DRFのみなさま
金沢 内島です。
ドイツのマックスプランク研究所が、Springerとのbig deal契約を今年限りで中止
するとプレスリリースしました。そのコメントの中で、ベルリン宣言に触れて、以下
のように言っていました。
「・・・If publishers have the market power to effectively implement such prices
and if legislators are unwilling to subject such inappropriate behavior to legal
controls, the only way left open to science will be to take matters into their
own hands.」
ベルリン宣言に署名し、オープンアクセス運動に積極的に関与してきた世界的組織の面目
躍如というところです。
Ann Okerson さんのコメントを転送します:
Seen on another list:
Max Planck Society cancels licensing agreement with Springer
Following difficult negotiations, the Max Planck Society has cancelled
the licensing agreement it has had for many years with Springer Verlag.
The cancellation will take effect as of December 31, 2007. Negotiations
failed because no agreement could be reached regarding an adequate ratio
between price and long-term services.
The entire text of the press release is available at:

With best regards,
