Good point, ibu Yuni. Mungkin ada bagusnya rekan-rekan juga memperhatikan Open Access (OA) ini. Ijinkan saya menyampaikan sedikit ulasan tentang OA.
-----------------
Open Access atau dapat diterjemahkan sebagai Akses Bebas adalah sebuah fenomena masa kini yang berkaitan dengan dua hal: keberadaan teknologi digital dan akses ke artikel jurnal ilmiah dalam bentuk digital. Internet dan pembuatan artikel jurnal secara digital telah memungkinkan perluasan dan kemudahan akses, dan kenyataan inilah yang ikut melahirkan Open Access (disingkat OA), atau lebih tepatnya Gerakan OA (Open Access Movement).

Secara lebih spesifik, OA merujuk ke aneka literatur digital yang tersedia secara terpasang (online), gratis (free of charge), dan terbebas dari semua ikatan atau hambatan hak cipta atau lisensi.Artinya, ada sebuah penyedia yang meletakkan berbagai berkas, dansetiap berkas itu disediakan untuk siapa saja yang dapat mengakses.Berdasarkan pengertian itu, maka OA otomatis juga membebaskan hambatan akses yang biasanya muncul karena biaya (entah itu biayaberlangganan, biaya lisensi, atau membayar-setiap-melihat alias pay-per-view fees). Selain itu, OA juga menghilangkan hambatan yangtimbul karena perijinan sebagaimana yang ada dalam setiap karya yang dilindungi hak cipta.

Dalam praktiknya, terdapat pula keragaman dalam hal-hal yang dibebaskan. Misalnya, ada penyedia OA yang tidak peduli apakah berkas yang diambil dari tempat mereka akan dipakai untuk tujuan komersial atau tidak. Ada juga penyedia yang melarang penggunaan untuk kepentingan komersial. Sebagian penyedia menyediakan karya-karya salinan, sebagian lagi hanya menyediakan karya orisinal. Namun, apapun perbedaannya, semua penyedia OA sepakat bahwa berkas digital yang mereka miliki harus terbebas dari hambatan harga dan perijinan.

Ide tentang OA tidak dapat dilepaskan dari tiga "gerakan" ataukesepakatan yang melibatkan ratusan institusi informasi, yaitu:

Budapest Open Access Initiative (Februari 2002) - lihat http://www.soros.org/openaccess/
(perhatikan bahwa ini adalahorganisasi yang didanai Soros. Do you know him?)
Bethesda Principles (Juni 2003) - lihathttp://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/bethesda.htm
Berlin Decleration (Oktober 2003)http://oa.mpg.de/openaccess-berlin/berlindeclaration.html

Budapest Open Access Initiative mendefinisikan OA dalam kalimat ini:

"By 'open access' , we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute,print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawlthem for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for anyother lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriersother than those inseparable from gaining access to the internetitself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and theonly role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authorscontrol over the integrity of their work and the right to be properlyacknowledged and cited."

Saya terjemahkan secara bebas:

Dengan `open access'.. yang kami maksudkan adalah ketersediaan artikel-artikel secara cuma-cuma di Internet, agar memungkinkan semua orang membaca, mengambil, menyalin, menyebarkan, mencetak, menelusur,atau membuat kaitan dengan artikel-artikel tersebut secara sepenuhnya, menjelajahinya untuk membuat indeks, menyalurkannya sebagai data masukan ke perangkat lunak, atau menggunakannya untukberbagai keperluan yang tidak melanggar hukum, tanpa harus menghadapi hambatan finansial, legal, atau teknis selain hambatan-hambatan yang tidak dapat dilepaskan dari kemampuan mengakses Internet itu sendiri. Satu-satunya pembatasan dalam hal reproduksi dan distribusi, dan satu-satunya peranan hak cipta dalam bidang ini, seharusnya hanya dalam bentuk pemberian hak kepada penulis untuk menentukan integritas artikel yang ditulisnya dan pemberian penghargaan kepadanya dalam bentuk pengutipan.

Inisiatif yang ditandangani di Budapest itu juga menyatakan bahwa sipengarang (atau pengarang-pengarang) dan pemegang hak cipta dari sebuah artikel secara sadar menghibahkan hak permanen bagi pengguna untuk mengakses artikelnya. Selain itu juga memberikan lisensi kepada pengguna untuk menyalin, menggunakan, menyebarkan, mengirim, dan menyajikan karyanya kepada umum. Sementara pernyataan-pernyataan di Bethesda dan Berlin secara hampir serupa menandaskan bahwa pemeganghak cipta sebuah karya yang akan diberi status OA membuat pernyataan mengijinkan semua orang "menyalin, menggunakan, menyebarkan, mengirimdan menampilkan sebuah karya kepada umum, termasuk membuat karya turunannya, dalam segala medium digital". Bersamaan itu, juga ditegaskan bahwa harus ada penghargaan yang memadai bagi pengarang (proper attribution of authorship).

Dengan definisi seperti di atas, maka pada dasarnya, OA juga tidak dapat dikatakan bertentangan dengan prinsip hak cipta. Landasan hukum yang digunakan untuk OA biasanya adalah ijin resmi yang diberikan (consent) oleh pemegang hak cipta, atau pernyataan bahwa literaturyang bersangkutan adalah milik umum (public domain). Karena sudah mendapat ijin dari si empunya hak cipta, maka sebuah karya yang berstatus OA sebenarnya tidak melakukan penghapusan, perubahan, atau pelanggaran undang-undang tentang hak cipta. Dalam hal ini, maka OA juga bekerja dengan prinsip kesukarelaan dari pihak pencipta danpemegang hak cipta.

Hal lain yang juga segera terlihat dalam prinsip OA ini adalahkerelaan pencipta atau pemilik hak cipta untuk tidak memperoleh imbalan uang (misalnya dalam bentuk royalti) bagi karyanya. Dalamkonteks penggunaan teknologi digital dan jaringan Internet, makaprinsip untuk tidak mengharapkan royalti ini akan mengurangi biayayang harus dikeluarkan oleh penyedia jasa OA atau penerbit. Secara alamiah, prinsip tanpa royalti ini segera cocok untuk bidang penerbitan karya ilmiah, sebab sebenarnya banyak karya ilmiah yangdimuat di jurnal tanpa imbalan royalti. Para akademisi dan ilmuwan pada umumnya memang tidak menulis artikel ilmiah untuk mencari uang,melainkan untuk mencari pengakuan dan untuk memperluas jaringan pengetahuan mereka. Dengan demikian, sebenarnya gerakan OA tidakterlalu berbeda dari kondisi komunikasi ilmiah yang selama ini sudahada. Berbeda dengan para pencipta musik atau pembuat film cerita,yang mungkin akan sangat berkeberatan jika karya mereka dimasukkan kedalam kategori OA.

Prinsip OA juga segera "mengena" untuk kegiatan-kegiatan riset yangdibiayai oleh negara atau masyarakat lewat pajak. Dalam konteks ini,lebih dari negara-negara anggota the Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) sudah menandatangani Declaration on Access toResearch Data From Public Funding. Walaupun begitu, masih ada pembatasan untuk hal-hal tertentu, misalnya riset yang berhubungan dengan program militer milik negara, riset yang menghasilkan temuan-temuan yang kemudian dipatenkan, dan riset yang diterbitkan dalamsebuah perjanjian yang mengandung royalti dengan pihak lain (pihak komersial).
Begitulah kira-kira.

Cheers,

Putu Pendit

UMS Eprints Archives Repositories

http://eprints.ums.ac.id/

Welcome to the UMS Eprints Archives Repositories. The Repositories is dedicated to manage all academic resources which are created or published by the UMS (University of Muhammadiyah Surakarta) Civitas Academica .

Apa sich "Open Access" (Bebas Akses) itu?

2007-08-02T23:59:00.001-07:00

Untuk menjawab pertanyaan di atas, bisa kita tengok beberapa definisi "Open Access" berikut ini:

1. Menurut Cornell University USA:

" Resources that are openly available to users with no requirements for authentication or payment."
http://www.cs.cornell.edu/wya/DigLib/MS1999/glossary.html

(terjemahan bebasnya) : "Semua sumber daya (paper, ebook, jurnal etc) yang tersedia secara bebas untuk
pengguna dan bebas diakses secara gratis alias tanpa membayar."

2. From The Budapest Open Access Initiative:

The old tradition is the willingness of scientists and scholars to publish the fruits of their research in scholarly journals without payment, for the sake of inquiry and knowledge. The new technology is the internet. The public good they make possible is the world-wide electronic distribution of the peer-reviewed journal literature and completely free and unrestricted access to it by all scientists, scholars, teachers, students, and other curious minds. Removing access barriers to this literature will accelerate research, enrich education, share the learning of the rich with the poor and the poor with the rich, make this literature as useful as it can be, and lay the foundation for uniting humanity in a common intellectual conversation and quest for knowledge. For various reasons, this kind of free and unrestricted online availability, which we will call open access. (From The Budapest Open Archives Initiative Declaration, 2001)

http://www.soros.org/openaccess/read.shtml

Nah, kalo ini adalah menurut "Budapest Open Access Initiative 2001", dan "Deklarasi Berlin tahun 2003" jadi teksnya lebih resmi sbb:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Budapest Open Access Initiative 2001
http://www.soros.org/openaccess/read.shtml

An old tradition and a new technology have converged to make possible an unprecedented public good. The old tradition is the willingness of scientists and scholars to publish the fruits of their research in scholarly journals without payment, for the sake of inquiry and knowledge. The new technology is the internet. The public good they make possible is the world-wide electronic distribution of the peer-reviewed journal literature and completely free and unrestricted access to it by all scientists, scholars, teachers, students, and other curious minds. Removing access barriers to this literature will accelerate research, enrich education, share the learning of the rich with the poor and the poor with the rich, make this literature as useful as it can be, and lay the foundation for uniting humanity in a common intellectual conversation and quest for knowledge.

For various reasons, this kind of free and unrestricted online availability, which we will call open access, has so far been limited to small portions of the journal literature. But even in these limited collections, many different initiatives have shown that open access is economically feasible, that it gives readers extraordinary power to find and make use of relevant literature, and that it gives authors and their works vast and measurable new visibility, readership, and impact. To secure these benefits for all, we call on all interested institutions and individuals to help open up access to the rest of this literature and remove the barriers, especially the price barriers, that stand in the way. The more who join the effort to advance this cause, the sooner we will all enjoy the benefits of open access.

The literature that should be freely accessible online is that which scholars give to the world without expectation of payment. Primarily, this category encompasses their peer-reviewed journal articles, but it also includes any unreviewed preprints that they might wish to put online for comment or to alert colleagues to important research findings. There are many degrees and kinds of wider and easier access to this literature. By "open access" to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.

While the peer-reviewed journal literature should be accessible online without cost to readers, it is not costless to produce. However, experiments show that the overall costs of providing open access to this literature are far lower than the costs of traditional forms of dissemination. With such an opportunity to save money and expand the scope of dissemination at the same time, there is today a strong incentive for professional associations, universities, libraries, foundations, and others to embrace open access as a means of advancing their missions. Achieving open access will require new cost recovery models and financing mechanisms, but the significantly lower overall cost of dissemination is a reason to be confident that the goal is attainable and not merely preferable or utopian.

To achieve open access to scholarly journal literature, we recommend two complementary strategies.

I. Self-Archiving: First, scholars need the tools and assistance to deposit their refereed journal articles in open electronic archives, a practice commonly called, self-archiving. When these archives conform to standards created by the Open Archives Initiative, then search engines and other tools can treat the separate archives as one. Users then need not know which archives exist or where they are located in order to find and make use of their contents.
II. Open-access Journals: Second, scholars need the means to launch a new generation of journals committed to open access, and to help existing journals that elect to make the transition to open access. Because journal articles should be disseminated as widely as possible, these new journals will no longer invoke copyright to restrict access to and use of the material they publish. Instead they will use copyright and other tools to ensure permanent open access to all the articles they publish. Because price is a barrier to access, these new journals will not charge subscription or access fees, and will turn to other methods for covering their expenses. There are many alternative sources of funds for this purpose, including the foundations and governments that fund research, the universities and laboratories that employ researchers, endowments set up by discipline or institution, friends of the cause of open access, profits from the sale of add-ons to the basic texts, funds freed up by the demise or cancellation of journals charging traditional subscription or access fees, or even contributions from the researchers themselves. There is no need to favor one of these solutions over the others for all disciplines or nations, and no need to stop looking for other, creative alternatives.

Open access to peer-reviewed journal literature is the goal. Self-archiving (I.) and a new generation of open-access journals (II.) are the ways to attain this goal. They are not only direct and effective means to this end, they are within the reach of scholars themselves, immediately, and need not wait on changes brought about by markets or legislation. While we endorse the two strategies just outlined, we also encourage experimentation with further ways to make the transition from the present methods of dissemination to open access. Flexibility, experimentation, and adaptation to local circumstances are the best ways to assure that progress in diverse settings will be rapid, secure, and long-lived.

The Open Society Institute, the foundation network founded by philanthropist George Soros, is committed to providing initial help and funding to realize this goal. It will use its resources and influence to extend and promote institutional self-archiving, to launch new open-access journals, and to help an open-access journal system become economically self-sustaining. While the Open Society Institute's commitment and resources are substantial, this initiative is very much in need of other organizations to lend their effort and resources.

We invite governments, universities, libraries, journal editors, publishers, foundations, learned societies, professional associations, and individual scholars who share our vision to join us in the task of removing the barriers to open access and building a future in which research and education in every part of the world are that much more free to flourish.

Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities
http://oa.mpg.de/openaccess-berlin/berlindeclaration.html

The Internet has fundamentally changed the practical and economic realities of distributing scientific knowledge and cultural heritage. For the first time ever, the Internet now offers the chance to constitute a global and interactive representation of human knowledge, including cultural heritage and the guarantee of worldwide access.

We, the undersigned, feel obliged to address the challenges of the Internet as an emerging functional medium for distributing knowledge. Obviously, these developments will be able to significantly modify the nature of scientific publishing as well as the existing system of quality assurance.

In accordance with the spirit of the Declaration of the Budapest Open Acess Initiative (2001) , the ECHO Charter (and the Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing, we have drafted the Berlin Declaration to promote the Internet as a functional instrument for a global scientific knowledge base and human reflection and to specify measures which research policy makers, research institutions, funding agencies, libraries, archives and museums need to consider.

Goals

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.

In order to realize the vision of a global and accessible representation of knowledge, the future Web has to be sustainable, interactive, and transparent. Content and software tools must be openly accessible and compatible.

Definition of an Open Access Contribution

Establishing open access as a worthwhile procedure ideally requires the active commitment of each and every individual producer of scientific knowledge and holder of cultural heritage. Open access contributions include original scientific research results, raw data and metadata, source materials, digital representations of pictorial and graphical materials and scholarly multimedia material.

Open access contributions must satisfy two conditions:

The author(s) and right holder(s) of such contributions grant(s) to all users a free, irrevocable, worldwide, right of access to, and a license to copy, use, distribute, transmit and display the work publicly and to make and distribute derivative works, in any digital medium for any responsible purpose, subject to proper attribution of authorship (community standards, will continue to provide the mechanism for enforcement of proper attribution and responsible use of the published work, as they do now), as well as the right to make small numbers of printed copies for their personal use.
A complete version of the work and all supplemental materials, including a copy of the permission as stated above, in an appropriate standard electronic format is deposited (and thus published) in at least one online repository using suitable technical standards (such as the Open Archive definitions) that is supported and maintained by an academic institution, scholarly society, government agency, or other well-established organization that seeks to enable open access, unrestricted distribution, inter operability, and long-term archiving.

Supporting the Transition to the Electronic Open Access Paradigm

Our organizations are interested in the further promotion of the new open access paradigm to gain the most benefit for science and society. Therefore, we intend to make progress by

encouraging our researchers/grant recipients to publish their work according to the principles of the open access paradigm.
encouraging the holders of cultural heritage to support open access by providing their resources on the Internet.
developing means and ways to evaluate open access contributions and online-journals in order to maintain the standards of quality assurance and good scientific practice.
advocating that open access publication be recognized in promotion and tenure evaluation.
advocating the intrinsic merit of contributions to an open access infrastructure by software tool development, content provision, metadata creation, or the publication of individual articles.

We realize that the process of moving to open access changes the dissemination of knowledge with respect to legal and financial aspects. Our organizations aim to find solutions that support further development of the existing legal and financial frameworks in order to facilitate optimal use and access.

Governments, universities, research institutions, funding agencies, foundations, libraries, museums, archives, learned societies and professional associations who share the vision expressed in the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities are therefore invited to join the signatories that have already signed the Declaration.
