Is a compendium of simple factual lists about open access (OA) to science and scholarship, maintained by the OA community at large.
The new publication will serve the needs of OA policy development at the government, institutional and funding agency level.
The falls straddle the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, in the heart of two national parks -- the Mosi-oa-Tunya park on the Zambian side and the Victoria Falls park in Zimbabwe, which collectively form a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Through provision of guidelines and by establishing a network of OA experts, the project provided the support required to introduce OA practices.
Nidae Al-Ryadh of Free Access to Scientific and Technical Information was the first Arabic declaration in support of OA by the participants in the Second Gulf-Maghreb Scientific Congress (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, February 25-26, 2006), which calls for free access to all scientific literature on the internet.
Projects: NWO made 2, 5 million Euros available in 2010 for the support of OA which includes conversion of existing humanities journals to OA format.
Painter Paul Gaugin and Belgium singer Jacques Brel were so impressed with their initial visit to Hiva Oa, the largest island in the archipelago, that they both lived and died there.
Open Access experts from universities, specialized non-governmental organizations, UN agencies and publishing houses will gather together to deliberate on the strategy, present the global trends in OA and identify opportunities to improve access to peer-reviewed research information to all.
Open Access (OA) is the provision of free access to peer-reviewed, scholarly and research information to all.
Although Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) and Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), the two major research funders (along with the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture) have signed the Berlin Declaration, neither have OA mandates.
They were named after the British Queen in 1855 by Scottish explorer David Livingstone, but their local name of "Mosi-oa-Tunya" -- meaning "the smoke that thunders"-- is far more descriptive.
It serves as an advisory body to the Ditch government, KNAW does not have an OA mandate.
The publication will be useful to both the beginners as well as experienced in the world of Open Access, and will assist the decision-makers, administrators and research managers to focus on OA policy development.
Thus the guidelines are not prescriptive in nature, but are suggestive to facilitate knowledge-based decision-making to adopt OA policies and strengthen national research systems.
