Here in the second case study, interviewees explain how they partnered with publishers to reach an agreement that prioritized their institution’s open access goals. #LibraryConnect #ElsevierTogether

Raise your awareness of rights retention with these resources to help researchers #RetainYourRights! Better understanding of the rights to research outputs and policy frameworks for #RightsRetention is essential to opening #AccessToKnowledge and reusability for the benefit of society, science and education. Authors and research institutions can keep sufficient rights to make their research outputs available for immediate #OpenAccess and reuse. When research is publicly funded, making it openly available aligns with the principle that public investments should generate public benefits. SPARC Europe leads #ProjectRetain to accelerate the uptake of rights retention policies that empower authors and researchers to share and reuse their work. Building a Community of Practice around rights retention is one way we do this. 📫 Join the Retain mailing list to become part of the rights retention Community of Practice: https://lnkd.in/eKxjma8i. As part of Project Retain’s second phase, SPARC Europe and KnowledgeRights21 have created several rights retention resources to help authors, research institutions, and publishers navigate rights retention. 📑 Read our position paper, Retaining rights in research outputs to enable the open dissemination of knowledge: https://lnkd.in/ebGPcti5 💻 Visit the #RetainYourRights webpage to learn more about rights retention and to take action: https://lnkd.in/eww_7zXd. 

It's #OpenAccessWeek, but are you losing the forest through the trees when it comes to OA? Our very own Brigitte Shull helps you bringing the goals of Open Access back into focus! https://lnkd.in/eNbcKmMc

It's #OpenAccessWeek, but are we losing the forest through the trees in the transition to an OA world? The success in OA output proves how much can be accomplished when stakeholders share a common goal. I argue in this blog post that it should also embolden us to tackle the next frontier: maximizing the impact of research and building global research capacity in meaningful ways.

💡 𝗞𝗥𝟮𝟭 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 🤔 How can we unlock the full potential of European research and innovation in the face of paywalls and restrictive publishing models? 🗣️ “Secondary publishing rights can enable researchers to safely upload their research on public repositories,” explains Giannis Tsakonas (University of Patras), Vice-President of LIBER Europe and KR21 management committee member. 💭 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄? Secondary Publishing Rights (SPR) refers to the right to republish publicly funded research after its first publication in an open access repository or elsewhere. This concept is gaining traction as a solution to several issues plaguing European research: 🔹paywalls limiting access to crucial research 🔹transformative agreements that don’t fully address open access needs 🔹unsustainable business models in academic publishing The good news? Progressive lawmaking is paving the way for change: ✅ several European countries have already implemented SPR initiatives ✅ more countries are eager to follow suit ✅ the Council of the European Union has welcomed these initiatives Giannis emphasises how SPR is critical to creating a more open, accessible, and innovative European research landscape. 👀 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗚𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘀' 𝗞𝗥𝟮𝟭 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗲: https://lnkd.in/eUkBFKQg 📺 𝙂𝙤 & 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙨𝙪𝙡𝙚𝙨 👉 https://lnkd.in/e6arAdfS  𝙊𝙧 𝙛𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙪𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙩 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙡𝙚𝙙𝙜𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧, 𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢 & 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙚! #KnowledgeCapsules #SecondaryPublishingRights #SPR #OpenAccess #OA #research #innovation #AcademicPublishing #ScholarlyPublishing #OpenScience #ZeroEmbargo #UnitedForKnowledgeRights

I hope that this capsule will convey the message. It is a KnowledgeRights21 knowledge capsule, densely decribing what Secondary Publishing Right is, so, ideally, it should not last long (not a time capsule to be buried) and quickly we have a European harmonized Secondary Publishing Right that sets the conditions for equitable Open Access for all Member States (and beyond, of course).

Tips for Publication: Closed access publication requires top-notch research and high-quality work for acceptance. It's a tough road, demanding excellence. On the other hand, open access might offer a smoother path to publication. Ready to share your insights? #AcademicPublishing #OpenAccess #ClosedAccess

NEW in our Speaker Series: Meet Dr Niamh O'Connor, Chief Publishing Officer at PLOS, who discusses supporting the research community and accelerating open ways of working. 🤩 It's the first Tuesday of the month, which means we're sharing another TL;DR Speaker Series interview by Dr Suze Kundu, Digital Science's Director of Researcher and Community Engagement. In this excerpt, we hear some of Niamh's views on Open Access and Open Research, as well as the legacy publishing model. To see the full interview with Niamh and find out more about this series, check out the latest blog post by Suze and our VP Open Research, Mark Hahnel, on our TL;DR site: https://ow.ly/Vhos50Rye0n #TLDR #OpenAccess #OpenResearch #OpenScience #scicomm #scholcomm #publishing #ScholarlyPublishing

This is a very interesting interview in the Digitsl Science speaker series that discusses #OpenAccess #OpenResearch #OpenScience and #ScolarlyPublishing.
