RoMEO Studies 6: Rights metadata for open-archiving
No full textThis is the final study in a series of six emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open-archiving) which investigated the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) issues relating to academic author self-archiving of research papers. It reports the results of a survey of 542 academic authors showing the level of protection required for their open-access research papers. It then describes the selection of an appropriate means of expressing those rights through metadata and the resulting choice of Creative Commons licences. Finally it outlines proposals for communicating rights metadata via the Open Archives Initiative’s Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH)
RoMEO Studies 2: How academics wish to protect their open-access research paper
No full textThis paper is the second in a series of studies (see Gadd, E., C. Oppenheim, and S. Probets. RoMEO Studies 1: The impact of copyright ownership on author-self-archiving. Journal of Documentation. 59(3) 243-277) emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open-archiving). It considers the protection for research papers afforded by UK copyright law, and by e-journal licences. It compares this with the protection required by academic authors for open-access research papers as discovered by the RoMEO academic author survey. The survey used the Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL) as a framework for collecting views from 542 academics as to the permissions, restrictions, and conditions they wanted to assert over their works. Responses from self-archivers and non-archivers are compared. Concludes that most academic authors are primarily interested in preserving their moral rights, and that the protection offered research papers by copyright law is way in excess of that required by most academics. It also raises concerns about the level of protection enforced by e-journal licence agreement
RoMEO Studies 4: An analysis of Journal publishers' Copyright Agreements
No full textThis article is the fourth in a series of six emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open archiving). It describes an analysis of 80 scholarly journal publishers’ copyright agreements with a particular view to their effect on author self-archiving. 90% of agreements asked for copyright transfer and 69% asked for it prior to refereeing the paper. 75% asked authors to warrant that their work had not been previously published although only two explicitly stated that they viewed self-archiving as prior publication. 28.5% of agreements provided authors with no usage rights over their own paper. Although 42.5% allowed self-archiving in some format, there was no consensus on the conditions under which self-archiving could take place. The article concludes that author-publisher copyright agreements should be reconsidered by a working party representing the needs of both partie
RoMEO Studies 5: IPR issues for OAI Data and Service Providers
No full textThis paper is the fifth in a series of studies emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open-archiving). It reports the results of two surveys of OAI Data Providers (DPs) and Service Providers (SPs) with regards to the rights issues they face. It finds that very few DPs have rights agreements with depositing authors and that there is no standard approach to the creation of rights metadata. The paper considers the rights protection afforded individual and collections of metadata records under UK Law and contrasts this with DP and SP’s views on the rights status of metadata and how they wish to protect it. The majority of DP and SPs believe that a standard way of describing both the rights status of documents and of metadata would be usefu
Tra follia e realismo magico. La produzione narrativa di Domenico Dara
No full textIl volume è una monografia interamente dedicata a Domenico
Dara, scrittore che pone al centro delle proprie rappresentazioni
letterarie la Calabria e le sue origini magnogreche. Caterina
Romeo riflette su alcuni dei temi fondamentali per l’autore,
come la follia e la magia che pervadono i territori raccontati da
Dara, e sulla lingua che lui inventa per narrarle. Attraverso una
comparazione con altri testi e autori italiani e stranieri, Romeo
mette in luce gli elementi di realismo magico presenti nei
romanzi dello scrittore, sottolineando le componenti mitiche e
quelle realistiche che in essi convivono, in un’esplorazione di
luoghi e personaggi.
Tra follia e realismo magico, grazie anche ai contatti e ai confronti
diretti tra l’autrice e lo scrittore, si pone come la prima
monografia completa su Domenico Dara, che restituisce una
voce alle terre del Sud Italia e ai personaggi e alle forze che vi si
muovono

RoMEO Studies 3: How academics expect to use open-access research papers
No full textThis paper is the third in a series of studies emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open-archiving). It considers previous studies of the usage of electronic journal articles through a literature survey. It then reports on the results of a survey of 542 academic authors as to how they expected to use open-access research papers. This data is compared with results from the second of the RoMEO Studies series as to how academics wished to protect their open-access research papers. The ways in which academics expect to use open-access works (including activities, restrictions and conditions) are described. It concludes that academics-as-users do not expect to perform all the activities with open-access research papers that academics-as-authors would allow. Thus the rights metadata proposed by the RoMEO Project would appear to meet the usage requirements of most academics
Sperimentazioni linguistiche e meditazioni sulla follia nei romanzi di Domenico Dara
No full textNel presente articolo analizzo la produzione romanzesca di Domenico Dara, scrittore del
tutto originale che crea sofisticate architetture narrative attraverso una modalità profondamente
poetica. Al centro delle sue narrazioni c’è la Calabria, sua regione natìa e luogo
di ambientazione dei tre romanzi, raccontata in modi molto lontani da rappresentazioni
convenzionali e stereotipate. L’analisi che qui propongo si sofferma sugli elementi di continuità
e di intertestualità presenti nei romanzi, e in particolare sulla creazione da parte
dell’autore di una lingua d’espressione del tutto personale e sulla centralità del tema della
follia nel suo immaginario e nella sua scrittura.
Experimental Language and Meditations on Madness in Domenico Dara’s Novels
In the present article, I analyze Domenico Dara’s three novels, their complex architectures
and the poetic mode deployed in the narratives examined. The southern region
of Calabria – where Dara was born and raised and where his narrations take place – is
at the core of the novels and is depicted in ways that are distant from stereotypical and
conventional representations of Southern Italy. The analysis that I articulate in this text
scrutinizes the elements of continuity and intertextuality in Dara’s novels, in particular
the creation of an experimental language and the diffused presence of mental illness in
Dara’s imaginary and narratives.
Keywords: contemporary Italian literature, madness, subalternity of Southern Italy, Calabrese

Longitudinal assessment of perceptual-motor abilities in pre-school preterm children
No full textObjective: To verify the value of early perceptual-motor assessment in preterms.
Methods: The M-ABC2 was performed below the age 3 years-4 months and 1 year later.
Results: At 4 years children showed a significant improvement in the scores and reduced rate of refusals.
Conclusion: Early findings may be related to delayed maturation
