- Enabling and Sustaining Collaborative Innovation
(source: RePEc, 13/06/08)
This paper extends the principles of open source software development to a non-industry-specific level by introducing the Open Source Innovation (OSI) model. OSI exhibits main differences to other related models and concepts such as the private-collective model, commons-based peer production, R&D networks and is therefore an innovation model in its own right. In order for OSI projects to be successful, numerous factors need to be fulfilled. We make the distinction between four categories of factors: economic, technical, legal, and social. In each category, we differentiate between enabling and sustaining factors. The enabling factors must be met at the beginning of the project, whereas the sustaining factors must be satisfied as the project progresses.

Dans un entretien, Jens Vigen, Responsable du Service de l'Information Scientifique et directeur de la bibliothèque du CERN, parle du projet SCOAP3. Il revient sur sa genèse et explique notamment son modèle de financement. Il aborde plus largement le libre accès avec les problèmes de l'évaluation et des droits d'auteur.

- Why Provide OA Funding Rather Than Providing OA?
(source: Open Access Archivangelism, 24/06/08)
If I live to be a hundred, never will I understand why we prefer providing funds for our OA publications rather than providing OA for all our publications (at the cost of only a few keystrokes)...
It is splendid that University of Calgary has found $100,000 to fund OA for those U of C authors who wish to publish their articles in OA journals, but why does U of C not first mandate that those U of C authors who publish in any journal whatsoever provide OA to their articles, by self-archiving them in their own OA institutional repository (as, for example, Harvard and 21 other universities have already done)?
