[Open-access] Crowdsourcing request + BMJ OA Policy

Thu Mar 20 15:06:41 UTC 2014

Hi Jenny,

Thanks for stopping by the spreadsheet and filling in a few rows - much appreciated!

There appears to be a few gremlins in Google's servers which are affecting the drop down lists. Very frustrating.

I've turned off rejection for invalid data and replaced it with a warning rule which seems to have fixed things. I'll now go through and update your BMJ records.

The licence information is proving to be a really interesting area. A lot of publishers seemingly don't like CC-BY because of the impact is has on their reprint sales.

Best wishes,

Theo

Hi Theo
I've completed the BMJ Group section, but I was really struggling with the cell validation, the drop downs weren't appearing so I've put the details in the notes column to be copied across.

As a side note, my search for the licenses highlighted an interesting licensing policy:
Where an Open Access fee is paid

  *   Authors of work funded by the Research Council UK (e.g. Medical Research Council) or Wellcome Trust should select the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 3.0)<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/> licence during the submission process.
  *   If your research is supported by any other funder your work will be licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial licence (CC BY-NC 3.0)<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/>.

So for the same fee, the source of your funding determines how restrictive a license is applied, if I'm funded by e.g. CRUK and want CC-BY licensing I can't have it. Is this common? It's the first time I've seen this particular formulation although I know NPG charge more for CC-BY than CC-BY-NC...

I don't know how long this has been in place, but Wellcome Trust funded researchers are not often picking the CC-BY option, only 7/58 articles on the sheet were CC-BY.

I'm afraid this is probably as much as I'll manage this week - good luck and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out of the data!

Thanks Michelle. I'll keep dipping in and out when I have some spare time.

I hadn't appreciated how confusing it would be with multiple users editing online, especially when filters are being used.

Best wishes,

Theo

I've made a number of additions - largely highlighting society journals published by Wiley-Blackwell.

I'll have another look later. It would be great if anyone else has some spare time free over the next few days to look at this. I'll also try and find some time on Saturday morning if anyone fancies doing a bit of an online sprint?

Hi Folks,

If anyone has a spare 15 minutes we would appreciate some help to enhance the recently released Wellcome Trust 2012-13 APC data. We've set up a shared Google doc at:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RXMhqzOZDqygWzyE4HXi9DnJnxjdp0NOhlHcB5SrSZo/edit?usp=sharing

With some extra info we will be able to see what the cost differences between hybrid journals/pure OA journals are, look at relationships between impact factor/citations, analyse publishers licensing options, etc.

Anyone can click on the link and start adding data. If you can complete even just a couple of rows that would be extremely useful.

Many thanks,

Theo
