Open Access Publishing of ETD’s: Requirements and Implications of complying with Budapest, Bethesda and BerlinClement, Gail 09 1900 (has links)
Conferencia realizado del 12 al 14 de setiembre en Lima, Peru del 2012 en el marco del 15º Simposio Internacional de Tesis y Disertaciones Electrónicas (ETD 2012). Evento aupiciado por la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) y la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC). / This presentation will cover the specifications of the Budapest Open Access Initiative
(BOAI) – a significant movement gaining momentum worldwide – and examine the
implications BOAI would have on ETD publishing.
The vision of the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) is the “completely free
and unrestricted access” to scholarly literature “by all scientists, scholars, teachers,
students, and other curious minds.” Building on earlier OA declarations signed in
Bethesda and Berlin, BOAI reflects the principle that open access publishing “will
accelerate research, enrich education, share the learning of the rich with the poor and
the poor with the rich, make this literature as useful as it can be, and lay the
foundation for uniting humanity in a common intellectual conversation and quest for
knowledge.” While BOAI has been initiated to address new forms of journal
publishing, “it could be extended quite naturally to all the writings for which authors
do not expect payment... These include theses and dissertations.” (Budapest Open
Access Initiative:Frequently Asked Questions,
http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/boaifaq.htm)
As unique works intended to enter the stream of scholarship, ETD’s are a natural
candidate for OA publishing. But are the requirements of Budapest suitable for the
ETD community? For example, the requirement for distribution under a CC-BY
license means that an ETD could be redistributed by any interested party, whether for
free or for profit, an objectionable outcome for some authors and institutions. All
BOIA implications for ETD publishing will be examined in this presentation.
