[open-science] [okfn-discuss] "Open Access" publications under CC-NC licences

[Ross Mounce]

I've made a few more significant discoveries WRT 'fake' / mislabelled
"open access" publications and policies.

The etherpad is great place to coordinate but I feel a spreadsheet
might be better for the actual data & evidence compilation thus I'm
tabulating my finds here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtbO6mZEvieCdDFzdkVNQld6Mnc5NEpGWVlRUVhvM3c

Further to examples I originally found - alarmingly it appears Nature
(NPG) is publishing "open access" articles under CC-BY-NC-ND or
CC-BY-NC-SA licenses	e.g.
http://www.nature.com/ncomms/open_access/index.html

also from a medical perspective, it's rather worrying that BMJ is
using CC-BY-NC 2.0	http://www.bmj.com/about-bmj/resources-authors/forms-policies-and-checklists/copyright-open-access-and-permission-reuse

these are far from exceptional examples. The majority of those with
some form of "open access" I've looked at so far don't seem to have
quite understood the Budapest Declaration.

The site searching process is slow though, and I won't be able to do
much more on it this week due to other pressing commitments (sorry!),
thus we really could do with some help here...

I'll start populating my spreadsheet with publisher names and URL's -
if others could perhaps crowdsource analyses of these publishers' open
access policies that'd be a BIG help.

Best,

Ross
