New study: "#OpenAccess via #repositories (#GreenOA) correlates with higher citation counts and a lower probability of zero citations. In contrast, OA via the publisher's website without an explicit #OpenLicense (#BronzeOA) is associated with higher citation counts but also with a higher probability of zero citations."

Publishing design files and instructions is only the first step. Sharing technology and inviting collaboration requires a licence. Only the license makes it clear under which conditions the knowledge can be reused.
We wrote a short blog post about the option licensing Open Source Hardware.

Das Veröffentlichen von Designfiles und Anleitungen ist nur ein erster Schritt. Um eine Entwicklung zu teilen und zur Zusammenarbeit einzuladen braucht es auch eine Lizenz. Erst durch die Lizenz wird deutlich, unter welchen Bedingungen das Wissen weiterverwendet werden kann.
Wir haben in einem kleinen Blogpost festgehalten, was es bei der Lizenzierung von #OpenSourceHardware für Möglichkeiten gibt.

Often there is uncertainty as to what an open source licence protects. In this blog article, we want to give you a brief overview of the different forms of intellectual property.

Immer wieder gibt es Unsicherheit, was eine Open Source Projekt schützt. In diesem Blogartikel wollen wir euch eine kurze Übersicht über die unterschiedlichen Formen des geistigen Eigentums geben.

The openness of AI models cannot be reduced to just their licensing — says @mweinberg in his recent post, drawing from experience with open hardware. In this note, we explain why we agree with Mike's position 👉 https://openfuture.eu/note/mike-weinberg-on-open-licensing/ #AI #OpenLicense

Best thing I've seen (so far) today, someone has made #AI create a song where the singer recites the #MITLicense

I think all Open Licenses should be distributed this way :-)

Our contribution to the Year of #OpenScience #YOS Conference - an outline of the elements of a strong #OA policy:
💫 #immediateOA with a CC BY license
💫 An #openlicense (CC0) for #researchdata & deposit in a #datarepository
💫 adherence to the FAIR & CARE principles

Learn more about how we are applying these recommendations via our #OpenClimate Campaign

We have gathered a list of recently published open science guides that help researchers in the Netherlands navigate open science.

The guides cover topics such as pre-prints, open licenses, and how to apply open science in practice. All guides are open access and are available via the open repository Zenodo.

https://www.rug.nl/library/open-access/blog/practical-guides-on-open-science-for-researchers-in-the-netherlands

The list will be updated as more guides are published.

[microlearning] Introduction to Open Software Licensing

"This course aims to provide a solid understanding about software licensing and licence types, before looking in detail at open license types, their benefits and how they contribute to software and data interoperability."

I bought a pile of lumber to make a workbench. I’m following the plans from “The Anarchist's Workbench”: https://lostartpress.com/collections/books/products/the-anarchists-workbench

(The book was released with an #openlicense (CC BY NC), and there’s a free download, which is very cool.)

Has anyone out in #woodworking mastodon made one of these?

From @Dunleavy: "Thanks to…#OpenAccess, [#book #chapters now] rival journal articles in their visibility to academic communities [&] their usefulness as teaching resources."

This is true. Don't be afraid to publish an article-length work as a book chapter rather than an article. But if the book won't be OA, don't forget to insist on retaining the right to make your chapter OA through a #repository, with an #OpenLicense and no #embargo.
