When writing an article an author encounters several moments where he is confronted
with copyright whether he likes it or not or whether he is interested in the topic or
not. Unfamiliarity or lack of interest with copyright can create an unbalance in the
careful package of the balances which copyright is and thus hinder innovation of the
process of scholarly communication.

The role of the secondary publisher is to create a comprehensive, consistently
indexed, easily searchable and widely distributed database of published outputs in a
given subject area. Traditionally, the content provided for inclusion in a secondary
database has been paper-based, with journal articles, books and conferences typically

It seems almost unnecessary to have to elaborate additional reasons for the adoption
of Open Access scholarly communication (OA sc) as manifested through Open Access
journals and self-archiving practices. To those active within the OA arena, the case
has been convincingly made, and current arguments merely need to be disseminated
beyond the Library and Information Science (LIS) sphere....

An academic research paper evolves through various stages during its lifecycle, for
example from early conference presentation through working paper to final published
refereed journal article. Different versions can co-exist in publicly available
electronic form. Finding out researchers’ attitudes towards storing, labelling and
making accessible these different versions, both of their...

The last year has seen wide-spread growth in the idea of using open access
repositories as a part of a research institution's accepted infrastructure. Policy
development from institutions and funding bodies has also supported the growth of the
repository network.
The next stage of expansion will be in the provision of services and cross-repository
facilities and resources. Of course,...

The TARDis project has examined and tackled many practical issues in scaling up from
the current individual departmental scholarly communication practices towards an
active institutional research repository. This repository must, of necessity, serve a
variety of goals for a wide spread of disciplines. We illustrate the steps that
have helped move the University of Southampton’s...

Local publication servers are common and at the same time highly fragmented in

laid a foundation for a widespread introduction of general regulations and standards
concerning electronic publishing and archiving of scientific...

Presentation
Some of the questions raised are:
1. what types of presenting knowledge matter these days - and why?
2. for what type of communities (learning communities, communities focused on
innovation) do they matter? What can be learned from the way science works within the
rich spectrum of disciplines with respect to providing information: is the
scientific method more debate-related or...
