Digital.CSIC celebrates Open Access Week 2009
The International Open Access Week 2009 will be held worldwide on the week Oct 19-23, in order to "broaden awareness and understanding of Open Access to research, including access policies from all types of research funders, within the international higher education community and the general public". Along the week the Digital.CSIC will be asking CSIC researchers for at least one deposit of their most recent publications, be it through self-archiving or via the Mediated Deposit Service.
Restricted-access items in Digital.CSIC
From Oct 20 it is now possible to label restricted-access items in Digital.CSIC, so that those documents in the repository not yet available Open Access can be clearly identified by users. The papers' full-text version may only be accessed if the user has a running suscription to the publisher's contents. Our intention is always supplying Open Access to any paper available in Digital.CSIC, but this option allows Digital.CSIC to provide bibliographic records -plus a link to the publisher's version- for papers by CSIC authors as soon as they get published.
