Dear lists,

recently my dissertation thesis on Open Science (especially focusing on
the discipline Sociology) was published both Open Access and as a
printed book. Perhaps this might be of interest for some people here -
even though it is written in German language.

Here is some information on the book:

***
Open Science aims to provide open access to all items produced within
the research process, primarily to text publications, research data and
research software. Moreover, Open Science should also bring transparency
in moderating processes (such as the assessment and the review of text
publications or data) and the production and utilizations of
para-informations (as impact metrics). Open Science proponents describe
it as a efficient, innovation-friendly and transparent science because
open information can be disseminated,reused and re-analyzed more quickly
and easily than closed information. The work is based on a
multidisciplinary inventory of Open Access to text publications, Open
Access to research data, Open Access to research software, Open Review
and Open Metrics, all more typically in the STM subjects (Science,
Technology, Medicine) to find than in the social sciences or humanities.
Based on this synopsis the work is dedicated to the specifics of
sociology, which is commonly regarded as a latecomer in the Open
Science. It empirically investigates the prevalence and relevance of
Open Science, Open Access to text publications, Open Access to research
data, Open Access to research software, Open Review and Open Metrics in
Sociology.
