General
The University Mozarteum Salzburg has been a signatory of the Berlin Declaration since 2018 and is thus committed to its underlying goals. The Berlin Declaration formulates the "vision of a comprehensive and freely accessible representation of knowledge" on the Internet. This includes creating free equal access for all people to scientific publications. Dissemination and editing possibilities, "sustainability, interactivity and transparency" should guarantee this open access. Free licenses such as the open CC licenses CC BY and CC BY-SA enable a legally secured implementation of this vision.
Social responsibility:
In its Open Access Policy, the University Mozarteum Salzburg describes free access to scientific publications as part of its social responsibility. Therefore, the University Mozarteum recommends that authors secure at least the right of secondary publication in the institutional repository in their publishing contracts.
"The University Mozarteum Salzburg sees the free and equal access of all people to scientific publications as part of its social responsibility." (Open Access Policy of the University Mozarteum, published on 17.10.2018)
In the Open Access Policy, the University Mozarteum explains how this open access to scientific publications is made possible as part of social responsibility by means of repositories, open access publication funds and journal servers.it also recommends that authors secure the rights of exploitation, reproduction and, above all, the right to make their work available online in the institutional repository by contract (see below under "Contract and Publication").
The responsible office for all Open Access matters is the library and can be reached at open.access@moz.ac.at if you have any questions.
The information platform open-access.net was created in 2007 as a joint project of the universities of FU Berlin, Göttingen, Konstanz and Bielefeld and provides basic information on Open Access as well as practical implementation tips.
The Open Science Network Austria (OANA) is a think tank on the topic of Open Science, which aims to exchange ideas, coordinate and network initiatives, and develop recommendations on Open Science. Within the framework of working groups, different topics on Open Science are dealt with, for example also on legal issues, and the results are presented at the annual network meeting. The OANA website describes the working groups and reports on the respective outputs, publications and Open Science events in Austria.
Open Access is the making available of content on the internet without financial, legal and technical barriers. Interested parties can read the full texts:
- read
- download
- copy
- distribute
- search in them
- refer to them
- use them in any legal way
- change/add to them with the appropriate licence
For this purpose, the contents are provided with licences that regulate the free subsequent and further use, reproduction, distribution or even modification.
Advantages:
- Increased visibility
- Increased citation frequency
- Increased exchange
- Increased research efficiency and higher scientific output
- Long-term availability
Caveats:
- Lower reputation when publishing in new open access publishers and lower quality of review and supervision. However, many traditional publishers now also offer the option of open access publication.
- The current financing model of Open Access publishing has replaced the traditional pay-to-read with pay-to-say. This gives preference to the scholarly output of those countries that can support the payment of APCs (Article Processing Charges) and BPCs (Book Processing Charges), for example through Open Access Publication Funds. Scientists from economically weak countries are disadvantaged in the publication of their results.
Open Access Publishing
Works can be published open access via the Mozarteum's institutional repository. The prerequisite is that an open access agreement (details in the glossary under contract addendum & Publications) has been made with the publisher, which secures the rights to the author's own, non-commercial publication.
General
- Be sure to choose a reputable publisher and beware of predatory publishers (for details, see the glossary on Open Access). A list of publishers with whom members of the Mozarteum University have had good experiences so far can be found in the Open Access Publication Fund section under Funding.
- As far as financing is concerned, printing subsidies can be arranged via the department management. An Open Access Publication Fund is available for open access publications.
- To comply with the procurement guideline, please send the draft contract to the library. We will check whether the necessary voucher copy for the library and the acknowledgement have been agreed.
- Please send the signed publishing contract to the Economics Department (currently Christian Seidl) and CC to the library.
- Invoices regarding printing subsidy should be separate from an invoice for APC/BPC (article/book processing charges). The invoice for the open access charge should be addressed to the university library s office.
- After publication of the work please send a voucher copy to the library, if open access publication has been agreed upon, also the corresponding PDF.
Contracts
Contracts with the publisher should generally allow for open access publication, even if no immediate open access publication is planned Either an APC/BPC (article/book proccessing charges) has been paid for it or it is stipulated in the contract that the work may be published (after a certain period of time) on a non-commercial platform (e.g. the repository ). In this case, the granting of a CC license has also been agreed.
For details see below in the section "Contract addendum & Publications".
A repository is an institutional platform for providing and archiving online publications and digitized content.
The University Library thus offers researchers at the Mozarteum University the opportunity to publish their publications in digital form. All documents are permanently archived and provided with a citable link.
The repository enables research (including full text) and access to a variety of digital resources around the clock. In addition to the publications of university members, digitized library holdings as well as graphics from the Institute for Game Research are available via the repository. Works from the repository can also be searched via the library catalog.
The prerequisite is that one is the author of a work and has the rights to publish the work in open access. If excerpts and/or adaptations of other works were included in the work, this was done within the framework and on the basis of free use of the work. If a free use of the work was not relevant, the consent of the respective rights holder for the use of the foreign work or part of the work, in particular the right of reproduction, making available and the right of editing, was obtained.
An APC (article processing charge) or BPC (book processing charge) is an open access fee paid to the publisher to make the article or book open access, i.e. free of charge.
The University Mozarteum pays the publication fees for its members for open access publications, provided that the stated eligibility criteria (under Open Access Publication Fund ) are met. The most important criteria are that the applicant is the corresponding author of the work and that the right to open access publication has been agreed with the publisher.
The application is submitted via the library's open access application form.
ORCID
ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a globally established identifier for authors for unique identification. ORCID also facilitates the electronic assignment of publications to their authors and, due to the specification of the university, the automatic assignment of the university affiliation. The latter is important, among other things, for the payment of APCs via the publication fund.
The goal is to establish this identification number as the de facto standard for author identification of scientific publications. They are already mandatory for FWF applications.
ORCID is organized by the non-profit organization Open Researcher Contributor Identification Initiative. Among the founding members of the initiative are research organizations (e.g. EMBO, CERN) and scientific publishing groups (e.g. Elsevier, Nature Publishing Group, Springer). The fact that the ORCID server is located in the USA is often criticized, since European data in the USA are not subject to their data protection regulations. The establishment of a European server has therefore been discussed by ORCID for some time. ORCID-iDs are intended to facilitate the electronic assignment of publications and other research activities and products to researchers. This is not possible with certainty on the basis of personal names alone, as different authors may have the same names. In addition, names may change or different spelling variants may make unambiguous attribution more difficult. Besides ORCID-ID and name, affiliation and publications can also be made visible.
Free registration:
Registration is free of charge. Name, publication/lecture lists, university affiliation and curriculum vitae can be entered and accessed, for example, when applying for a job. The data can be blocked for viewing or given different scopes.
