Die Förderung von alternativen, nicht-kommerziellen Open Science-Infrastrukturen & -Services (OSIS) durch Forschungseinrichtungen in Österreich – Empfehlungen, Kriterien & Modelle

Abstract

Der Beitrag präsentiert einen Teil der Arbeitsergebnisse der Unterarbeitsgruppe „Open Access-Awareness/Nicht-kommerzielle Open Access-Infrastrukturen und Services“ des Teilprojekts 4 „Förderung von Open Access-Publikationen und alternativen Open Access-Publikationsmodellen“ des Hochschulraumstrukturmittelprojekts Austrian Transition to Open Access (AT2OA). Einerseits werden Förderkriterien für die Evaluierung von Open Science-Infrastrukturen & -Services (OSIS) vorgestellt, die in Zukunft als ein Hilfsmittel beim Entscheidungsprozess zur Förderung von OSIS herangezogen werden können. Weiters wird auf Finanzierungsmodelle eingegangen, die in Österreich herangezogen werden könnten, um die längerfristige Förderung von OSIS sicherzustellen, und ein Überblick über die derzeit in Österreich geförderten Initiativen geboten.

Open Access Transition: A view through the lens of a librarian

“…It is therefore crucial to raise awareness of the concerns of scholarly-led journals not funded by APCs and to promote network building. Ferus and Reckling (2019) discuss different funding models as well as necessary funding criteria and give an overview of initiatives already funded by Austrian universities and the Austrian Science Fund. Additionally, research institutions need to commit to initiatives such as DORA and implement the use and contextualization of different metrics to highlight bibliometric diversity.…”

Austrian Transition to Open Access: a collaborative approach

“…SP4 also explored the issues surrounding OA monographs in the humanities, in social and cultural sciences and contributed to several conferences on this topic and on open infrastructures. 25 A recent study 26 by one of the SP4 participants surveyed the current landscape of the OA journals in Austria, most of which are published by non-commercial organizations and do not charge publication fees. It serves as an essential source of information for further initiatives to promote alternative open access models and establish community-led, publisher-independent open access journal infrastructures.…”

The FWF’s Open Access Policy over the last 15 Years – Developments and Outlook

“…46 Empirical evidence shows that already in 2013 50 % of all research publications worldwide were published with only five publishers. 47 Hence, to foster a diverse OA publishing market, since 2014, the FWF has also been supporting alternative publication models and infrastructures 48 , such as SCOAP3, Europe PMC, arxiv, DOAJ, OAPEN, OLH, ORCID, and SciPost. The costs spent on these initiatives are published on the FWF's website on a yearly basis.…”
