Re: [Ipoa_forum_archiv] [IP-OA_Forum] Fwd: DOAJ - new interface & 6300 journals, 500.000 articles

["Eberhard R. Hilf" <hilf@isn-oldenburg.de>]

The registry record of DOAJ of OA-Journals is nice, however it is a lower 
limit: there are nice and neat and fully OA-journals, strutinely 
refereed, scientific journals, which applied for registry by DOAJ but were
rejected, because of a quarrel of the choice of CC-variant, acceptable by 
DOAJ/SPARC.

E.g.  the Geoscience set of journals
http://paleopolis.rediris.es/geosciences/
are Open Access, they are 
perfect 'green publishers': http://romeo.eprints.org/publishers/140.html 

DOAJ requires CC-BY-licence
http://www.doaj.org/doaj?func=loadTempl&templ=faq#getseal
which "lets others distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your
work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for the original 
creation".
whereas the geosciences bunch requires another cc-varian: they allow free 
noncommercial use and access by anyone open access, but want" to assure 
that we do not want (author's) work to be re-used without their 
permission/agreement if it is for a commercial use for we want to leave 
them individually to make the decision whether they agree or not their 
work is re-used by people who will make money on it· for we want them to 
eventually receive royalties if their work is to be re-used 
commercially.."
 I find the DOAJ restriction too prohibitive and counterproductive for the 
spread and acceptance of Open Access for scientific Journal articles to 
boost scienctist's work.
