The Corona pandemic as never before shows the advantages of Open Science and Open Access (OA), understood as the unrestricted access to research data, software and publications over the internet. It might prove to become the final push for the long-predicted “access revolution” in the academic publishing system, completing the paradigm shift from a system based on subscriptions to one in which scientific publications are freely available for readers over the internet. This paradigm shift is already underway, with major research funding organisations at the national and international levels massively supporting it. The call for OA has now also been taken up by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which in its recent General Comment No. 25 on the so-called “right to science” under Art. 15(1)(b) of the ICESCR explicitly asks states to promote OA. Following the line of argument of OA proponents, the Committee finds that OA is beneficial to scientific progress and furthermore a tool to bridge the “knowledge gap”. The aim of this paper is to examine the GC and its implications for the global academic publishing system in the digital age. Analysing and critically assessing the GC, which highlights that “benefitting” from science includes access to science as such and not only to its material outcomes, the paper argues that the added value of the GC, and indeed the independent meaning of the right to science which so far primarily was seen as an enabler for other social rights, lies in this dimension. However, when it comes to OA, the GC is not nuanced enough. Without closer scrutiny, it assumes that OA is generally beneficial to the right to science. This risks to give the human rights blessing to practices deemed highly problematic by many: The OA model which is about to become the global standard risks to benefit the already privileged, namely researchers and publishers in the Global North, further sidelining those at the margins. Rather than narrowing existing gaps, it risks to of further deepen them. A human rights approach to science, the paper concludes, needs to address these global connections and implications rather than to overlook them.

This book aims to synthesize the state of the art on biodiversity knowledge exchange practices to understand where and how improvements can be made to close the knowledge-implementation gap in conservation science and advance this interdisciplinary topic. Bringing together the most prominent scholars and practitioners in the field, the book looks into the various sources used to produce biodiversity knowledge - from natural and social sciences to Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Citizen Science - as well as knowledge mobilization approaches to highlight the key ingredients that render successful conservation action at a global scale. By doing so, the book identified major current challenges and opportunities in the field, for different sectors that generate, mobilize, and use biodiversity knowledge (like academia, boundary organizations, practitioners, and policy-makers), to further develop cross-sectorial knowledge mobilization strategies and enhance evidence-informed decision-making processes globally.

Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Law - Media, Multimedia Law, Copyright, grade: 2,0, University of Kassel, language: English, abstract: Globalization, digitalization and the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) have reached a point where intellectual property has to be guarded. To give an example: today it is no problem anymore to watch movies, listen to music or get access to relevant information on a specific issue on the internet. Even though it is not legal to download these information, numbers of illegal downloads are rising every year. In present economies innovation is mandatory. But innovation can only arise from new acquired knowledge. This knowledge has most commonly its origin in scientific research. With intellectual property rights (IPR) it is achievable to transfer this knowledge from the academic sector to the commercial sector. With that, the knowledge gap between these institutions can be closed.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) produced a 2011 report on women in agriculture with a clear and urgent message: agriculture underperforms because half of all farmers—women—lack equal access to the resources and opportunities they need to be more productive. This book builds on the report’s conclusions by providing, for a non-specialist audience, a compendium of what we know now about gender gaps in agriculture.

Libraries are places of learning and knowledge creation. Over the last two decades, digital technology—and the changes that came with it—have accelerated this transformation to a point where evolution starts to become a revolution. The wider Open Science movement, and Open Access in particular, is one of these changes and is already having a profound impact. Under the subscription model, the role of libraries was to buy or license content on behalf of their users and then act as gatekeepers to regulate access on behalf of rights holders. In a world where all research is open, the role of the library is shifting from licensing and disseminating to facilitating and supporting the publishing process itself. This requires a fundamental shift in terms of structures, tasks, and skills. It also changes the idea of a library’s collection. Under the subscription model, contemporary collections largely equal content bought from publishers. Under an open model, the collection is more likely to be the content created by the users of the library (researchers, staff, students, etc.), content that is now curated by the library. Instead of selecting external content, libraries have to understand the content created by their own users and help them to make it publicly available—be it through a local repository, payment of article processing charges, or through advice and guidance. Arguably, this is an overly simplified model that leaves aside special collections and other areas. Even so, it highlights the changes that research libraries are undergoing, changes that are likely to accelerate as a result of initiatives such as Plan S. This Special Issue investigates some of the changes in today’s library services that relate to open access.

The principle of Access to Knowledge (A2K) has become a common reference point for a diverse set of agendas that all hope to realize technological and human potential by making knowledge more accessible. This book is a history of international copyright focused on principles of A2K and their proponents. Whilst debate and discussion so far has covered the perspectives of major western countries, the author's fresh approach to the topic considers emerging countries and NGOs, who have fought for the principles of A2K that are now fundamental to the system. Written in a clear and accessible style, the book connects copyright history to current problems, issues and events.

Diese Studie diskutiert die Idee des Open Access und wie wissenschaftliche Informationen verbreitet werden können. Vor allem die COVID-19-Pandemie sowie die Verbreitung von „Fake News“ haben die Forderung nach freiem, unbeschränktem und kostenlosem Zugang zu wissenschaftlichen Informationen verstärkt. Die Folge waren zahlreiche nationale und internationale Initiativen zur Förderung von Open Access. Während über die Bedeutung wissenschaftlicher Forschung und ihrer Verbreitung Einigkeit besteht, gehen die Meinungen über die Art und Weise der Verbreitung auseinander. Ausgehend von den Ursprüngen der Open-Access-Bewegung und ihren rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen sucht diese Arbeit nach vermeintlichen Pflichten zur Veröffentlichung und Verbreitung wissenschaftlicher Informationen, die von Urheber:innen mit Hilfe öffentlicher Mittel bzw. in öffentlich finanzierten Forschungseinrichtungen geschaffen wurden.

Influential writings make the case for open access to research, explore its implications, and document the early struggles and successes of the open access movement. Peter Suber has been a leading advocate for open access since 2001 and has worked full time on issues of open access since 2003. As a professor of philosophy during the early days of the internet, he realized its power and potential as a medium for scholarship. As he writes now, “it was like an asteroid crash, fundamentally changing the environment, challenging dinosaurs to adapt, and challenging all of us to figure out whether we were dinosaurs.” When Suber began putting his writings and course materials online for anyone to use for any purpose, he soon experienced the benefits of that wider exposure. In 2001, he started a newsletter—the Free Online Scholarship Newsletter, which later became the SPARC Open Access Newsletter—in which he explored the implications of open access for research and scholarship. This book offers a selection of some of Suber's most significant and influential writings on open access from 2002 to 2010. In these texts, Suber makes the case for open access to research; answers common questions, objections, and misunderstandings; analyzes policy issues; and documents the growth and evolution of open access during its most critical early decade.
