Talle gesaghebbende universiteite en navorsingsinstansies het reeds die stap geneem om openlik oop toegang tot navorsingsuitsette te ondersteun as deel van die groter ooptoegangsbeweging. Universiteit Stellenbosch is ook deel van hierdie internasionale gemeenskap, en het reeds die Berlynse Verklaring<http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/4816> onderteken om te demonstreer dat ons daartoe verbind is om ons navorsing met ander te deel. Gedurende die afgelope jaar het die Universiteit aansienlik vordering gemaak ten opsigte van oop toegang. Die digitale navorsingsbewaarplek, SUNScholar<http://scholar.sun.ac.za/>, wat gebruik word om tesisse, verhandelinge, navorsingsartikels, ens. digitaal te bewaar, het onder andere aansienlik gegroei. Dit bevat reeds 14 100 rekords en groei steeds. Die Universiteit se verbintenis tot oop toegang het ook gelei tot die 'publisering' van veertien ooptoegangstydskrifte (waarvan nege DvO-geakkrediteer) gedurende die afgelope vyf maande. Dit was 'n besonderse jaar vir ons, en daarom is dit aangenaam om u uit te nooi om deel te hê in die opwinding wat gepaard sal gaan met die bekendstelling van die tydskriftitels wat gepubliseer word met behulp van Open Journal Systems (OJS) sagteware.

Die program<http://oa.sun.ac.za/?page_id=126> sal fokus op die publisering in ooptoegangtydskrifte, en die Biblioteek- en Inligtingsdiens is baie bevoorreg om twee internasionale navorsers en sprekers oor die onderwerp te kan insluit, naamlik proff Stevan Harnad<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevan_Harnad> en Peter Suber<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Suber>. Prof Stevan Harnad sal 'n interaktiewe virtuele aanbieding doen om onsekerhede oor oop toegang uit die weg te ruim. Proff Harnad en Suber, dr Eve Gray<http://www.gray-area.co.za/> (ooptoegang-aktivis, UCT) en prof Arrie de Beer<http://www.imasa.org/> (iMasa, Ecquid Novi) sal daarna deelneem aan 'n paneelbespreking waartydens kwessies insake publisering in ooptoegangtydskrift, kopiereg, intellektuele eiendom, outeursregte, die kwaliteit van die redigeerproses, en baie meer gedebatteer sal word.

Colleagues

In the international arena the Open Access Movement has made significant strides with leading universities and research institutions committing to openly sharing its research output. Stellenbosch University has also joined this international cohort of open access advocates and has signed the Berlin Declaration<http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/4816> confirming its commitment to openly sharing its research output. During the past year the University has made considerable progress in terms of opening access to information. The University is also actively preserving its research output (research articles, theses, dissertations, etc.) via its institutional repository, SUNScholar<http://scholar.sun.ac.za/>, with 14 100 records listed to date. The University commitment has grown in leaps and bounds culminating in 'publishing' journal titles in open access forums using open source software.  The year 2011 has been exceptional for Stellenbosch University in terms of showcasing its commitment to open access and the concomitant showcasing of its research output. Therefore the University has pleasure in inviting you to the launch of fourteen journal titles (of which nine are DoE accredited) that will be published using the open source software, Open Journal Systems (OJS).

Date: 27 October 2011
