Unfortunately, that commentary was founded in serious and deep misconceptions about the distinctions between open access, commercial, and society publications, and the rigor of peer review in open access journals. To the contrary, open access responds more appropriately than traditional closed publishing venues to the needs and participation of an increasingly global scholarly research community, and peer review by a broader community may in many cases be more rigorous, responding to the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of modern research. We respectfully suggest that The Wildlife Society consider a transition from closed access to open access for The Journal of Wildlife Management, as a means of optimizing and maximizing its role in communications in the field.

Obstajajo pa potencialne pasti t. i. zlatega modela odprtega dostopa, pri katerem publikacije stroške produkcije in objave zaračunajo avtorjem. Zlati modeli, po katerih se računi izstavljajo avtorjem, ne rešujejo problema dostopnosti, ampak samo prestavijo oviro od bralca k avtorju. Po takih modelih lahko vsakdo prebira razprave, vendar je njihovo objavljanje lahko nedopustno drago. V znanstveni skupnosti, ki je vedno bolj globalna, razširjena čez vse več regij in držav sveta, so te publikacijske ovire lahko zelo moteče.
V debato se s to razpravo vključuje tudi globalna skupina univerzitetnih kolegov. Mreža raziskovalcev dejavnih v akademskem publiciranju, se razteza čez štiri celine in več disciplin znotraj naravoslovja, humanistike in družbenih ved in zavzema različne politične ter ekonomske položaje. Verjamejo, da ta globalni vzorec raziskovalcev lahko predstavi kompleksno problematiko in ponudi perspektive, nujne za njeno obvladovanje. Skupina je bila sestavljena, ne da bi poskušala zajeti ves svet.
Ta prispevek se razlikuje od drugih pristopov k problemu odprtodostopnega publiciranja v več temeljnih točkah. a) Izhaja iz situacije znanstvenikov in tako lahko predstavlja »drugo plat medalje « znanstvene komunikacije. b) Osredinja se na pričevanja, v katerih so znanstveniki svobodno usmerjali svoje odgovore, kot se jim je zdelo primerno, namesto da bi bili omejeni na odgovore tipa da/ne oz. na izbiro odgovorov na lestvici. Morda najbolj pomembno pa je c), da razlikuje med organizacijami, državami in položaji in tako osvetljuje neenake pogoje dostopa med bogatimi državami in državami v nezavidljivi ekonomski situaciji ter tudi znotraj držav, odvisno od velikosti in lokacije konkretnih institucij.

From a faculty perspective the matter is fraught by the transition from beloved traditional formats to open communication in electronic formats, a new and sometimes bewildering new frontier. The presentation demonstrates that open access is on balance a boon to scholars, as it connects research to the widest possible range of readers, the central goal of scholarly communication, and gives them unprecedented control over the dissemination of their research production. Faculty can enjoy far greater visibility, richer interaction with readers, and higher impact for their research by using the tools that open access provides. Faculty leaders—deans, chairs, and directors—will find that open access provides useful means for capturing faculty research impact and productivity indicators, which in turn helps them illustrate their faculty’s contributions in response to external queries.

Greenberg, prejme priznanje za vrhunske dosežke v slovenističnem jezikoslovju in promocijo slovenščine, slovenistike in Slovenije v Združenih državah Amerike. Svojo znanstveno pot je začel s preučevanjem slovenščine, in sicer s terenskim raziskovanjem prekmurskih in prleških govorov. Na podlagi analize v Sloveniji zbranega gradiva je leta 1990 doktoriral v Los Angelesu s tezo A Historical analysis of the phonology and accentuation of the Prekmurje dialect of Slovene. K tej problematiki se je vrnil še v drugih znanstvenih delih. Tudi v širše slavističnih delih prof. dr. Greenberg vseskozi navaja in kritično vključuje slovensko gradivo, kar je pri neslovenskih slavistih prej izjema kot pravilo. Napisal je prvo monografijo o slovenskem zgodovinskem glasoslovju, ki je slovenske glasovne razvoje postavila na svetovni zemljevid raziskovanja. Ustvaril je tudi priročno slovensko slovnico, ki predstavlja nepogrešljiv vir informacij za vse, ki se učijo slovenščine na tujih univerzah, zlasti ameriških. Med njegove pomembne dosežke pri promociji slovenske znanosti v mednarodnem prostoru sodi tudi soustanoviteljstvo in souredništvo mednarodne znanstvene revije Slovenski jezik/Slovene Linguistic Studies.

OA has the potential, over time, to fundamentally change the model by which the research outcomes of university faculty are shared. There are obvious merits in shifting the economic model of scholarly communication and opening the door to research information to a wider and global audience. At the same time, discussions of open access are often laced with the concerns of the faculty. Will OA diminish the value of faculty work, create barriers to promotion and tenure, present additional burdens for faculty as they assert their rights with publishers or self-submit their work to an open repository? There are also many issues in implementing OA policies for faculty groups and campus administrators to consider such as how (or if) the institution will monitor participation, the allocation of resources, and how OA may be used to reflect scholars’ (and their institutions’) commitment to the public access to the results of their scholarship. This presentation will discuss faculty efforts on three campuses to plant the seeds for faculty-initiated open access policies, working with faculty colleagues and faculty governance bodies to pass such policies, and current implementation strategies. Implications ahead for developing significantly more robust and complementary methods of providing unfettered access to scholarship will also be discussed.
