Kudos to #Canada's three major research-funding agencies for their draft all-green, zero-embargo, rights-retention #OpenAccess policy.
science.gc.ca/site/science/en/

The agencies are the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (#CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (#NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (#SSHRC) — sometimes known collectively as the #TriAgency.

science.gc.caDraft, Revised Tri-Agency Open Access Policy on PublicationsPreamble The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) ("the Agencies") promote and support research, research training, knowledge mobilization and innovation within Canada.

❗Publishers & editors of scholarly journals! Deepen your understanding of #RetainYourRights with this #OpenEducationalResource #OER ’Rights and #OpenLicensing in scholarly publishing’ from Project Retain: zenodo.org/records/14831606 #RightsRetention #KnowledgeRights21

ZenodoRetain Workshops. WS#1 Rights and open licensing in scholarly publishingThis Open Educational Resource on "Rights and open licensing in scholarly publishing" is based on the content of the workshop facilitated by the authors during the Summer School of the Pubmet 2024 conference, as part of the Retain project within the Knowledge Rights 21 programme*. The workshop aims to equip the publishers and editors of scholarly journals to understand the issues related to rights and licensing, review their current policies and practices, and improve them in line with the international standards and best practices. Pubmet 2024 workshop abstract: https://pubmet2024.unizd.hr/mz-abstract/Retain project: https://sparceurope.org/what-we-do/open-access/copyright/project-retain/Rights retention helper: https://sparceurope.org/what-we-do/open-access/copyright/project-retain/rights-retention-helper/* This project was funded by Arcadia – a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin

✅ All stakeholders benefit from having a #RightsRetention policy! Collaborative initiatives bring stakeholders & institutions together to ensure researchers are informed & supported to implement #RetainYourRights

✅ Help authors know & manage their rights! Institutions can support you through policy development and implementation

✅ Ensure authors and research institutions retain their rights to their worky. This policy helps them become the rightsholder 2/2

It focuses on #RightsRetention #OpenAccess policies. I've worked with many institutions to adopt such policies and would be happy to work with others.

Surely research on vaccinations, and government funded research at that should be made immediately open access? It's a field-day for anti-vaxxers if you keep this behind a paywall. So frustrating.

I fear what widespread institutional rights retention policies in the UK will reveal is that academics don't know &/or don't care about providing the public access to their research 🙃

[i.e. we can't just put all the blame on paywall-based publishers]

The thing that really scares me about rights retention... is what it will reveal.

Rights retention gives academic authors the power (fully legally) to make their author accepted manuscript openly available online at a repository, IF they choose to upload it.

The scary thing I'm seeing with institutional rights retention policies right now is... authors having the power & potential... and NOT using it.

Great to see NHMRC (Australia) funded researchers using the rights retention strategy:

British Journal of Sports Medicine · Tale of quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength after ACL reconstruction: a systematic review with longitudinal and multivariate meta-analysisObjective This study aimed to investigate how knee extensor and flexor strength change over time after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Design Systematic review with longitudinal meta-analysis. Data sources Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane CENTRAL and SPORTDiscus to 28 February 2023. Eligibility criteria Studies of primary ACLR (n≥50), with mean participant age 18–40 years, reporting a quantitative measure of knee extensor or flexor strength were eligible. Muscle strength had to be reported for the ACL limb and compared with: (1) the contralateral limb (within-person); and/or (2) an uninjured control limb (between-person). Results We included 232 studies of 34 220 participants. Knee extensor and flexor strength showed sharp initial improvement postoperatively before tailing off at approximately 12–18 months post surgery with minimal change thereafter. Knee extensor strength was reduced by more than 10% compared with the contralateral limb and approximately 20% compared with uninjured controls at 1 year for slow concentric, fast concentric and isometric contractions. Knee flexor strength showed smaller deficits but was still 5%–7% lower than the contralateral limb at 1 year for slow concentric, fast concentric and isometric contractions. Between-person comparisons showed larger deficits than within-person comparisons. Conclusion Knee extensor muscle strength is meaningfully reduced (>10%) at 1 year, with limited improvement after this time up to and beyond 5 years post surgery. Many people likely experience persistent and potentially long-term strength deficits after ACLR. Comparison within person (to the contralateral limb) likely underestimates strength deficits in contrast to uninjured controls. Data are available in a public, open access repository. All data relevant to the study are included in the article or uploaded as supplementary information.

Lovely to see authors electing to make use of institutional rights retention policies, to make their work open access WITHOUT paying shitty APCs.

Today I found this one deposited at the Cambridge repository where it is open & CC BY, whilst the publisher version is paywalled.

The author doing this wasn't even the corresponding author - no corresponding author 'games' required with rights retention!

Unfortunately, that applies only to books published in the UK (as a copyright library). Journal articles don't fall under that category.

HOWEVER, many UK authors in Universities are now covered by policies -- so they can share their work free of charge.
