MANDATE URL and TEXT
Excerpt from Case Western Reserve University Faculty Senate Resolution on Open
Access, 25 April 2005
Whereas Open Access publishing represents a fundamental shift in the
dissemination of scholarly knowledge, being readily available, increasingly
cited, and often peer-reviewed, and
Whereas access to the products of scholarship should reflect the cooperative
nature of their development, and
Whereas the public and government agencies, such as the National Institutes of
Health (NIH), encourage widespread access to the products of sponsored
research, and
Whereas universities subsidize scholarly research and then must purchase back
the published products of that research at increasingly high costs, eroding
their libraries� ability to purchase books and provide personnel for service
and extended hours, and
Whereas scholars routinely lose control of their work by signing away their
copyright rights to publishers,
Be it resolved that the Faculty Senate urges the University and its members
to
Support the consideration of peer-reviewed Open Access material during the
promotion and tenure process,
Post their work prior to publication in an open digital archive and seek to
retain particular copyright rights enabling them to post their published work
in a timely fashion, and provide institutional support to those seeking to do
so, and
