What are the differences between #RightsRetention and #SecondaryPublishingRight? Both help achieve #OpenAccess, but the mechanisms differ. #OA100
🎓💪 Librarians: Your authors and institutional leaders need you to clarify this distinction!

With #HorizonEurope #OpenScience requirements, it's possible to go the 'Green' route.

Use the #RightsRetention Statement. Add it in the 1st page of the article, in the ack. section or the message to the editor.

⚠️ Keep the statement from initial submission to the final version!

To achieve 100% #OpenAccess, you need to engage with issues on #RightsRetention and #OpenLicences. This is where libraries can provide support. 👇

The implementation of #RightsRetention policies brings challenges to every library. Stop solving it alone, join the European Rights Retention Community of Practice (CoP) to collaborate with peers.

I applaud the new #StockholmDeclaration for the reform of academic publishing.
https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.251805

It calls for action on four high-level principles, and makes 34 specific recommendations under those four heads. Here are the four:

"(i) Academia should resume control of publishing using non-profit publishing models (e.g. diamond open-access). (ii) Adjust incentive systems to merit quality, not quantity, in a reputation economy where the gaming of publication numbers and citation metrics distorts the perception of academic excellence. (iii) Implement mechanisms to prevent and detect fake publications and fraud which are independent of publishers. (iv) Draft and implement legislations, regulations and policies to increase publishing quality and integrity."

I just signed it and hope you will too. When you sign, you can weigh in separately on each of the 34 specific recommendations.

100% #openaccess starts with 100% #RightsRetention and using #OpenLicences. 🔒 Publisher embargoes (up to 36 months) and restrictive CC BY-NC-ND licences contradict many Europe’s OA goals.

Building bridges to Open Access. Paths to Institutional Rights Retention in Europe 2024

This report contains the findings of the Phase Two of Project Retain began in the summer of 2024, building on the work of Phase One, which was completed with the publication of Opening Knowledge: Retaining Rights and Licensing in Europe 2023. This report identifies broad trends and patterns across Europe, considering a wide range of stakeholder groups, to better understand how institutional rights retention policies are developing across ten European countries. The case studies published in this report highlight different approaches and rates of progress, and feature initiatives in Bulgaria, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Serbia, Slovenia, and the UK. Project Retain is led by SPARC Europe as part of The Knowledge Rights 21 (KR21) Programme, funded by Arcadia fund (https://www.arcadiafund.org.uk/).
