[GOAL] Embargoes, evidence and all that jazz

[Guédon Jean-Claude]

Point 3 is quite funny: only negative experiences? 

How about neutral and positive experiences?

I love the framing of well-crafted, objective, and unbiased questions. In my classes, point three would bring an F to his/her author. :-)

Dear all,

Picking this question back up. Yes at OSI in 2016 the Embargoes group did
pull together a plan for some research.

Our workgroup¹s presentation is here -

The write-up is here:
http://osinitiative.org/osi-reports/osi2016-reports/report-from-the-embargo
-workgroup/

Basically the proposed research was in three phases:

1. A survey to determine the impacts of embargoes on scholarly
communication
2. A literature review to determine the origins and rationales for
embargoes
3. An analysis of some case studies where publishers have changed their
embargoes and have had negative consequences

Given I have a fairly busy day job I have not had a huge amount of time to
devote to this. However, something that would move the project along
immeasurably is the provision of actual data from publishers. Gemma has
mentioned a few (three) potential examples that could feed into this
discussion and it would be excellent if we could see some data to try and
see if there are trends here.

This is a call out to any other publishers who can provide some data on
this issue.

As it happens Gemma and I are attending the same conference - OAI10
Innovations in Scholarly Communication -
https://indico.cern.ch/event/405949/ (hashtag #OAI10 if interested) and
have had a quick discussion on this.

We agreed that this conversation has been going around in circles for some
time and it would be really helpful if we could move forward with some
real examples and real data. I certainly would very much welcome this!

Regards,

Danny
