[BOAI] Report-Open access in Southern European countries

[Reme Melero]

The monograph "Open access in Southern European countries" presents the 
landscape of open access initiatives and development in Southern 
European countries: France, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Turkey. 
These countries have special characteristics: they use languages that 
have a long tradition but are not the usual channel for scientific 
communication, they do not have a powerful publishing industry, or they 
spend a small percentage of GDP on research and scientific data 
acquisition.

This report is addressed especially to authorities and academic 
managers, to make them aware of the importance of encouraging actions to 
promote open access to science, to publishers, especially those of the 
public sector, to academics, and to information science and management 
professionals.


The book  is the result of the meeting we had in Granada in May 2010 
which concluded with the/ Alhambra Declaration/.
Please find attached  the press release with more details about its 
contents. The book can be freely download full or by chapters.
