Giro alla lista perchè di interesse. Anche noi in Italia abbiamo il
problema di un Sherpa Romeo italico e anche noi, come i francesi,
corriamo il rischio che sia sotto il controllo AIE o similaria.
Cordiali saluti

Oggetto: [GOAL] Some questions about Heloise the French Romeo Sherpa site

We all know the Romeo Sherpa web site (http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/ )
where academics display the policies of hundreds of international
publishers on author deposit of articles in open archives at various
stages of the workflow in the scientific research/publication cycle.
These criteria have been defined by the academic world and are related
to the explanation of good practice for making research results accessible.
One might have expected that Héloïse (http://heloise.ccsd.cnrs.fr/)
would be a French version of Romeo Sherpa, but it is decidedly not. As
recalled by Ghislaine Chartron (see extract hereafter) it is under the
control of French commercial publishers (FCP). On a public server (see
hereafter) FCP develop their own viewpoints. FCP set up their own
criteria in a way that tends to dictate to researchers how they should
publish and communicate their results, see for example the policy for
the journal "Revue d'histoire littéraire de la France" (left menu
"Auteurs" > "Rechercher une revue") where they express their view not
only on Open archives but also on personal websites and even Intranets
(with a five year embargo) !
A large majority of French commercial publishers have never been listed
in Romeo Sherpa.
Relying on the usual pretext of French Language or difference,
convenient when leading an autarchic policy which seeks public funding
for their commercial business, FCP negotiated the opening of the Heloise
site with the French Minister of Research. They may have done it through
the GFII consortium, where private institutions are predominant, but
also, very surprisingly, a consortium in which one of the heads of the
CNRS (Centre Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique ; a very large
public research institution in France) sits on the governing body
(http://www.gfii.fr/fr/legfii/conseil-d-administration ).
In addition, it should be noted that Heloise web site is hosted by the
public institution CCSD (http://ccsd.cnrs.fr/, governed by the CNRS)
which controls and manages HAL (http://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/), the
main national open archive, upon which many other open archives depend.
In order to come back to a situation where the publication /
dissemination of research results is under the responsibility of
researchers, we suggest that the design and control of Heloise should be
entirely in the hands of a scientific committe composed exclusively of
researchers and academics.
This committee may ask all scientific publishers what their policies are
on author deposit of articles into open archives according to Romeo /
Sherpa classification. This information can then be translated and
incorporated into Romeo. The site should mainly display information
about good practice for providing open access to research results. It
may also emphasize the necessity for editorial boards of research
journals to require publishers to adopt copyright agreements (such as
http://scholars.sciencecommons.org/ ), i.e. agreements where authors
keep full rights over their production.

March 2012 ***************
Le groupe du GFII-SNE qui a réuni éditeurs et documentalistes connait
bien l'initiative Sherpa, le projet Héloïse a été conçu pour palier
certaines lacunes de Sherpa:
1. Ce sont les éditeurs qui déposent dans Héloïse et certifient
l'information (et non dans Sherpa)
2. Héloïse a introduit un ensemble d'options demandées par les éditeurs
et non présentes dans Sherpa
