Sehr geehrte Damen und = Herren,

 

im Juli hat der Vorstand der Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft eine Open Access-Policy (Deutsche Fassung, Englische Fassung) beschlossen. Dies stellt einen wichtigen Schritt in der = Umsetzung der Berliner Erkl=E4rung dar.

 

In dieser Policy verpflichtet = sich die Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, sowohl das Publizieren in reinen Open Access-Zeitschriften („Golden Road“) als auch die Open Access-Zweitver=F6ffentlichungen von Texten, die bereits traditionell = erschienen sind („Green Road“), aktiv zu unterst=FCtzen. Ausgenommen = sind allerdings, aus Gr=FCnden unserer spezifischen Forschungssitutation, = vertrauliche Projektdaten, die durch Kooperation mit Industriekunden entstanden = sind.

 

Alle F=FChrungskr=E4fte und Projektleiter sind durch die Policy aufgerufen, den Mitarbeitern Open-Access-Ver=F6ffentlichungen nahezulegen. Die n=F6tige rechtliche = und sachliche Unterst=FCtzung erhalten diese durch die Fachinformationsmanager vor = Ort. Die Verpflichtung beinhaltet auch, dass unser, jetzt neu von DINI zertifizierter Volltextserver Fraunhofer-ePrints = best=E4ndig weiter entwickelt und die Vernetzung mit anderen Repositorien vorangetrieben = wird. Ebenso notwendig ist es, dass die Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft sich = verst=E4rkt f=FCr ein wissenschaftsfreundliches Urheberrecht einsetzt und in dieser Frage = mit den anderen deutschen und europ=E4ischen Wissenschaftseinrichtungen = zusammenarbeitet.

 

F=FCr Fragen und weitere = Ausk=FCnfte stehe ich Ihnen gerne zur Verf=FCgung.

Mit freundlichen = Gr=FC=DFen,

Dina = Brandt.

This is one of the most important public access = initiatives ever undertaken. Finally, scientists, physicians, health = care workers, libraries, students, researchers and thousands of academic = institutions and companies will have access to the published work of = scientists who have been supported by NIH. For scientists working at the cutting edge of knowledge, it is essential = that they have unhindered access to the world's scientific literature. = Increasingly, scientists and researchers at all but the most = well-financed universities are finding it difficult to pay the = escalating costs of subscriptions to the journals that provide their = life blood. A major result of the NIH public access initiative is that = increasing amounts of scientific knowledge are being made freely = available to those who need to use it and through the internet the = dissemination of that knowledge is now facile. The clientele for this knowledge are not just an esoteric group of = university scientists and researchers who are pushing forward the = frontiers of knowledge. Increasingly, high school students preparing for = their science fairs need access to this material so that they too can = feel the thrill of research. Teachers preparing courses also need access = to the most up-to-date science to augment the inevitably out-of-date = textbooks. Most importantly, the lay public wants to know about research = findings that may be pertinent to their own health diagnoses and = treatment modalities. The scientific literature is our communal heritage. It has been = assembled by the painstaking work of hundreds of thousands of research = scientists and the results are essential to the pursuit of science. The = research breakthroughs that can lead to new treatments for disease, to = better diagnostics or to innovative industrial applications depend = completely on access not just to specialized literature, but rather to = the complete published literature. A small finding in one field combined = with a second finding in some completely unrelated field often triggers = that "Eureka" moment that leads to a groundbreaking scientific advance. = Public access makes this possible. The current move by the publishers is wrong. The NIH came through with = an enlightened policy that serves the best interest of science, the = scientists who practice it, the students who read about it and the = taxpayers who pay for it. The legislators who mandated this policy = should be applauded and any attempts to weaken or reverse this policy = should be halted.

As scientists and Nobel Laureates we are writing today = to=20 support the NIH Public Access Policy that was instituted earlier this = year as a=20 Congressional mandate. This is one of the most important public access=20 initiatives ever undertaken. Finally, scientists, physicians, health = care=20 workers, libraries, students, researchers and thousands of academic = institutions=20 and companies will have access to the published work of scientists who = have been=20 supported by NIH.

For scientists working at the cutting edge of=20 knowledge, it is essential that they have unhindered access to the = world's=20 scientific literature. Increasingly, scientists and researchers at all = but the=20 most well-financed universities are finding it difficult to pay the = escalating=20 costs of subscriptions to the journals that provide their life blood. A = major=20 result of the NIH public access initiative is that increasing amounts of = scientific knowledge are being made freely available to those who need = to use it=20 and through the internet the dissemination of that knowledge is now=20 facile.

The clientele for this knowledge are not just an esoteric = group=20 of university scientists and researchers who are pushing forward the = frontiers=20 of knowledge. Increasingly, high school students preparing for their = science=20 fairs need access to this material so that they too can feel the thrill = of=20 research. Teachers preparing courses also need access to the most = up-to-date=20 science to augment the inevitably out-of-date textbooks. Most = importantly, the=20 lay public wants to know about research findings that may be pertinent = to their=20 own health diagnoses and treatment modalities.

The scientific = literature=20 is our communal heritage. It has been assembled by the painstaking work = of=20 hundreds of thousands of research scientists and the results are = essential to=20 the pursuit of science. The research breakthroughs that can lead to new=20 treatments for disease, to better diagnostics or to innovative = industrial=20 applications depend completely on access not just to specialized = literature, but=20 rather to the complete published literature. A small finding in one = field=20 combined with a second finding in some completely unrelated field often = triggers=20 that "Eureka" moment that leads to a groundbreaking scientific advance. = Public=20 access makes this possible.

The current move by the publishers is = wrong.=20 The NIH came through with an enlightened policy that serves the best = interest of=20 science, the scientists who practice it, the students who read about it = and the=20 taxpayers who pay for it. The legislators who mandated this policy = should be=20 applauded and any attempts to weaken or reverse this policy should be=20 halted.

An Open Letter to the U.S. Congress
Signed = by 33=20 Nobel Prize Winners
September 9th, 2008

Dear Members of=20 Congress:

As scientists and Nobel Laureates we are writing today = to=20 support the NIH Public Access Policy that was instituted earlier this = year as a=20 Congressional mandate. This is one of the most important public access=20 initiatives ever undertaken. Finally, scientists, physicians, health = care=20 workers, libraries, students, researchers and thousands of academic = institutions=20 and companies will have access to the published work of scientists who = have been=20 supported by NIH.

For scientists working at the cutting edge of=20 knowledge, it is essential that they have unhindered access to the = world's=20 scientific literature. Increasingly, scientists and researchers at all = but the=20 most well-financed universities are finding it difficult to pay the = escalating=20 costs of subscriptions to the journals that provide their life blood. A = major=20 result of the NIH public access initiative is that increasing amounts of = scientific knowledge are being made freely available to those who need = to use it=20 and through the internet the dissemination of that knowledge is now=20 facile.

The clientele for this knowledge are not just an esoteric = group=20 of university scientists and researchers who are pushing forward the = frontiers=20 of knowledge. Increasingly, high school students preparing for their = science=20 fairs need access to this material so that they too can feel the thrill = of=20 research. Teachers preparing courses also need access to the most = up-to-date=20 science to augment the inevitably out-of-date textbooks. Most = importantly, the=20 lay public wants to know about research findings that may be pertinent = to their=20 own health diagnoses and treatment modalities.

The scientific = literature=20 is our communal heritage. It has been assembled by the painstaking work = of=20 hundreds of thousands of research scientists and the results are = essential to=20 the pursuit of science. The research breakthroughs that can lead to new=20 treatments for disease, to better diagnostics or to innovative = industrial=20 applications depend completely on access not just to specialized = literature, but=20 rather to the complete published literature. A small finding in one = field=20 combined with a second finding in some completely unrelated field often = triggers=20 that "Eureka" moment that leads to a groundbreaking scientific advance. = Public=20 access makes this possible.

The current move by the publishers is = wrong.=20 The NIH came through with an enlightened policy that serves the best = interest of=20 science, the scientists who practice it, the students who read about it = and the=20 taxpayers who pay for it. The legislators who mandated this policy = should be=20 applauded and any attempts to weaken or reverse this policy should be=20 halted.
