Publishing

16. Looking ahead: Re-use of original material
Open Access publishers must help implement Budapest OA Initiative goals:
• re-use for lawful purposes;
• authors’ control over the integrity of their work;
• protect their right to be properly acknowledged and credited.
Possible solution: Automatic embedding (e.g. Getty Images)

17. Looking ahead: Re-use of 3rd-party material
Open Access publishers must help solve complicated copyright and licence issues:
- Different Open Access policies of archives, museums, and artists
- Refusal of reproduction; higher fees for rights clearance;
- Licence limitations are not automatically transferable to re-used publications

Editor's Notes
- Presentation in three parts: 1. Context, who are we and what do we publish 2. Concrete examples of re-use 3. Looking ahead: major concerns as OA expands
Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences
Interdisciplinary approach.
More than 330 researchers, partner institutions world-wide.
First publishing project
peer-reviewed books
Traditional model
Springer Open 3-4 years after initial publication
aimed at young researchers

Pilot project to develop vital infrastructural building blocks for the digital publication process
Collaborative project – Library, DFG, PKP
New book-series is based on experiences with Cluster’s journal: Library hosts, PKP offers platform, Cluster looks after editorial management;
Bi-annual journal to promote knowledge and research of transculturality in all disciplines.
Offer two formats: pdf and html; epub on the way. (Journal 2.0 – moving towards 3.0 yesterday Xijun Peng)
Listed with three Indexes: EBSCO, DOAJ, Ulrich’s; Thomson Reuter and Scopus are pending
Statistics: 7 issues: 34 articles; 165k views, 140k html views, 26k pdf views & downloads
Peer-reviewers: database of 200; hand-picked by recommendation
Money: Not unlike elife : objective not to break even; but to climb mountain: establish journal and help OA in hum SoSci
Following examples on Re-Use are all culled from this journal
Html view of one of our essays
text-based example of re-use: yellow shows original publication
Reuse and remix: editors, translator and author worked together on this revision and translation.
Media-based example of re-use
Chosen for two reasons:
Editorial: Decision to include podcasts was not an easy one: changes are impossible, which is difficult for a journal that claims to be peer-reviewed. Solution: unanimous agreement of editorial board.
Licensing: (next slide) Copyrighted material for this was easy (he is the director) – but I believe we would have had an issue with a CC-BY rather than a CC-BY-NC license
- Html version of article by scholar of architecture
Found this instance of re-use on a Cambodian blog
At first: no attribution, then friendly email exchange, attribution added
CRUCIAL: Link back to source is part of CC-BY – link back to the original source!
Important to enable re-use in the communities and cultures which we study. Reciprocal research.

Inverse instance of re-use to Yu Chi Lai’s example: originally English essay translated into Chinese
On the right hand side is the version published by the Department of Chinese Literature of the National Chung Hsing University in Taiwan
Original material first:
- with increasing amount of humanities, arts and social science texts being published in open access, there are some major challenges:
Important to recall some of the founding principles
Authors are still nervous about Open Access. Issues such as plagiarism, tweaking and falsification are still prevalent.
Big question: How?
Getty Images just released a tool that allows bloggers, social media users, and the like to embed some 35 million images.
When a user embeds an image they get from Getty, it will include attribution to the original creator, as well as a large link back to Getty’s site. (see http://www.geekwire.com/2014/getty-images-launches-new-tool-bloggers-embed-stock-photos-free/)
For many Humanities and Social Sciences researchers things are more difficult – because there is no overall approach to use of 3rd party material in OA.
Worst case scenario: Refusal (see image below). Also bad: high prices for OA use
Also important to remember: license agreements are not necessarily transferable.
Best case scenario (next slide)
Want to close with the ideal case:
Image for first issue
No precedent, sent a mail to museum,
In less than 24 h had a reply and the image! All they wanted was a proper credit – which I reproduced here.
This is what we need to produce the best possible academic output for the widest possible audience to share our insights and discoveries for proper reuse across the world. It will take a concerted effort of open access publishers, authors and 3rd party rights-holders to make it happen.
