第2セッション「機関オープンアクセス方針とは何か――英国レディング大学の
場合」の進行をつとめました。

講演者のアンドリュー・A・アダムス先生への質問事項をあらかじめいくつか
用意していたのですが、現地会場での質問・意見に時間を割いた関係で、当日
話題に上げられなかったものがありました。残った質問を後日アダムス先生に
お送りしたところ、次のメッセージをもらいましたので転送します。

▼質問(シュプリンガージャパンさんからの事前質問の一部翻案)
レディング大学では、オープンアクセス方針に沿うために、所属研究者は執筆
論文の投稿先としてグリーンジャーナルを選ばざるをえないのか(でないとし
たら、出版社がセルフアーカイブを許容しない場合どうするのか)。
また、われわれシュプリンガージャパンがOA出版事業に取り組むにあたり、
オープンアクセス思潮を取り巻く情勢という点で、英国と日本にはどのような
違いがあるか。


Sugita-san,

Reading's mandate requires deposit "if the publisher allows it" and there is
no requirement only to submit to journals with a Green or Pale Green (Pale
Green includes a time embargo) policy. In my view this is the biggest
weakn4ess of the Reading deposit policy, which should require deposit of the
author text whatever the journal policy, but should then set whether the
access is open (if the journal is green) time embargoed (if the journal is
pale green) and closed access (if the journal is grey). Individual
researchers can then use the request button to ask for an individual copy to
be emailed to them by the author thus providing almost-OA (if authors
respond, which is made very easy by the eprints software) even where the
journal is grey.

In terms of the second element, any advice for Springer on OA publishing. My
role is to promote OA, and the only proven way towards that for all research
is via IRs and deposit mandates. Changes to the way journal publishing
operates is an entirely separate issue and really a matter for the people
involved in journal publishing to figure out a sustainable business model and
profit margins. Here's some of my thoughts on the issues, though.

There is more than enough resources in academic to provide for the necessary
services involved in maintaining journal publications. Whether the is and
will continue to be, enough resources to provide a significant profit for
service providers in this area partly depends on what real value-added
services they're offering, how they manage their relationship with academia,
and how far inertia maintains a system whereby the middlemen have too much
power (and (ab)use that power to try to squeeze excxess profits out). There
is a growing issue with regards to copyright transfer policies whereby the
simplicity of copyright transfer to publishers in return for dissemination is
being abused by publishers to demand payment for things like re-use of one's
own work, or re-use of small parts of the work of others. This is beginning
to undermine academic tolerance for publishers. The fact that I had to ask
for permission from Springer (as it happens) for permission for one of my
co-authors to use a diagram I had created as part of a paper published in
AI&Society in another of their papers really annoyed me. While Springer at
this point granted permission and didn't demand payment, the fact that I
created the figure and was forced in order to publish in the relevant journal
AI&Society to transfer all rights to Springer and then have to beg for
permission for my co-authors to reuse my figure (drawn from mutual ideas, I
just happened to be the "artist") really galls. If Springer want to position
themselves as the pre-eminent professional academic publisher with a good
chance of surviving and continuing to collaborate with the academy they
really need to abandon the copyright transfer and move to a license to
publish. Returning the copyright of all previous transferred articles to
their author(s) while retaining the appropriate rights to disseminate the
articles would be a very positive move, though I doubt the shareholders of
Springer would authorise such a move.

A recent issue that's come up in terms of the internationalisation of
Japanese academia is the question of translations of journal articles. Still,
many Japanese researchers primarily publish in Japanese and it is likely that
even where they are encouraged to publish in English many would be happier
publishing a paper first in Japanese, getting it reviewed and polished in the
Japanese version, and then to translate the article into English and submit
it for wider dissemination. However, this raises copyright issues because the
original work (and this can happen if the paper is first published in English
and the author desires to produce a Japanese translation as well) has often
had to have its copyright transferred to the publisher and there is then a
question as to whether permission will be granted for translation rights.
Even if they don't adopt the license to publish (I would be happy to sign a
license to publish preventing me from allowing professional publication of my
work elsewhere, even) adopting a policy that grants the right to translate
the work into other languages explicitly and pre-emptively would help the
Japanese situation. Again, my AI&Society article was granted this permission
individually, and Springer have included the Japanese version in the online
appendix to the English version of the article, but the hassle and the
feeling associated with having to ask permission damages the relationship
between academics and publishers, in my view, even where permission is always
forthcoming. There is always a worry that perhaps next time a charge will be
levied or permission refused. Remember, I gave my work without financial
compensation and I'm not getting financial compensation for derivative works
or the inclusion of elements in other papers, and having to ask permission of
someone else is just downright unpleasant in these circumstances.
