size=3>A European Model for the Digital Publishing of Scientific
Information?<BR><BR>The entire system of scholarly communication is in
transition, <BR>with the emergence of new markets, services and players. Given
<BR>what we know about this digital transition, the technical, <BR>financial and
legal parameters of a future model of publishing <BR>scientific information are
predictable. The contribution of the <BR>Commission of the European Communities
has been to emphasize how <BR>digital access to scientific information is
related to the <BR>digital preservation of the record of scientific publications
and <BR>data; because if digital preservation is undertaken access cannot <BR>be
guaranteed for future innovations. The proposition for the <BR>delineation of a
European model is developed as follows:<BR><BR>1. A digital model may be
developed that results in open access, <BR>while preserving and enhancing the
viability of a variety of <BR>commercial publishing models.<BR><BR>2. The
institutional players in the publishing system, namely <BR>publishers,
repositories and libraries, must be ready to accept a <BR>redistribution of the
key functions of registration, <BR>certification, dissemination, archiving and
navigation in a <BR>manner that plays to the strength of each.<BR><BR>3. The
condition for any successful elaboration of a digital <BR>model is that it is
complementary to the technology and economics <BR>of the internet, while the
litmus test is that it enhances the <BR>impact and re-use of scientific
information.<BR><BR>Open access publishing leads to complementary relationships
<BR>between publishers, libraries and repositories; unrestricted <BR>access and
the widest possible dissemination; and usually <BR>facilitates the creation of
value-added services as an overlay <BR>from platforms, repositories and
libraries. In recent years, a <BR>number of viable full open access publishing
(OAP) models have <BR>emerged: OAP where the author pays, by subscription,
through a <BR>sponsoring consortium, and by way of support and
sponsorship.<BR><BR>Covered initiatives include BMC, Sage-Hindawi, Springer,
SCOAP3, <BR>Science Commons OA law program, DRIVER, PARSE, PEER, NEEO and
<BR>policies of the ERC, NIH and Harvard FAS.<BR><BR>Suggested Citation:
