Presentation Transcript

  1. CERN is not alone! • Among others we have: • Max Planck Gesellschaft (MPG) • Research Council UK (RCUK) • Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA) • … and CAST of course! Open Access How is astroparticle physics situated? Champion in self archiving A few relevant OA journals exist Many core journals behind unreasonable high subscription barriers

  2. Open Access Fame versus accessibility…? Particle Physics: The first axion? Steve Lamoreaux Nature 441, 31-32 (4 May 2006) Open access and citation impact The Open Citation Project

  3. Open Access What do we have? When will JCAP convert? • Journals • Instrumentation • Journal of Instrumentation (SISSA/IOP) • Physics • New journal of physics (IOP/DPG) • EPJ A direct and EPJ C direct (Springer) • J. Astrophys. Astron. (Indian Acad. Sci.) • Living Reviews in Solar Physics (Max Planck)

  4. Open Access What do we have? • Conference proceedings • PoS - Proceedings of Science (SISSA) • Journal of Physics: Conference Series (IOP) • eProceedings (World Sci.) • eConf: Electronic Conference Proceedings Archive (SLAC) • InDiCo (CERN) • CERN Yellow Reports (CERN)

  5. Open Access What do we have? • Old stuff made available in open access • Science • Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. (USA) (v.1 1915 -2004) • Physics • Gallica (i.e. Annalen der Physik (v.1 1799-1930)) • Astronomy and astrophysics • NASA ADS (i.e. Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. (v.1 1827-2002))

  6. Open Access Hybrid models • American Institute of Physics • Author Select:1500 $/article • Springer • Open Choice: 3000 $/article

  7. OA - Authors own interest • Visibility • OA journals are available to everybody • Impact • OA articles cited more often • Recognition • New impact measures in progress • Librarians request: • Support pioneering OA journals • Submit papers (i.e.JCAP, JINST, NJP) • Long-term archiving • Submit preprints to institutional repositories

  8. Balloon (30 Km) Open Access Making the data available? CD stack with 1 year LHC data! (~ 20 Km) E-Science and open access Tony Hey: “The purpose of the UK e-Science initiative is to allow scientists to do 'faster, better or different' research.” OECD report on access to data: “ …publicly funded research data should be openly available to the maximum extent possible.” CAST: Let the data free! CERN Courier, 43, 4 (2003) CERN involvement: important signal effect LHC data complex to offer … Data pre-processing requires resources In the case of CAST: a good student full time Concorde (15 Km) Mt. Blanc (4.8 Km)

  9. Magic moment The OA discussion is burning … Not too quickly We should take our time, 6 months sooner or later makes little difference Not too slowly We will have a hard time simply to follow what we have initiated ourselves ….
