CHORUS -- Up and Running 13 Oct 2015
CHORUS Update given by David Crotty at STM Frankfurt on October 13, 2015 Slide 1Title Thank you, Brian and YS, for your welcome and for hosting CHORUS' third annual reception at the STM fall meeting. We’ve brought everyone here tonight for two reasons, to celebrate how far CHORUS has come in such a short time, and to thank all of you for your support and the help you’ve supplied. I particularly want to single out Ed Pentz and the folks at CrossRef for all they’ve done as well as thank the members of CHORUS’ interim board who are here tonight. Quite a few of you are here with us: John Tagler of AAP/PSP, Fran Zappulla of IEEE, Andrew Tein of Wiley, Scott Delman of ACM, Alicia Wise of Elsevier, and Thane Kerner of Silverchair. Slide 2 Agencies Over the last year and a few months, we’ve signed CHORUS agreements with the Department of Energy, The Smithsonian Institute and the National Institute for Standards and Technology. We are in active discussions with the National Science Foundation, the US Geological Survey, the US Department of Agriculture and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association. We expect to have several major agreements to announce in the very near future. This strong level of uptake by major funding agencies is exactly what we were aiming for, and given this chance, we expect CHORUS to prove its tremendous value. Slide 3 Members Membership growth from publishers and other parts of our industry has also been strong. We have a mix of large and small publishers, commercial and NFP publishers, a range of international publishers, Fully OA and Subscription-based publishers, and publishers offering both Green and Gold OA. We currently have 37 member organizations, including some of the largest publishing houses, which means we are already covering the majority of the literature. Slide 4 Pyramid As a reminder, CHORUS is so cost-effective because it’s built on already existing infrastructure and metadata services. We’ve seen great interest in collaboration from all aspects of the scholarly communication community and we’re actively working with many organizations, with services like ORCID and CrossRef and with library groups as well. What’s been really interesting to me has been to see CHORUS change in some ways from being a direct response to the US federal funding agency policies into a tool with the potential to play a central role for publishers in compliance with the increasing regulation we’re seeing across the board on our publications. Publishers, funders, institutions, libraries and researchers are facing an oncoming compliance nightmare. A recent study showed there are already more than 660 open or public access policies for research papers. The more we can standardize those policies, the more we can automate compliance and the more we can funnel compliance through one cen
