What is BRII?
The Berkeley Research Impact Initiative (BRII) supports faculty members who want to make their journal articles free to all readers immediately upon publication. An 18-month pilot program, BRII will subsidize, in various degrees, fees charged to authors who select open access or paid access publication. The pilot will also yield data that can be used to gauge faculty interest in — as well as the budgetary impacts of — these new modes of scholarly communication on the Berkeley campus.
The next CERN Workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication (OAI6), will be held at the University of Geneva on the 17th-19th of June 2009 (view map, slide show of the building).
Agenda
This project, funded for two years starting September 2008 by the NSF Cyber-enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) Program will develop a suite of tools and services to encourage formation of virtual organizations in scientific communities of various sizes, such as conference groups and departmental research groups, and allow such organizations to filter out relevant documents from various input streams, select and enhance the quality of bibliographic data associated with the organization, and attract students, teachers and researchers to contribute to activity of the organization.
