worlds 50 largest Wikipedias. Previous studies have raised concerns that Wikipedia editors may simply use the most easily accessible academic sources rather than sources of the highest academic status. We test this claim by identifying the 250 most heavily used journals in each of 26 research fields (4,721 journals, 19.4M articles in total) indexed by the Scopus database, and modeling whether topic, academic status, and accessibility make articles from these journals more or less likely to be referenced on Wikipedia. We find that, controlling for field and impact factor, the odds that an open access journal is referenced on the English Wikipedia are 47% higher compared to closed access journals. Moreover, in most of the worlds Wikipedias a journals high status (impact factor) and accessibility (open access policy) both greatly increase the probability of referencing. Among the implications of this study is that the chief effect of open access policies may be to significantly amplify the diffusion of science, through an intermediary like Wikipedia, to a broad public audience. 2015-06-25 http://cds.cern.ch/record/2029216 10.1002/asi.23687 cs.SI http://cds.cern.ch/record/2029216 Comments: An earlier version of this paper was presented at the Wikipedia Workshop at 9th International Conference on Web and Social Media (ICWSM), Oxford, UK Comments: An earlier version of this paper was presented at the Wikipedia Workshop at 9th International Conference on Web and Social Media (ICWSM), Oxford, UK, Forthcoming in: Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, 2015 eng WinCC OA Config Plugin - Introduction SCADA-MOVIE-2015-001-001 2015 http://cds.cern.ch/record/2040873 http://cds.cern.ch/record/2040873 engMr. GUPTA, ShubhamNon-intrusive User Interaction Monitoring for WinCC OA based Applicationsopenlab summer students' lightning talks 1CERN openlab Summer Student programme 20152015http://cds.cern.ch/record/2046041Eventhttp://cds.cern.ch/record/2046041oai:cds.cern.ch:2046041CERN - 31-3-004 - IT Amphitheatrehttps://indico.cern.ch/event/404728/ eng WinCC OA Eclipse IDE - Code refactoring SCADA-MOVIE-2015-001-005 2015 http://cds.cern.ch/record/2105563 http://cds.cern.ch/record/2105563 eng WinCC OA Eclipse IDE - Code assist and importance of config file SCADA-MOVIE-2015-001-004 2015 http://cds.cern.ch/record/2105562 http://cds.cern.ch/record/2105562 eng WinCC OA Elipse IDE - Create and import project SCADA-MOVIE-2015-001-003 2015 http://cds.cern.ch/record/2105561 http://cds.cern.ch/record/2105561 eng WinCC OA Eclipse IDE - How to install SCADA-MOVIE-2015-001-002 2015 http://cds.cern.ch/record/2105560 http://cds.cern.ch/record/2105560 en fr Tullio Basaglia Open Access e-books come into play BUL-NA-2015-251 2015 http://cds.cern.ch/record/2065709 http://cds.cern.ch/record/2065709 doi:10.1063/1.4940715 eng Potts, C A Melnyk, A Ramp, H Bitarafan, M H Vick, D LeBlanc, L J Davis, J P DeCorby, R G Tunable open-access microcavities for on-chip cQED cond-mat.mes-hall arXiv:1601.03344 We report on the development of on-chip microcavities and show their potential as a platform for cavity quantum electrodynamics experiments. Microcavity arrays were formed by the controlled buckling of SiO2/Ta2O5 Bragg mirrors, and exhibit a reflectance-limited finesse of 3500 and mode volumes as small as 35lambda^3. We show that the cavity resonance can be thermally tuned into alignment with the D2 transition of 87Rb, and outline two methods for providing atom access to the cavity. Owing to their small mode volume and high finesse, these cavities exhibit single-atom cooperativities as high as C1 = 65. A unique feature of the buckled-dome architecture is that the strong-coupling parameter g0/kappa is nearly independent of the cavity size. Furthermore, strong coupling should be achievable with only modest improvements in mirror reflectance, suggesting that these monolithic devices could provide a robust and scalable solution to the engineering of light-matter interfaces. 2016-01-13 http://cds.cern.ch/record/2121233 10.1063/1.4940715 Other Fields of Physics http://cds.cern.ch/record/2121233 Comments: Accepted to APL Comments: Accepted to APL doi:10.1088/1742-6596/664/3/032008engBuncic, PGheata, MSchutz, YOpen access for ALICE analysis based on virtualization technologyComputing and ComputersOpen access is one of the important leverages for long-term data preservation for a HEP experiment. To guarantee the usability of data analysis tools beyond the experiment lifetime it is crucial that third party users from the scientific community have access to the data and associated software. The ALICE Collaboration has developed a layer of lightweight components built on top of virtualization technology to hide the complexity and details of the experiment-specific software. Users can perform basic analysis tasks within CernVM, a lightweight generic virtual machine, paired with an ALICE specific contextualization. Once the virtual machine is launched, a graphical user interface is automatically started without any additional configuration. This interface allows downloading the base ALICE analysis software and running a set of ALICE analysis modules. Currently the available tools include fully documented tutorials for ALICE analysis, such as the measurement of strange particle production or the nuclear modification factor in Pb-Pb collisions. The interface can be easily extended to include an arbitrary number of additional analysis modules. We present the current status of the tools used by ALICE through the CERN open access portal, and the plans for future extensions of this system.2015http://cds.cern.ch/record/213454510.1088/1742-6596/664/3/032008http://cds.cern.ch/record/2134545oai:inspirehep.net:1413810 engFriedman, AlonStatistics for library and information services: a primer for using open source R software for accessibility and visualizationInformation Transfer and ManagementStatistics for Library and Information Services, written for non-statisticians, provides logical, user-friendly, and step-by-step instructions to make statistics more accessible for students and professionals in the field of Information Science.

As a professor of philosophy during the early days of the internet, he realized its power and potential as a medium for scholarship. As he writes now, "it was like an asteroid crash, fundamentally changing the environment, challenging dinosaurs to adapt, and challenging all of us to figure out whether we were dinosaurs." When Suber began putting his writings and course materials online for anyone to use for any purpose, he soon experienced the benefits of that wider exposure. In 2001, he started a newsletter -- the Free Online Scholarship Newsletter, which later became the SPARC Open Access Newsletter -- in which he explored the implications of open access for research and scholarship. This book offers a selection of some of Suber's most significant and influential writings on open access from 2002 to 2010. In these texts, Suber makes the case for open access to research; answers common questions, objections, and misunderstandings; analyzes policy issues; and documents the growth and evolution of open access during its most critical early decade.The MIT Press2016http://cds.cern.ch/record/2157869http://cds.cern.ch/record/2157869oai:cds.cern.ch:2157869 engSmith, Kevin LDickson, Katherine AOpen access and the future of scholarly communicationInformation Transfer and ManagementIt is impossible to imagine the future of academic libraries without an extensive consideration of open access the removal of price and permission barriers from scholarly research online. As textbook and journal subscription prices continue to rise, improvements in technology make online dissemination of scholarship less expensive, and faculty recognize the practical and philosophical appeal of making their work available to wider audiences. As a consequences, libraries have begun to consider a wide variety of open access flavors and business models. These new possibilities have significant impact on both library services and collection policies, and the call for new skills within library staffing. Volume 9 of the series Creating the 21st-Century Academic Library is the first of two addressing the topic of open access in academic libraries and focuses on policy and infrastructure for libraries that wish to provide leadership on their campus in the transition to more open forms of scholarship. Chapters in the book discuss how to make the case for open access on campus, as well as the political and policy implications of libraries that themselves want to become publishing entities. Infrastructure issues are also addressed including metadata standards and research management services. Also considered here is how interlibrary loan, preservation and the library s role in providing textbooks, support the concept of open access. It is hoped that this volume, and the series in general, will be a valuable and exciting addition to the discussions and planning surrounding the future directions, services, and careers in the 21st-century academic library." / The second of two in the series Creating the 21st-Century Academic Library that deals with the topic of open access in academic libraries, focuses on the implementation of open access in academic libraries. Chapters on the legalities and practicalities of open access in academic libraries address the issues associated with copyright, licensing, and intellectual property and include support for courses that require open access distribution of student work. The topic of library services in support of open access is explored, including the library’s role in providing open educational resources, and as an ally and driver of their adoption, for example, by helping defray author fees that are required for open access articles. A detailed look at open access in the context of undergraduate research is provided and considers how librarians can engage undergraduates in conversations about open access. Chapters consider ways to engage undergraduate students in the use, understanding, evaluation, and creation of open access resources. Issues that are of concern to graduate students are also given some attention and central to these are the development of Electronic Thesis and Dissertation (ETD) programs. A chapter examines the library’s role in balancing greater access to graduate student work with the consequences of openness, such as concerns about book contracts and sales, plagiarism, and changes in scholarly research and production. The book concludes with issues surrounding open data and library services in critical data librarianship, including advocacy, preservation, and instruction. It is hoped that this volume, and the series in general, will be a valuable and exciting addition to the discussions and planning surrounding the future directions, services, and careers in the 21st-century academic library.This volume of Creating the 21st-Century Academic Library looks closely at issues of policy and infrastructure for libraries that wish to provide leadership on their campus in the transition to more open forms of scholarship.

In this article, I examine the consequences of an important technological loophole in which publishers can claim to be adhering to the principles of open access by releasing articles in proprietary or "locked" formats that cannot be processed by automated tools, whereby even simple copy and pasting of text is disabled. These restrictions will prevent the development of an important infrastructural element of a modern research enterprise, namely, scientific data science, or the use of data analytic techniques to conduct meta-analyses and investigations into the scientific corpus. I give a brief history of the open access movement, discuss novel journalistic practices, and an overview of data-driven investigation of the scientific corpus. I argue that particularly in an era where the veracity of many research studies has been called into question, scientific data science should be one of the key motivations for open access publishing. The enormous benefits of unrestricted access to the research literature should prompt scholars from all disciplines to reject publishing models whereby articles are released in proprietary formats or are otherwise restricted from being processed by automated tools as part of a data science pipeline. 2016-10-31 http://cds.cern.ch/record/2229482 Information Transfer and Management http://cds.cern.ch/record/2229482 engFrick, ClaudiaWhat is needed for effective open access workflows?Invenio User Group Workshop 2017Invenio User Group Workshops<!--HTML-->Institutions and funders are pushing forward open access with ever new guidelines and policies.

The report gives detailed information on what they think of the cost of academic journal subscriptions, and how they understand the meaning of the term “open access.” The study also gives highly detailed data on what kind of policies the research university elite support or might support in the area of open access, including policies such as restricting purchases of very high-priced journals, paying publication fees for open access publications, mandating deposit of university scholarship into digital repositories, and developing open access educational materials from university resources. Just a few of the report’s many findings are that: • The lowest percentage of those interviewed considering the high cost of journals a big problem was in the United States, where only 11.56% of higher education leadership had this opinion; the highest share, in Canada, 27.45% had this view. • More than 40% of administrators from public universities in the sample supported the idea of using university funds to develop open access textbooks from materials developed or owned by the university or its scholars. • Support for mandatory deposit requirements for scholarly output into university digital repositories was highest among the universities ranked in the top 41 worldwide. Data in the report is broken out by country, university ranking, work title, field of work responsibility, level of compensations, age, gender and other variables.Primary Research Group2017http://cds.cern.ch/record/2271888http://cds.cern.ch/record/2271888oai:cds.cern.ch:2271888 engBeasley, GeraldOpen Access in CanadaLibrary Science Talk: "Open Access in Canada" - Gerald Beasley, University of Alberta Libraries, CanadaLibrary events2017http://cds.cern.ch/record/2271085Eventhttp://cds.cern.ch/record/2271085oai:cds.cern.ch:2271085CERN - Main Auditorium (Room 500)https://indico.cern.ch/event/639219/ eng WinCC OA Eclipse IDE - Doxygen documentation SCADA-MOVIE-2015-001-006 2015 http://cds.cern.ch/record/2275046 http://cds.cern.ch/record/2275046 engPuri, UrishitaSimplified frontend for data generation and testing purposes in WinCC OA NextGen Archiver projectCERN openlab summer students' lightning talks 1CERN openlab Summer Student programme 20172017http://cds.cern.ch/record/2280011Eventhttp://cds.cern.ch/record/2280011oai:cds.cern.ch:2280011CERN - 31-3-004 - IT Amphitheatrehttps://indico.cern.ch/event/635481/ engPrimary Research GroupThe survey of higher education faculty: use of digital repositories and views on Open AccessXXPrimary Research Group2010http://cds.cern.ch/record/2283705http://cds.cern.ch/record/2283705oai:cds.cern.ch:2283705 engPrimary Research GroupSurvey of academic library efforts to enhance faculty cooperation with open accessInformation Transfer and ManagementPrimary Research Group2015http://cds.cern.ch/record/2295617http://cds.cern.ch/record/2295617oai:cds.cern.ch:2295617 doi:10.1017/CBO9781316161012engEve, Martin PaulOpen access and the humanities: contexts, controversies and the futureInformation Transfer and ManagementIf you work in a university, you are almost certain to have heard the term 'open access' in the past couple of years. You may also have heard either that it is the utopian answer to all the problems of research dissemination or perhaps that it marks the beginning of an apocalyptic new era of 'pay-to-say' publishing. In this book, Martin Paul Eve sets out the histories, contexts and controversies for open access, specifically in the humanities. Broaching practical elements alongside economic histories, open licensing, monographs and funder policies, this book is a must-read for both those new to ideas about open-access scholarly communications and those with an already keen interest in the latest developments for the humanities.Cambridge University Press2014http://cds.cern.ch/record/230479510.1017/CBO9781316161012http://cds.cern.ch/record/2304795oai:cds.cern.ch:2304795 doi:10.3390/publications6020015engKohls, AlexanderMele, SalvatoreConverting the Literature of a Scientific Field to Open Access through Global Collaboration: The Experience of SCOAP3 in Particle PhysicsInformation Transfer and ManagementGigantic particle accelerators, incredibly complex detectors, an antimatter factory and the discovery of the Higgs boson—this is part of what makes CERN famous. Only a few know that CERN also hosts the world largest Open Access initiative: SCOAP3. The Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics started operation in 2014 and has since supported the publication of 20,000 Open Access articles in the field of particle physics, at no direct cost, nor burden, for individual authors worldwide. SCOAP3 is made possible by a 3000-institute strong partnership, where libraries re-direct funds previously used for subscriptions to ‘flip’ articles to ‘Gold Open Access’. With its recent expansion, the initiative now covers about 90% of the journal literature of the field. This article describes the economic principles of SCOAP3, the collaborative approach of the partnership, and finally summarizes financial results after four years of successful operation.2018http://cds.cern.ch/record/231229910.3390/publications6020015http://cds.cern.ch/record/2312299oai:inspirehep.net:1666542 engShah, Rishi DilpeshkumarBenchmarking Kudu and Oracle in typical WinCC OA historical data retrieval use casesCERN openlab summer students' lightning talks 1CERN openlab Summer Student programme 20182018http://cds.cern.ch/record/2634203Eventhttp://cds.cern.ch/record/2634203oai:cds.cern.ch:2634203CERN - 31-3-004 - IT Amphitheatrehttps://indico.cern.ch/event/727274/ doi:10.3390/futurephys1010001engSarkisyan-Grinbaum, Edward KIntroduction to a New Open Access Journal by MDPI: Future PhysicsPhysics in General2018http://cds.cern.ch/record/264537710.3390/futurephys1010001http://cds.cern.ch/record/2645377oai:cds.cern.ch:2645377 Proposal to negotiate an extension of the contracts for the provision of open access publication services for SCOAP3Finance Committee - Three-Hundred-and-Sixty-Sixth MeetingCERN/FC/6279/RA2018http://cds.cern.ch/record/2652904http://cds.cern.ch/record/2652904oai:cds.cern.ch:2652904CERN, Geneva, Switzerland12-12-2018 engSchwartz, MichaelMachulak, M PSecuring the perimeter: deploying identity and access management with free open source softwareComputing and ComputersApress2018http://cds.cern.ch/record/2666042http://cds.cern.ch/record/2666042oai:cds.cern.ch:2666042 engEger, ThomasScheufen, MarcThe economics of open access: on the future of academic publishingCommerce, Economics, Social ScienceThe increasing shift towards digital publishing has provoked much debate concerning the issues surrounding ‘Open Access’ (OA), including its economic implications. This timely book considers how the future of academic publishing might look in a purely digital environment and utilizes unique empirical data in order to analyze the experiences of researchers with, as well as attitudes towards, OA publishing.Presenting findings from a novel, in-depth survey with more than 10,000 respondents from 25 countries, this book shows that the culture of scientific research differs considerably between disciplines and countries. These differences significantly determine the role of both ‘gold’ and ‘green’ forms of OA and foster both opportunity and risk. Discussing their findings in the light of recent policy attempts to foster OA, Thomas Eger and Marc Scheufen reveal considerable shortcomings and lack of knowledge on fundamental features of the academic publishing market and conclude by highlighting a policy agenda for its future development.Well-timed and far-reaching, this book will particularly appeal to students and scholars interested in the economic analysis of copyright law. Academic librarians and research sponsors will also benefit from the insights offered.Edward Elgar2018http://cds.cern.ch/record/2665180http://cds.cern.ch/record/2665180oai:cds.cern.ch:2665180 engChan, LeslieOkune, AngelaHillyer, RebeccaAlbornoz, DenissePosada, AlejandroContextualizing openness: situating Open ScienceInformation Transfer and ManagementAn important part of identifying the structural,technical, policy and cultural contexts for Open Sciencein the Global South is recognizing the plurality anddiversity in the framing and meanings of “openness.” This volume brings together contributions from thetwelve projects that form the Open and CollaborativeScience in Development Network (OCSDN), andis organized along four themes: Defining Open Sciencein Development, Governing Open Science, NegotiatingOpen Science, and Expanding Open Science for SocialTransformation. The collective goal of this volume is to identifyexamples and reflections that illustrate howopportunities and challenges posed by openness varyacross regions, and to identify key differences betweenactors, institutions, infrastructure and governanceof knowledgebased resources in diverse settings.The volume will contribute to and expand upon theliterature on “openness,” which has largely been writtenfrom the standpoint of the Global North.

ALICE is one of the four major experiments dislocated along the LHC and its function is to study heavy-ion physics by analizing the products of the collision of heavy ions that impact against each other at velocities close to the speed of light. The WinCC OA software gives an efficient solution to the problem of managing, visualizing and controlling such amount of data produced by the experiment, improving and facilitating the daily activity of the ALICE LHC IF Project.

Now, along with many other research institutes, CERN has been disqualified from this educational programme and faces a 20 fold increase in license costs. CERN’s current Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure, dating from 2008, comprises multiple Microsoft services from the web Single-Sign-On to the Accounts Database. Replacing these core components is an opportunity to rebuild the CERN infrastructure using the latest technologies and concepts and to respond to evolving requirements of the community. It is also the appropriate moment to consider the alignment of CERN’s and the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid’s approaches to identity management, to create a more consistent environment for operators, developers and users. 2019 saw the launch of an Alpha version of CERN’s next generation Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure, focusing on free and open source products and responding to the limitations experienced by the current system.

There is now a potential for more rapid and impactful change, as new collaborative OA publishing models have taken shape. Cooperative publishing arrangements represent a viable path forward for society publishers to transition to OA as the default standard for disseminating research. The traditional article processing charge OA model has introduced sometimes unnavigable financial roadblocks, but cooperative arrangements premised on collective action principles can help to secure long-term stability and prevent the risk of free riding. Investment in cooperative arrangements does not require that cash-strapped libraries discover a new influx of money as their collection budgets continue to shrink, but rather that they purposefully redirect traditional subscription funds toward publishing support. These cooperative arrangements will require a two-way demonstration of trust: On one hand, libraries working together to provide assurances of sustained financial support, and on the other, societies’ willingness to experiment with discarding subscriptions. Organizations such as Society Publishers Coalition and Transitioning Society Publications to Open Access are committed to education about and further development of scalable and cooperative OA publishing models.2021http://cds.cern.ch/record/280768610.1091/mbc.e20-03-0178http://cds.cern.ch/record/2807686oai:cds.cern.ch:2807686 2021http://cds.cern.ch/record/2823414http://cds.cern.ch/record/2823414oai:cds.cern.ch:2823414 engO'Neil, RyunosukeThe NTuple Wizard An NTuple production service for accessing LHCb Open DataPoster-2022-1075Making the large datasets collected at the LHC accessible to the public is a considerable challenge given the complexity and volume of data. Yet to harness the full scientific potential of the facility, it is essential to enable meaningful access to the data by the broadest physics community possible. Here we present a tool, the LHCb NTuple Wizard, which leverages the existing computing infrastructure available to the LHCb collaboration in order to enable third-party users to request derived data samples in the same format used in LHCb physics analysis. An intuitive web interface allows for the discovery of accessible datasets and guides the user through the process of specifying a request for producing NTuples: an ordered set of particle or decay candidates cataloging measured quantities chosen by the user. Issues of computer security and access control arising from offering this service are addressed within its design, while still offering datasets suitable for scientific research through the CERN Open Data Portal.2014-07-08http://cds.cern.ch/record/2815814http://cds.cern.ch/record/2815814oai:cds.cern.ch:2815814r.oneil@cern.ch freBoillot, JHenny, LMaury, SCompte rendu des reunions OAS 72 et 73 (28/1 et 8/2/82)Accelerators and Storage RingsCERN-PS-OP-Min-82-71982-02-02http://cds.cern.ch/record/2830962http://cds.cern.ch/record/2830962oai:cds.cern.ch:2830962 freBouthéon, ΜTentative pour l'evaluation du prochain transfert dans le nouveau systeme de controle PS : "la deuxième tranche": par les membres OASAccelerators and Storage RingsCERN-PS-OP-Note-79-101979-02-14http://cds.cern.ch/record/2830193http://cds.cern.ch/record/2830193oai:cds.cern.ch:2830193 freBoillot, JCyvoct, Gdi Maio, G Daems1 FWildner, B Frammery1 EN$_{2}$OAs 17: Compte-rendu de la réunion du 30 juin 1993Accelerators and Storage RingsCERN-PS-OP-Note-93-56-Min1993-07-01http://cds.cern.ch/record/2829672http://cds.cern.ch/record/2829672oai:cds.cern.ch:2829672 freOAS 32 (reunion du 14 juillet 78)Accelerators and Storage RingsCERN-PS-OP-Min-78-201978-07-19http://cds.cern.ch/record/2829469http://cds.cern.ch/record/2829469oai:cds.cern.ch:2829469 freBouthéon, MQuelques enseignements apres le minirun CT: Par les membres OASAccelerators and Storage RingsCERN-PS-OP-Note-78-161978-05-10http://cds.cern.ch/record/2829010http://cds.cern.ch/record/2829010oai:cds.cern.ch:2829010 Proposal for the award of a contract, without competitive tendering, for the provision of subscriptions to IOP PUBLISHING journals and open access publishing in such journalsFinance Committee - Three-Hundred-and-Eighty-Fourth MeetingCERN/FC/6667/RA2023http://cds.cern.ch/record/2854746http://cds.cern.ch/record/2854746oai:cds.cern.ch:2854746CERN, Geneva, Switzerland22-03-2023 engKulaga, RafalKveton, AntoninNextGen Archiver for WinCC OA-based SCADA systems at CERN2023 CERN openlab Technical WorkshopWorkshops and Training2023http://cds.cern.ch/record/2854632Eventhttp://cds.cern.ch/record/2854632oai:cds.cern.ch:2854632CERN - 503/1-001 - Council Chamberhttps://indico.cern.ch/event/1225408/ engMulder, P BOn the silicon diodes, types OA 200 and OA 202Accelerators and Storage RingsCERN-PS-RF-Note-201958http://cds.cern.ch/record/2854055http://cds.cern.ch/record/2854055oai:cds.cern.ch:2854055 doi:10.1007/s41781-023-00099-5engAidala, Christine A.Burr, ChristopherCattaneo, MarcoFitzgerald, Dillon S.Morris, AdamNeubert, SebastianTropmann, DonijorNtuple Wizard: an application to access large-scale open data from LHCbhep-phParticle Physics - Phenomenologyhep-exParticle Physics - ExperimentarXiv:2302.14235Making the large data sets collected at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accessible to the world is a considerable challenge because of both the complexity and the volume of data.

SCOAP3 is one of the most successful global partnerships and funds for Open Access and has been benchmarked by other Open Access initiatives. The Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) joined as the first Asian partner in 2011, and has supported its shared vision and contributed its financial commitment since the beginning of SCOAP3. SCOAP3-Korea is the first bottom-up collaboration for local libraries to re-direct funds previously used for subscriptions to Open Access publishing. This paper explores the roles and responsibilities of KISTI in the Open Access quest. It describes the commitment to SCOAP3 in South Korea, including how the collaboration model for SCOAP3-Korea differs from the global model. This paper also discusses the impact of SCOAP3-Korea by analyzing publications affiliated by Korean authors in SCOAP3 journals for the last six years (2014- 2019). We have integrated the national R&D; project and research outcome data from NTIS (National Science and Technology Information Service) to investigate the research articles benefited by SCOAP3 and research publications in non-SCOAP3 journals. The positive impact of SCOAP3 in increasing research publication in the discipline was revealed compared to non-SCOAP3 journals. In addition, the financial benefit of SCOAP3-Korea has been proven. With regard to the investment for readers, 137,094 USD was saved during the SCOAP3 Phase 1 and 2, while $748,923 USD was saved with regard to publication fees. We discussed the lessons from SCOAP3-Korea for commitment to a larger-scale Open Access transition.2022http://cds.cern.ch/record/285954610.1633/JISTaP.2022.10.S.5http://cds.cern.ch/record/2859546oai:cds.cern.ch:2859546 Proposal for the award of a contract, without competitive tendering, for the provision of subscriptions to the IEEE Electronic Library and open access publishing in IEEE journalsFinance Committee - Three-Hundred-and-Eighty-Ninth MeetingCERN/FC/6758/RA2023http://cds.cern.ch/record/2888182http://cds.cern.ch/record/2888182oai:cds.cern.ch:2888182CERN, Geneva, Switzerland13-12-2023 Proposal for the award of a contract, without competitive tendering, for the provision of subscriptions to, and open access publishing in, APS journalsFinance Committee - Three-Hundred-and-Eighty-Ninth MeetingCERN/FC/6757/RA2023http://cds.cern.ch/record/2888181http://cds.cern.ch/record/2888181oai:cds.cern.ch:2888181CERN, Geneva, Switzerland13-12-2023 Proposal to negotiate an extension of the contracts for the provision of open access publication services for SCOAP3Finance Committee - Three-Hundred-and-Ninetieth MeetingCERN/FC/6806/RA2024http://cds.cern.ch/record/2896241http://cds.cern.ch/record/2896241oai:cds.cern.ch:2896241CERN, Geneva, Switzerland20-03-2024 engKveton, AntoninNext Generation Archiver for WinCC OA2024 CERN openlab Technical WorkshopWorkshops and Training2024http://cds.cern.ch/record/2894151Eventhttp://cds.cern.ch/record/2894151oai:cds.cern.ch:2894151CERN - 81/R-003C - Science Gateway Auditorium Chttps://indico.cern.ch/event/1356148/ Proposal for the negotiation of a contract, without competitive tendering, for the provision of subscriptions to and open access publishing in ELSEVIER journalsFinance Committee - Three-Hundred-and-Ninety-Second MeetingCERN/FC/6827/RA2024http://cds.cern.ch/record/2908168http://cds.cern.ch/record/2908168oai:cds.cern.ch:2908168CERN, Geneva, Switzerland19-06-2024 engKanellos, NikolaosMoschovakos, ParisSchlenker, StefanWinCC OA project limit studiesComputing and ComputersCERN-EP-Note-2024-002In preparation of Phase-2 upgrade of ATLAS experiment, for the high luminosity era, the subsystems are required to develop the Detecror Control System (DCS) based on their unique needs.

Understanding how large a WinCC OA project can be, without compromising performance is critical for ensuring the stability and efficiency of the DCS. The current internal note presents studies conducted on WinCC OA projects in order to assess the limits of the servers that are being used by ATLAS experiment.

A key consideration for this upgrade is the size of WinCC OA projects in terms of various parameters. Understanding how large a WinCC OA project can be, without compromising performance, is critical for ensuring the stability and efficiency of the DCS.This work presents a series of studies conducted on WinCC OA 3.19 projects in order to assess the limits based on the servers that are being used within the ATLAS experiment. The findings provide practical insights into the factors that influence system scalability, such as the number of datapoint elements and the distribution across projects. These results aim to support detector groups in planning and optimizing their DCS architectures, helping them decide on the appropriate number and size of WinCC OA projects based on their future operational requirements.2025http://cds.cern.ch/record/295271610.18429/JACoW-ICALEPCS2025-TUPD039http://cds.cern.ch/record/2952716oai:cds.cern.ch:2952716
