The agreement is the largest of its kind in North America to date, bringing together UC, which generates nearly 10 percent of all U.S. research output, and Elsevier, which disseminates about 17 percent of journal articles produced by UC faculty. The deal will double the number of articles made available through UC’s transformative open access agreements.

Ilva J (2020). Kun open access tuli Suomeen – ja mitä sitten tapahtui. Tietolinja, 2020(2). Pysyvä osoite: https://urn.fi/URN:NBN:fi-fe20201217101283
Käsite ”open access” murtautui suomalaisen tiedemaailman tietoisuuteen vuosien 2003-2004 aikana. Se ei kuitenkaan ilmaantunut tyhjiöön, vaan elektroninen julkaiseminen ja julkaisujen avoin saatavuus oli tässä vaiheessa joiltakin osin jo arkipäivää. Käsite ei tullut Suomeen valmiina, sillä ymmärrys siitä mitä open access on ja miten sitä kohti pitäisi edetä on vuosien varrella muuttunut moneen kertaan. Tässä artikkelissa kartoitetaan avoimen julkaisemisen ensimmäisiä askeleita Suomessa ja tarkastellaan sitä, millaisia valintoja niiden pohjalta tehtiin.
"Kansainvälinen open access -liike syntyi 2000-luvun alkuvuosina usean eri kehityskulun summana. Kyseessä oli pohjimmiltaan ideologinen konstruktio, jolla oli taustaa sekä tieteellisen julkaisemisen että informaatioteknologian kehityksessä."

February 18, 2016 Academics are increasingly turning to renegade websites like Sci-Hub to view subscriber-only articles free. The trend is putting librarians in an awkward position.

Från vaggan till graven. "Universiteter og høgskoler vil lagre informasjon om studenter og ansatte fra de begynner å studere til de er ferdige i arbeids- og utdanningslivet. Men personvernet har skapt implikasjoner.
Årets Forskningsetiske forum hadde 150 påmeldte. Temaet var internasjonalt samarbeid. Utdrag ur diskussionen på forumet:
"Det hele begynte da universitetet ble kontaktet av verdens femte største våpenprodusent, Northrop Grumman. De ønsket et samarbeid om systemer for å sikre cruisetrafikk nord for Canada.
– Denne trafikken går så langt ut, at redningshelikoptre ikke kan settes inn hvis cruiseskipet for eksempel går på et isflak. Man er prisgitt andre skip som tilfeldigvis er i nærheten, forklarte Storeheier, og viste til at problematikken var meget relevant for miljøer ved universitetet. Prosjektet passet også meget godt med UiTs strategi for sikre operasjoner i nordområdene.
Men Northrop Grumman produserer også atomvåpen, og selskapet står på Statens Pensjonsfond Utlands (Oljefondets) liste over selskaper de ikke investerer i. Forespørselen havnet i UiTs styre, og de sa nei. Samtidig innså de behovet for retningslinjer for slike samarbeid.
Retningslinjene lener seg på Oljefondets liste, men denne er heller ikke direkte overførbar, understreket Storeheier.
– Samarbeid er avgrenset til bestemte områder, mens investering støtter hele virksomheten.
Meroe Park (SFS’89), former executive director of the CIA, will provide faculty, students and university leaders with insights and perspectives as the university’s newest Distinguished Executive-in-Residence.
The Georgetown alumna also served as the acting CIA director for a short time in 2017, maintaining the agency’s operations and providing a smooth transition for Mike Pompeo to take the helm as the new director.
As Distinguished Executive-in-Residence at Georgetown, she will provide faculty, students and university leaders with insights and perspectives based on her lengthy career in public service.
Former FBI director Robert Mueller and former U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel have held past residencies.
Park, a 27-year veteran of the agency, served in the position from 2013 to 2017 – acting as the agency’s chief operating officer.
In that role, she managed the day-to-day operations of the agency, guided the organization through its largest organizational and cultural change, modernized the agency’s information technology systems and helped revamp the CIA’s talent management and development system.
One week after Congress held the first hearing in 41 years on the president’s authority to order the use of nuclear weapons, two of Columbia Law School’s leading scholars of war powers and the Constitution discussed what’s at stake before a large audience at the New-York Historical Society in Manhattan. During the Nov. 21 event, Philip Bobbitt, the Herbert Wechsler Professor of Federal Jurisprudence, and Matthew Waxman, the Liviu Librescu Professor of Law, discussed war powers and the presidency, including a proposal by Waxman that would constrain the president’s authority to order a nuclear first strike. The proposal, which Waxman has been developing with Richard Betts, a professor at Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs, aims to reform nuclear launch procedures. Under the proposal, the secretary of defense would need to affirm that a nuclear first-strike order is valid and the attorney general would need to certify that it is legal.
The Costs of War Project is a team of 35 scholars, legal experts, human rights practitioners, and physicians, which began its work in 2011. We use research and a public website to facilitate debate about the costs of the post-9/11 wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
