[drf:1646] Fw: Univ of HK signs Open Choice agreement with Springer



皆様
香港大では、Springerとのパイロット・プロジェクトで、所属の研究者が
Springerの雑誌に掲載した論文はすべてOpen Choice扱いにするよう
ですね。
お金はどうなっているのか、つまりSpringerのサービスで無料なのか、
それとも香港大がまとめていくらか支払うのか、下記のプレス・リリース
では明らかにされていないようですが。。。

> The University of Hong Kong Libraries and Springer have reached an agreement
> which allows researchers at the affiliated institutions of The University of
> Hong Kong (HKU) to publish their research in Springer journals using
> Springer Open ChoiceTM.  Springer's Open Choice program offers full and
> immediate open access (free to the reader) for articles that are accepted
> for publication after a process of rigorous peer-review.  Accepted HKU
> articles will appear as usual in Springer print journals, and will be
> published electronically using open access on SpringerLink, PubMed Central,
> and the HKU institutional repository, The HKU Scholars Hub.   The pilot
> project will run from March 2010 to March 2011.

> Professor Paul Tam, Pro Vice Chancellor for Research, and Director of the
> Knowledge Exchange Office at HKU, said:  "The amount of cutting-edge
> research done at The University of Hong Kong has increased dramatically.  It
> is important to also increase access to this research, and thereby secure
> all the benefits that this research can bring to the public who funded it.
> The Springer Open Choice is a good first step in that direction!"

> Professor Jan van Aalst,  Springer author at the Faculty of Education of The
> University of Hong Kong added, "I usually choose a journal in which to
> publish by the community it serves.  However all other things being equal, I
> prefer to publish in an open access journal.  In this case, using Springer's
> Open Choice, I found that my article was discovered much more quickly."

> "Making HKU's research available to all interested parties in open access
> format is a key goal of our Knowledge Exchange Initiative, which holds that
> publicly-funded universities should return the results of their research to
> the communities that funded them." added Professor Tam.

> "Several researchers at HKU have already used Springer's Open Choice service
> on their own.   We are, however, very pleased that we gained such a key
> academic institution to carry out this pilot project.  We value very highly
> the opportunity to further develop exciting new publishing models in close
> cooperation with yet another respected institution," said Peter Hendriks,
> President STM Global Publishing & Marketing at Springer.
