Strategies for publishers to make scholarly metadata openly available | Septentrio Conference Series

Research information, or scholarly metadata, is important for decision making around strategic priorities, distribution of resources, and evaluation of researchers and institutions. It is also used by funders, institutions and governments to assess the effect of policies, and by researchers and societal stakeholders to find and assess research results. The value of openly available research information is increasingly recognized, as it supports fair research assessment and makes it possible for everyone to find and assess relevant research.

The Route to an Open Scholarly Ecosystem Runs through CC BY

Some publishers have sought to leverage more restrictive licenses to gain commercial control of open access works. Soft mandates for the CC BY license could help.
