Authors Guild loses to Google again

Posted: 16 Oct 2015 06:42 AM PDT

Here's an excerpt from today's judgment from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals:

"Plaintiff-appellants, who are authors of published books under copyright, appeal from the judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Chin, J.) in favor of Defendant Google, Inc. Plaintiffs sued Google, alleging that its Library Project and Google Books project infringe Plaintiffs' copyrights. Through these projects, Google makes and retains digital copies of books submitted to it by major libraries, allows the libraries that submitted a book to download and retain a digital copy, and allows the public to search the texts of the digitally copied books and see displays of snippets of text. The district court granted summary judgment based on its conclusion that Google's copying is fair use under 17 U.S.C. § 107 and is therefore not infringing. The Court of Appeals concludes that the defendant's copying is transformative within the meaning of Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc., 510 U.S. 569, 578-585 (1994), does not offer the public a meaningful substitute for matter plaintiffs' copyrights, and satisfies § 107's test for fair use. AFFIRMED...."

What are the roadblocks to successful scientific replications? | Pete Etchells | Science | The Guardian

Posted: 16 Oct 2015 05:31 AM PDT

"It's a simple question, but one that's essential to science: if I repeat an experiment, how reliably can I get the same result? But it's a question that you can't ask without the right materials. It's like baking a cake – if you're not given enough instructions in the recipe, or told what sort of ingredients you're supposed to be using, you might end up with a carrot cake when you thought you were making a Battenberg. For psychological research, replication is big business at the moment. In August this year, the Reproducibility Project - a groundbreaking attempt to systematically assess the reliability of published psychological research findings - delivered a grim result. Of 100 experiments that were replicated, the original findings were only reproduced in just 36% of cases. Some news outlets saw this as an opportunity to take a dig at the entire discipline, as if this was somehow conclusive evidence that psychology wasn't a real science. But low replication rates are an issue that extend beyond psychology – cancer biology is facing the difficult reality of irreproducible results, and a recent analysis of 67 economics papers found that even if the original authors helped out, only 49% of results were reproducible. Other outlets reported much more thoughtfully on the findings from the Reproducibility Project though, and highlighted that the real take-home message was aimed squarely at psychologists: there's more work to be done. We need more replication studies, and they need to become an acceptable, respected, and ingrained part of psychological research life ..."

" ... The good news is that the world has seen enormous progress made on open access to scholarship since we wrote our 2009 plan. Locally, we've made some progress, too. We have a fund to help our faculty publish in journals that rely on author fees as their business model, thanks to the generous support of our faculty development program. Our archivist has digitized a great deal of unique local material and we've started an institutional repository to showcase publicly-available research by our faculty; we'll soon be adding student work. We've selected and cataloged open access books and made sure journal content from the Directory of Open Access Journals appears alongside subscription content and, with other liberal arts colleges, we've explored the feasibility of starting an open access liberal arts press (about which some news may be forthcoming yet this year). Though we haven't pushed for a campus-wide open access mandate, library faculty adopted one of our own in May 2009, as we were wrapping up yet another big round of cuts to subscriptions. It seemed appropriate, given the price increases we were seeing ... All of which is to say open access is vital for carrying out the mission of libraries and the institutions they serve. We believe that knowledge is for the public good, not for private gain. It's time to act on those beliefs and do more to make scholarship accessible to all from here on out. But librarians will have to keep balancing the demands on our budgets and will for the foreseeable future be serving a guides to this garden of forking paths, some of them with tolls and some without.  Next week we'll celebrate Open Access Week. We also will check in periodicals, catalog books, pay for subscriptions, explore new publishing models, add thing to our institutional repository, and try to explain this complicated world to our students and to each other. Happy trails.

An Entity By Any Other Name: Linked Open Data as a Basis for a Decentered, Dynamic Scholarly Publishing Ecology | Brown | Scholarly and Research Communication

Posted: 16 Oct 2015 05:23 AM PDT

"Linked open data provides a means of producing an interlinked and more navigable scholarly environment to permit: the better integration of research materials; the potential to address the specificities of the nomenclature, discourses, and methodologies; and the ability to respect institutional and individual investments. The paper proposes a linked data publishing ecology based on collaborations between the scholarly, publishing, and library communities, and tempered by a consideration of the current state of linked data publishing practices and infrastructure gaps with respect to enabling such collaboration, particularly in the humanities."

Transformation Through Integration: The Renaissance Knowledge Network (ReKN) and a Next Wave of Scholarly Publication | Powell | Scholarly and Research Communication

Posted: 16 Oct 2015 05:22 AM PDT

[Abstract]  This article reflects on the first six months of funded research by the Renaissance Knowledge Network (ReKN), focusing especially on the possibilities for interoperability and metadata aggregation of diverse digital projects, including but not limited to Early English Books Online—Text Creation Partnership; the Iter Bibliography; the Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory; the Advanced Research Consortium network; Editing Modernism in Canada; the INKE working groups; and several other, smaller projects. This article also considers how internetworked resources and a holistic scholarly environment should incorporate and build on existing publication and markup tools. Key to this process of facilitating new forms of scholarly production are including possibilities for middle-state publication; exporting both primary and critical content; and forming new types of technologically facilitated scholarly communities.

MASSPIRG spreads awareness of high textbook costs with Zombie event

Posted: 16 Oct 2015 04:59 AM PDT

"Students ran around the quad chased by zombie textbooks, a grim reminder for many students of how their expensive textbooks take a big bite from their budgets. Although this event was fun with students dressed up as zombie textbooks,  the rising cost of college is something that affects all students regardless of field of study or type of institution. According to Collegeboard.com, a student should expect to pay approximately $1,250 a year on just textbooks and learning materials, over $600 a semester. Textbook publishers have little competition and their monopoly allows them to inflate the prices of their texts. Open-source textbook initiatives are hoping to help give students a much more affordable option. MassPIRG is hoping that by increasing awareness of open-source materials, more professors will consider switching from traditional textbooks to an open-source option and help their students save money ..."

Op-ed | Open Access to Weather Data in a Changing Landscape

Posted: 16 Oct 2015 04:57 AM PDT

" ... Accurate, up-to-date weather information is something we take for granted in the United States. When traveling abroad, one can't help but observe that U.S. weather information is of higher quality and ubiquity relative to other countries. So why is that? The relative size of the U.S. in terms of population, gross domestic product and land mass with its associated wide variety of different types of weather hazards certainly is part of the answer. We have also benefited from federal investments in basic research. But in my opinion, it is the combination of a strong federal infrastructure with the National Weather Service at the forefront working in concert with a vibrant private sector. This public-private partnership is underpinned by the U.S. government's policy of making its data available to anyone. This U.S. model of open data access not only benefits us at home but also has allowed us to export weather services. While it's not possible to measure the size of the private weather sector in the U.S. compared with other countries, it is possible to infer it. The Weather Co.'s major competitors overseas are primarily either other U.S. companies or quasi-government organizations such as the U.K. Meteorological Office. As a nation, we have built the largest weather enterprise on the planet — and it didn't occur by accident. It was the result of a government policy based on public-private partnership, where the private enterprise built on the infrastructure of the public enterprise ..."

For a better open access in the Humanities | Gazette

Posted: 16 Oct 2015 04:48 AM PDT

"The University of Ottawa has long been a proud supporter of open access, and is delighted to be celebrating international open access week again in October. This year the University of Ottawa Library marks the occasion by inviting the University community to come and learn about the enormous strides taken in open access research dissemination and publishing in Canada in 2015. This spring, NSERC, SSHRC, and CIHR launched together the Tri-Agency open access policy, thereby ensuring that the results of publicly funded research is available to all Canadians, paving the way for informed policy and citizen science. The opening up of data for sharing and reproducibility also came to the forefront in 2015, as CIHR announced their data deposit and retention policy as part of the tri-agency harmonization. At Congress 2015, held at uOttawa in May, the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) and Érudit introduced an innovative made-in-Canada partnership between libraries and the publishing industry to ensure the transition toward open access, particularly for French-language journals in the social sciences and the humanities. On Monday October 19th, the University Library, in association with Canadian Science Publishing, will be hosting an event with representatives from the Tri-Agency, CRKN and Érudit where uOttawa students, faculty and researchers can learn more about these exciting developments. In addition, the Library will be featuring a talk by uOttawa's own Dr. Jules Blais, Senior Editor of Facets (facetsjournal.com), the new multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary open access science journal from Canadian Science Publishing. A reception will be held after the event."

One Thing I Learned From Canadian Science Policy Debate – Open Access | Pasco Phronesis

Posted: 16 Oct 2015 03:47 AM PDT

"As I haven't posted anything on Canadian open access policies since 2010, clearly I need to catch up.  I am assuming Goodyear is referring to the Tri-Agency Open Access Policy, introduced in February by his successor as Minister of State for Science and Technology.  It applies to all grants issued from May 1, 2015 and forward (unless the work was already applicable to preexisting government open access policy), and applies most of the open access policy of the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR) to the other major granting agencies (the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada). The policy establishes that grantees must make research articles coming from their grants available free to the public within 12 months of publication.  This can be done through an open access journal or archiving the article with an open access repository (such as one at a university).  CIHR grantees must also retain original research data for at least five years after the end of the grant, and deposit some types of research output into the relevant public database immediately on publication ..."

"Earlier this week Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation Carlos Moedas issued a joint statement with the Dutch Minister for Secretary of State for Education, Culture and Science about open access for research funding in the European Union.  The Dutch will hold the presidency of the EU in the first half of 2016, and the country has its own open access policy for government funded research. Besides encouraging publishers to support open access publishing in their journals, the Minister and the Commissioner support the efforts of groups like the League of European Research Universities (LERU) to encourage business models for journals that support open access.  The simultaneous release of the statements from the politicians and the advocates suggest there will be a concerted push to encourage more open access research – which is required under the EU's Horizon 2020 research program – in early 2016 ..."

"In the first part of this post I identified some of the problems I perceive with the legacy publishing model for academic books, articulated the primary objectives of OBP, and noted that at OBP we have the same number of sales per book and two orders of magnitude more readers than legacy publishers do. The intention of this second part of the post is to present some data and use it to assess our success in meeting our four objectives. In Part Three, I will present cost and revenue data to assess the business model. In Part One, I explained that OBP had four operational objectives: publish only high-quality research, maximise readership of the content of the works published, maximise engagement with and re-use of the works, improve the quality, range and scope of academic research by encouraging and developing innovative outputs. I will now consider each in turn ..."

Blind analysis: Hide results to seek the truth : Nature News & Comment

Posted: 16 Oct 2015 02:46 AM PDT

"Decades ago, physicists including Richard Feynman noticed something worrying. New estimates of basic physical constants were often closer to published values than would be expected given standard errors of measurement1. They realized that researchers were more likely to 'confirm' past results than refute them — results that did not conform to their expectation were more often systematically discarded or revised.  To minimize this problem, teams of particle physicists and cosmologists developed methods of blind analysis: temporarily and judiciously removing data labels and altering data values to fight bias and error2. By the early 2000s, the technique had become widespread in areas of particle and nuclear physics. Since 2003, one of us (S.P.) has, with colleagues, been using blind analysis for measurements of supernovae that serve as a 'cosmic yardstick' in studies of the unexpected acceleration of the Universe's expansion3.  In several subfields of particle physics and cosmology, a new sort of analytical culture is forming: blind analysis is often considered the only way to trust many results. It is also being used in some clinical-trial protocols (the term 'triple-blinding' sometimes refers to this4), and is increasingly used in forensic laboratories as well.  But the concept is hardly known in the biological, psychological and social sciences ..."

"Data collection and analysis are at the core of modern research, and often take months or even years during which researchers remain uncredited for their contribution. A new plugin to a workflow previously developed by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and Pensoft, and tested with datasets shared through GBIF and DataONE, now makes it possible to convert metadata into a manuscript for scholarly publications, with a click of a button.  Pensoft has currently implemented the feature for biodiversity, ecological and environmental data. Such records are either published through GBIF or deposited at DataONE, from where the associated metadata can be converted directly into data paper manuscripts within the ARPHA Writing Tool, where the authors may edit and finalize it in collaboration with co-authors and peers and submit it to the Biodiversity Data Journal (BDJ) with another click. Until now, the GBIF metadata have been exported into an RTF file. The new feature will be also part of future Pensoft projects, including the recently announced Research Ideas & Outcomes (RIO) Journal and the forthcoming Ecology and Sustainability Data Journal ..."

"The movement to promote open-access to information published in journals is now well established. However, much of the information we present at conferences is either missed or fails to reach the wider community. Conferences are traditionally closed affairs, limited by time and location, despite recent efforts to stream some of the keynote speeches on the internet. Yet, at large events vast amounts of information are presented through oral papers and posters. However, this communication is mainly linear and the interactive engagement of delegates is proportionally minimal ..."

Frontiers’ financial commitment to open access publishing | Frontiers Blog

Posted: 16 Oct 2015 02:35 AM PDT

"In 2014, the annual cost of traditional, subscription-based scholarly journal publishing was $14 Billion [1]. This money comes mostly from your university libraries, which are supported by the overheads from your grants. Your libraries pay subscription fees, so you can read the journal articles you need to do your research. Open Access does away with subscriptions to allow any reader in the world unrestricted access to scholarly articles. To provide this option, Open Access publishers directly charge the authors an Article Publishing Charge (APC), which authors typically pay from their grants or receive institutional support to cover the cost. The APC generally ranges from $500 to $6,000 with an industry average of around $3,000. Often people wonder "Where does this money go?" In a sentence, your payment covers the cost of producing high-quality publications and keeping this literature freely accessible, discoverable and permanent ..."
