description
Our mission of disseminating knowledge is only half complete if the information is not made widely and readily available to society. New possibilities of knowledge dissemination not only through the classical form but also and increasingly through the open access paradigm via the Internet have to be supported. We define open access as a comprehensive source of human knowledge and cultural heritage that has been approved by the scientific community.

Information management: a proposal Tim Berners-Lee 1989
Wellcome Trust is having the greatest success at compliance with its open access policy, having the highest percentage (62%) at the 3-year mark. Full data can be found in the DGOA Dataverse (Dec. 31, 2011 full data, 3rd tab).
The Directory of Open Access Journals now has over 7,000 titles, having added a net total of 1,436, for a growth rate of 4 titles per day. Even more remarkable is the growth rate in journals and articles searchable at article level. At growth rates of over 40% in the past year, this illustrates that DOAJ titles are growing in functionality as well as numbers.
In 2011, PLoS ONE topped off this remarkable accomplishment with one that may be even more astounding, having doubled the number of articles published in 2011 over 2010, for a total of just under 14,000 articles published in 2011
There are now more than 2,100 repositories listed in the vetted OpenDOAR, which added new repositories at the rate of 1 per day in 2011. The Registry of Open Access Repositories added about 2 new repositories per day in 2011.

Librarians and scholars frequently complain that large commercial journal publishers use their monopoly power to charge inflated subscription prices (1–3). Dewatripont et al. (4) found that the average listed price of for-profit journals was four times as high as that of nonprofit journals when controlling for age, number of citations, number of articles, language, and discipline. The web site journalprices.com (5) reports that in 2011, on average, subscription prices per article or per citation of for profit publishers are about three times as high as those charged by nonprofit journals in the same academic disciplines

1.a) Resultados de la actividad investigadora
Se valoran conjuntamente publicaciones
—artículos y libros—, congresos y obra artística en los casos en los que
sea la base de la actividad del solicitante. Artículos científicos.
Se distinguen dos categorías:
publicaciones en el Journal Citation Reports, JCR, y otros índices de
referencia en la especialidad, y otras publicaciones científicas
Indicios de calidad: posición en el JCR y
otros índices de referencia en la especialidad, impacto y número de
citas, longitud, número de autores y posición de firma del solicitante en las
disciplinas donde esto se tenga en cuenta, visibilidad internacional. !
Intereses de la industria editorial!
La comunidad investigadora tiene parcialmente atadas las manos mientras no cambien los criterios de evaluación de la actividad investigadora por parte de las agencias nacionales. Son los propios gobiernos los que, más que indirectamente, sustentan este oligopolio de la información científica, evaluando la investigación y a los investigadores y por ende, concediendo ayudas y complementos salariales, al aplicar criterios como el factor de impacto de las revistas en las que se publica. El investigador necesita publicar en revistas con alto factor de impacto porque es lo que le piden las agencias de evaluación y las convocatorias. Y no es difícil adivinar qué editoriales publican estas revistas. (comentario a la entrada “El coste del conocimiento” en el blog Los futuros del libro)
Criterios de evaluación de la actividad investigadora y ciencia de mala calidad
Ideología de la torre de marfil, de la separación entre expertos y amateurs // importancia de la ciencia ciudadana!
