Open access self-archiving: An author study
No full textThis, our second author international, cross-disciplinary study on open access had 1296 respondents. Its focus was on self-archiving. Almost half (49%) of the respondent population have self-archived at least one article during the last three years. Use of institutional repositories for this purpose has doubled and usage has increased by almost 60% for subject-based repositories. Self-archiving activity is greatest amongst those who publish the largest number of papers. There is still a substantial proportion of authors unaware of the possibility of providing open access to their work by self-archiving. Of the authors who have not yet self-archived any articles, 71% remain unaware of the option. With 49% of the author population having self-archived in some way, this means that 36% of the total author population (71% of the remaining 51%), has not yet been appraised of this way of providing open access. Authors have frequently expressed reluctance to self-archive because of the perceived time required and possible technical difficulties in carrying out this activity, yet findings here show that only 20% of authors found some degree of difficulty with the first act of depositing an article in a repository, and that this dropped to 9% for subsequent deposits. Another author worry is about infringing agreed copyright agreements with publishers, yet only 10% of authors currently know of the SHERPA/RoMEO list of publisher permissions policies with respect to self-archiving, where clear guidance as to what a publisher permits is provided. Where it is not known if permission is required, however, authors are not seeking it and are self-archiving without it. Communicating their results to peers remains the primary reason for scholars publishing their work; in other words,
researchers publish to have an impact on their field. The vast majority of authors (81%) would willingly comply with a mandate from their employer or research funder to deposit copies of their articles in an institutional or subject-based repository. A further 13% would comply reluctantly; 5% would not comply with such a mandate

In a separate exercise we asked the American Physical Society (APS) and the Institute of Physics Publishing Ltd (IOPP) what their experiences have been over the 14 years that arXiv has been in existence. How many subscriptions have been lost as a result of arXiv? Both societies said they could not identify any losses of subscriptions for this reason and that they do not view arXiv as a threat to their business (rather the opposite -- this in fact the APS helped establish an arXiv mirror site at the Brookhaven National Laboratory)
ISC/OSI Journal Authors Survey Report
No full textOn behalf of the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) and the Open Society Institute (OSI) a survey of journal authors has been carried out by Key Perspectives Ltd. The terms of reference were to poll a cohort of authors who had published on an open access basis and another cohort of authors who had published their work in conventional journals without making the article available on open access. The survey’s aims were to investigate the authors’ awareness of new open access possibilities, the ease of identification of and submission to open access outlets, their experiences of publishing their work in this way, their concerns about any implications open access publishing may have upon their careers, and the reasons why (or not) they chose to publish through an open access outlet

LINKING UK REPOSITORIES: Technical and organisational models to support user-oriented services across institutional and other digital repositories. SCOPING STUDY REPORT
No full textThe JISC commissioned the project partners to undertake a scoping study whose aim is to identify sustainable technical and organisational models to support user-oriented services across digital repositories. Open access repositories of interest to UK further and higher education communities were cited as having particular relevance. The study is intended to inform strategies to support access and use of repositories, with a view to the establishment of a national repository services infrastructure or framework
Recovery of modernist architecture in the Colombian Caribbean, through the rediscovery of architectural archives. The case of the domestic architecture of Miguel Farah Zakzuk
No full textThe present research aims to study the phenomenon of
modernism in the Caribbean region of Colombia through
architecture archives as documentation and tools of graphic
representation. Considering that this territory is home
to a large number of modernist works that continue to be
discovered today, thanks to recent publications that have
unveiled the work of authors who were instrumental in
modernizing the different cities of the Caribbean through
architecture, leaving a significant impact on the region.
Therefore, just as the modernist lessons of Colombian
and foreign masters have long been studied in major cities
such as Bogotá and Medellín, the intention is to also continue
this investigation into the Caribbean territory, where
new authors emerge, leaving behind an important modernist
architectural legacy and in some cases also a graphical
heritage. In this way, a research on the architecture of Miguel
Farah Zakzuk begins, who was one of the young architects
of the mid-20th century responsible for generating
a syncretic fusion between traditional language, tailored to
the specific conditions of the Caribbean tropics, and the
new emerging modern style of the time, which allowed
for new ways of conceiving and constructing architecture.
The rediscovery and consistent exploration of an unpublished
graphic archive containing part of the professional work
of the studied author, together with architectural surveys, elements
of graphic representation, and oral sources, allowed
the initiation of this investigative work where the design
methods of architect Miguel Farah are analyzed to conceive
the new architecture of the mid-20th century in Caribbean
cities, maintaining the essence of the tropical spirit in
his works, under the international style that was in full swing
Zur sprachlichen Kreativität Alma M. Karlins - nachgewiesen an Phraseolexemen und satzwertigen Phraseologismen in 'Windlichter des Todes. Roman aus Siam' (1933)
No full textPhraseolexemes and sentence-like phraseologisms taken from the novel 'Windlichter des Todes. Roman aus Siam' (1933) prove that Alma M. Karlin is rightly known as a linguistically creative author. It can be shown that Karlin often uses patterns of occasionalisms (modifications and neologisms) to support the aesthetic and artistic value of the novel

ALMA KARLIN – AN EXTRAORDINARY WRITER
No full textČlanek se ukvarja s svojevrstno pisateljsko osebnostjo Almo M. Karlin, rojeno v Celju, ki je bila poliglotka in avtorica številnih potopisov ter drugih literarnih del. Ta dela je, čeprav hči slovenskih staršev, napisala v nemščini in z njimi v času pred drugo svetovno vojno dosegla mednaro- dno slavo. Bila je posebna ne le kot literarna ustvarjalka, temveč tudi kot upornica zoper ženske stereotipe svojega obdobja. Svet je prepotovala v času, ko je bilo samotno potovanje za žensko, ki se preživlja s pisanjem, nekaj popolnoma neobičajnega. Kot avtorica, ki je izvirala iz slovenskega okolja, a je pisala v nemškem jeziku, pa predstavlja tudi zanimiv primer medkulturne identitete. S svojimi literarnimi deli, od katerih večina ostaja še vedno neraziskanih, je kršila najrazličnejše klišeje in tabuje, zato jo uvrščamo med tiste osebnosti, ki so s svojo vztrajnostjo in ustvarjalnim pogumom zaznamovale 20. stoletje.
This article is concerned with a peculiar author, Alma Karlin, born in Celje. She was a polyglot and an author of numerous travelogues and other literary works. Although Alma Karlin was the daughter of Slovenian par- ents, she wrote in German, and before the second World War her work became internationally recognised and famous. Still, even in postmodern times, she represents an interesting case of intercultural identity. Alma Karlin was also an eternal rebel against female stereotypes in her own time. She has travelled the world in times, when this was considered rath- er odd and unusual for a self-employed female writer. With her literary works, many still unexplored, Alma Karlin broke numerous clichés and taboos. That is why she can be classified as one those special, persistent and courageous personas and writers that characterised the 20th century
