Open Access zu publizieren, ist noch nicht selbstverständlich für WissenschaftlerInnen in den außeruniversitären Forschungsgemeinschaften. Neue Publikationsmöglichkeiten erfordern neue, prozessbegleitende Services. Der Aufbau eines Open Access Kompetenzzentrums in der Bibliothek ist ein bereits erfolgreicher Weg, die WissenschaftlerInnen umfassend zu informieren und zu unterstützen. Welche Leistungen erbringt das Kompetenzzentrum und wie erwirbt es die notwendige Kompetenz? Im Fallbeispiel 2 soll dargestellt werden, welche administrativen Bereiche das Thema Open Access tangiert, wie diese Bereiche zusammenarbeiten und wie sich dieses Netz für seine Aufgaben qualifiziert.

In this study, based on the basic theory model ¢wGordon-Schaefer model is used to discuss the equilibrium levels for yellowfin tuna in the Western and Central Pacific of open access (OA) and present value maximization (MPV). And then to compare the catches and the stocks on the two model¡¦s equilibrium value, the result shows the management of yellowfin tuna in the Western and Central Pacific tend to MPV model, the regional fisheries organization (RFMO) to detect the implementation of the measures (MCS) is significant; in addition, use sensitivity analysis and then to understand the changes on the stocks and the effort quantities effected by varying different parameters. In OA, if you want to get effectively maintain the sustainability of the stocks, should be considered to reduce the price and the catch coefficient, increase the cost per unit of effort to control; in MPV, we can understand that the catch coefficient and the intrinsic growth rate have a bigger influence in the effort quantities; Finally, by simulating the catches and the stocks, that if it can continue to effectively manage fishery by MCS in the future, the catches and the stocks of yellowfin tuna will tend to balance the value of MPV, and so on, not only resources effective use of maximum profit and maintaining our fleet of ocean-going business interests, but also resources can be sustainable.

This study used the Gordon-Schaefer model which was extended to Open Access (OA) model and Present Value Maximization (MPV) model to discuss the equilibrium levels for bigeye tuna in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean by purse seine fishery data. I compared the catches and the biomass with the two model¡¦s equilibrium value, and the result showed that the operating mode of bigeye tuna in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean tended to the MPV model, and the bigeye tuna resources were diminishing. In addition, the sensitivity analysis was used in order to understand the impact of various parameter changes on the two fisheries model¡¦s equilibrium value. In the OA model, the change of the price, the cost per unit effort and the catch coefficient would have greater impact on the equilibrium biomass. In the MPV model, the equilibrium biomass was sensitive to the change of the environmental capacity. Finally, in order to understand whether the management of the Western and Central Pacific Commission (WCPFC) was effective, I used simulation analysis in accordance with the catches restriction and effort restriction management strategies. The result showed that the catches restriction strategy which WCPFC established was still not proper enough. It must cut a large number of catches immediately and continue for some time enough to make the resource recover. The effort restriction strategy could make good effect on the bigeye tuna resource recovery.

Motivation is low for publishing and self-archiving in institutional repositories according to previous research, which is an issue since the repository’s full potential cannot be reached if it is void of materials. Doctoral students are the future of academia and ought to be given tools and information to be able to make informed decisions about where and how to publish. The purpose of this study is to shed light on possibilities and problems regarding self-archiving in institutional repositories by examining doctoral students at the University of Borås, focussing on their opinions of and experiences with the institutional repository DiVA as well as their perceived risks and benefits with self-archiving. Qualitative data were generated through five semi-structured interviews over videocalls. Respondents were doctoral students at the University of Borås with different levels of experience with publishing and self-archiving. The data was coded thematically and analysed using qualitative content analysis. Theories of constructivism and information literacy were applied to discuss the results. The respondents were generally knowledgeable concerning different levels of Open Access but seemed unsure of the purpose and function of DiVA. All self-archived because of the University’s policy, however not everyone recognized the personal benefits. This study concludes that research practices can be identified and problematized by acknowledging disciplinary differences in scholarly communication. Doctoral students are in a unique position to take the lead in forming research traditions that fit the new scientific landscape.

Text in English / The study investigated the usage of Open Access Institutional Repositories (OAIR) in university libraries in Ghana to develop a strategy on how the usage of OAIR in university libraries in Ghana may be enhanced. The study adopted the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which was then modified to fit the study. Accessibility, availability and visibility were proposed in addition to the conventional variables of TAM to improve the fit between the data and the theoretical model. Pragmatism paradigm, mixed methods research approach and convergent parallel mixed method design (survey and case study designs) was used for the study. Simple random sampling, stratified random sampling, purposive sampling techniques and the sample size converter were the sampling procedures and methods employed. A total of nine hundred and ninety-eight (998) respondents completed the questionnaires distributed, but for the qualitative phase twelve (12) OAIR managers were purposively selected. The questionnaire and interview guide were used as research instruments to gather relevant data for the study. Descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (multinomial logistic regression and CFA using SEM) were used as statistical tools to analyse quantitative data and thematic analysis was used to analyse qualitative data. The study revealed that there was a low level of OAIR usage in universities among academic staff, notwithstanding the high level of understanding of OAIR. This was evident in the number of research work uploaded onto the OAIR by the OAIR team. Inadequate advocacy, ICT connectivity, infrastructure, funding, power supply, insufficient technological skills, institutional repository policy, absence of incentives, institutional culture and politics and copyright issues were the challenges facing the usage of OAIR in university libraries in Ghana. The study concluded that advocacy, policies, software and staffing enshrined in an institutional guideline on OAIR would enhance OAIR usage. The study developed an OAIR Usage Model and OAIR User Manual, which would be very instrumental in the usage of OAIR in university libraries in Ghana. The model will enhance user satisfaction and intention to reuse the OAIR and making OAIR research outputs available, accessible and visible. The manual specifies the contents and documentsaccepted by the OAIR and ensuring the quality of documents archived. / Information Science / D. Litt. et Phil. (Information Science)
