Research Councils UK (RCUK) nous informe que les projets académiques et savants qu’ils financent devront être publiés dans des revues qui adhèrent à leurs standards d’accès libre et devront aussi indiquer comment les données brutes et autres document pourront être obtenus. Ainsi :
he new policy, which will apply to all qualifying publications being submitted for publication from 1 April 2013, states that peer reviewed research papers which result from research that is wholly or partially funded by the Research Councils:
must be published in journals which are compliant with Research Council policy on Open Access, and;
must include details of the funding that supported the research, and a statement on how the underlying research materials such as data, samples or models can be accessed.
Criteria which journals must fulfill to be compliant with the Research Councils’ Open Access policy are detailed within the policy, but include offering a “pay to publish” option or allowing deposit in a subject or institutional repository after a mandated maximum embargo period. In addition, the policy mandates use of the Creative Commons ‘Attribution’ license (CC-BY), when an Article Processing Charge (APC) is levied. The CC-BY licence allows others to modify, build upon and/or distribute the licensed work (including for commercial purposes) as long as the original author is credited.
Je suis heureux pour les contribuables britanniques de travailler vers l’émergence d’une commune de l’information scientifique nationale.

Un articule dans le Library Journal indique qu’un consortium de bibliothèques en Grande-Bretagne (Research Libraries UK) ont créé un outil pour gérer les coûts d’accès à certaines ressources électroniques, vu la pratique de vendre des bouquets de ressources. Selon RLUK:
As budgets become tighter and journal subscription prices increase, it is imperative that libraries look to new metrics to assess value for money. This is especially true in the case of ‘big deals’ – large aggregations of journals from publishers sold as a single package. Some of these packages now cost RLUK members over £1million per year and account for an ever increasing proportion of library budgets. Such deals have proved attractive as they allow libraries to expand the range of titles they provide to users for a relatively small additional fee. But to date RLUK members have lacked a simple way to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of these packages.
At a recent Workshop for members, RLUK unveiled a powerful model that allows members to carefully analyse the value-for-money of publisher packages and to determine whether there would be cost savings to be made from moving back to title-by-title purchasing. The model allows each member to combine pricing information with the usage their community makes of the relevant journals. The library can then alter the combination of title-by-title subscriptions and document delivery options and compare the costs of these combinations to the cost of the big deals.

Le gouvernement du Royaume-Uni a mandaté Professor Ian Hargreaves pour effectuer une analyse de son système de propriété intellectuelle, dont le rapport, intitulé Digital Opportunity, the Review of Intellectual Property and Growth vient d’être dévoilé. À date, le rapport jouit d’une réception chaleureuse, à en juger des commentaires provenant de Francis Gurry, le directeur général de l’Organisation mondiale de la propriété intellectuelle. Entre autres solutions, le professeur recommande la création d’un “digital exchange” (un marché ou une bourse d’échange) pour faciliter le recours aux licences d’utilisation du contenu. Il présente également une réflexion intéressante sur les exceptions au droit d’auteur (The Guardian, un quotidien du RU présente le cas de la parodie).
Sur un autre ordre d’idée, j’en profite pour vous faire part d’un site internet du RU: “IPR and Licensing module” du JISC (ou Joint Information Systems Committee, une association d’universités du pays), qui traite des questions de licences en propriété intellectuelle.

Du nouveau de la British Library, un rapport concernant le droit d’auteur et la recherche : “Driving UK Research – Is copyright a help or a hindrance?” (PDF)
Released [on July 22nd] a new report from the research community, compiled by the British Library, looks at the UK’s existing intellectual property framework – reflecting the challenges researchers face on a daily basis and highlighting a consensus across all sectors on the need for reform to meet the demands of a modernising world.
Sourced directly from researchers this report presents a ‘grassroots view’ of the current copyright framework in the UK. Looking at the barriers they encounter on a daily basis, the contributors’ feedback not only highlights the obstructions to creativity but also puts forward proposals for reforming UK intellectual property legislation to reflect the needs of today’s researcher.
Dame Lynne Brindley, Chief Executive of the British Library:
“Underpinning research in the UK, the British Library presents this report on behalf of the research community, raising their thoughts and ideas on how to create a copyright system fit for the future. We hope it will provide a useful contribution to the debate.”
This report has been published under a Creative Commons licence, enabling others to copy, distribute, and make derivative non-commercial works. All future uses of the material contained within this report must but appropriately attributed and shared under the same licence agreement as the original publication.

L’histoire date de la première loi sur le droit d’auteur en Grande-Bretagne en 1708, mais les faits sont ironiquement similaire à la rhétorique contemporaine. Il est question d’intérêts économiques, de pirates et d’avancées technologiques. L’article suivant traite de la première cause en justice à propos du droit d’auteur:
Gomez-Arostegui, Tomas, The Untold Story of the First Copyright Suit Under the Statute of Anne in 1710 (March 16, 2010). Lewis & Clark Law School Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2010-11. Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1572177
