National Publishers

edit

Swiss publishers collaborating with the academia must comply with the rules dictated by the Swiss National Fund and thus make publicly funded works immediately available for free in Open Access. To meet this requirement, most publishers in Switzerland publish two editions of the same work: a paper and a digital version. What is included in these two versions may vary depending on the publishers' attitudes towards open access and their willingness to experiment with alternative forms of publications.

  1. Enriched digital publication: the digital edition is approached as an opportunity to explore alternative forms of publishing and add extra multimedia content not available in the printed version.
  2. Print and digital are the same
  3. Impoverished digital publication: the open access digital publication lacks some of the content that is only available in the printed edition. This is the case with digital versions featuring low resolution images or no images at all due to copyright issues.

Case studies

edit

Publishers play a key role in the successful implementation of the Swiss national Open Access strategy. To ensure their support, the OS-ADM team has selected three national publishers specialising in Arts, Design and Music whose editorial OA policy is be explored as case study.

The first stage of the case study analysis consisted in a structured conversation, recorded and released under CC BY 4.0. Publishers were invited to share their perspectives on OA and provide examples of their OA strategy. The conversations touched the following topics:

  • Current OA policy
  • Successful or challenging case studies of Open Access publications
  • CC licences
  • Impact of national strategy
  • Reasons for releasing books in OA
  • Collaboration with academia
  • Business models
  • The present and near future of publishing regarding Open Access
  • OA literacy
  • OA visibility and impact
  • Different Open Access roads (e.g. green, gold and platinum OA)
  • Dealing with Open Access and images, video, art, design and music?
  • Experiences with alternative forms of digital publications, multimedia publications or experimental formats
