[IP-OA_Forum] Positions on creating an Open Access publication market which is scholarly adequate

[Heinz Pampel <heinz.pampel@oa.helmholtz.de>]

Dear colleagues, 

in February 2015, the Ad Hoc Working Group Open Access Gold in the priority initiative "Digital Information" of the Alliance of Science Organisations in Germany [1] had published the position paper "Positionen zur Schaffung eines wissenschaftsadäquaten Open-Access-Publikationsmarktes [2]".

Now the English translation "Positions on creating an Open Access publication market which is scholarly adequate" is available: 

http://doi.org/10.2312/allianzoa.009

Abstract: "This position paper is the working group's first result. It is directed at scholarly institutions dealing with aspects of Open Access publishing, and bundles and evaluates the requirements for contracts based on the publication cost model. It also raises the question of linking subscriptions and Open Access and gives the institutions targeted ideas for formulating their Open Access strategies. It aims to create transparency and sustainability in the field of scholarly publishing in the interests of the sciences and to avoid perpetuating mistakes of the past."

Thanks to Herbert Grüttemeier from CNRS, a French translation is available too:

Best regards
