Biology Scholarly Communication Choices and Values
-
Ways authors can create conditions for increasing access to research content:
- by using the SPARC author addendum http://www.arl.org/sparc/author/addendum.html with all publishing contracts or changing the publishers’ contract in their own way.
- by posting their corrected manuscripts in institutional digital repositories like ours, CODA http://library.caltech.edu/digital/ …, that comply with open access initiative http://www.soros.org/openaccess/ protocols
- by using Creative Commons licenses http://creativecommons.org embedded in their works that they put up on the net.
- by selecting only those journals that are responsible in pricing; see http://journalprices.com/.
