(Wikipedia)

Definition of CC• Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that enables the

sharing and use of creativity and knowledge through free legal tools

• An organization that has defined an alternative to copyrights by filling in the gap between full copyright, in which no use is permitted without permission, and public domain, where permission is not required at all. Creative Commons' licenses let people copy and distribute the work under specific conditions, and general descriptions, legal clauses and HTML tags for search engines are provided for several license options.

What is CC license?• CC licenses provide an easy way to manage the

copyright terms that attach automatically to all creative material under copyright.

CC licenses allow that material to be shared and reused under terms that are flexible and legally sound. CC offers a core suite of six copyright licenses.

Types of CC licenses

• All of CC licenses require that users provide attribution (BY) to the creator when the material is used and shared. Some licensors choose the BY license, which requires attribution to the creator as the only condition to reuse of the material.

• The other five licenses combine BY with one or more of three additional license elements:

• NonCommercial (NC), which prohibits commercial use of the material;• NoDerivatives (ND), which prohibits the sharing of adaptations of the

material;• ShareAlike (SA), which requires adaptations of the material be released

under the same license.

1. Attribution CC BY

• This license lets others distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for the original creation. This is the most accommodating of licenses offered. Recommended for maximum dissemination and use of licensed materials.

3. Attribution-NoDerivs CC BY-ND

• This license allows for redistribution, commercial and non-commercial, as long as it is passed along unchanged and in whole, with credit to you.

2. Attribution-ShareAlike CC BY-SA

• This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work even for commercial purposes, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms. This license is often compared to “copyleft” free and open source software licenses. All new works based on yours will carry the same license, so any derivatives will also allow commercial use. This is the license used by Wikipedia, and is recommended for materials that would benefit from incorporating content from Wikipedia and similarly licensed projects.

4. Attribution-NonCommercial CC BY-NC

• This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, and although their new works must also acknowledge you and be non-commercial, they don’t have to license their derivative works on the same terms.

5.Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike CC BY-NC-SA

• This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms.

6. Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs CC BY-NC-ND

• This license is the most restrictive of our six main licenses, only allowing others to download your works and share them with others as long as they credit you, but they can’t change them in any way or use them commercially.

CC licenses can Applied to ?• CC licenses may be applied to any type of work,

including educational resources, music, photographs, databases, government and public sector information, and many other types of material.

CC Licenses Cannot Applied to ?• CC does not recommend its licenses for computer

software and hardware. You should also not apply Creative Commons licenses to works that are no longer protected by copyright or are otherwise in the public domain. Instead, for those works in the worldwide public domain.

Meaning

• Open access (OA) means unrestricted online access to peer-reviewed scholarly research. Open access is primarily intended for scholarly journal articles, but is also provided for a growing number of theses,

book chapters, and scholarly monographs.

DEFINITIONS• Open Access(AO) is free access to knowledge at no charge

to the user• OA is the free, immediate, online availability of research

articles, with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment.

• The literature that should be freely accessible online is that which scholars give to the world without expectation of payment

Why OA

• Active debate over the economics and reliability of various ways of providing open access continues among researchers, academics, librarians, university administrators, funding agencies, government officials and commercial publishers.

• Public access to the World Wide Web in the late 1990s and early 2000s fueled the open access movement.• Conventional non-open access journals cover

publishing costs through access tolls such as subscriptions, site licenses or pay-per-view.• Some non-open access journals provide open

access after a period of 6–12 months or longer.

OPEN ACCESS Usage• gratis open access: (for zero price)

which is free online access, • libre open access: (with little or no restriction) which is free online access plus some additional

usage rights. These additional usage rights are often granted through the use of various specific Creative Commons licenses.

Implementation practices of OA• Option for authors who wish to make their work

openly accessible is to publish in an open access journal “green open access” or "gold open access”.

1. Self-archiving: Self-archiving, also known as green open access,

refers to the practice of depositing articles in an institutional repository or a subject repository.

2. Open Access Journal:

Open access journal also known as Gold open access, open access can be provided by traditional publishers, who may publish open access as well as subscription-based journals, or open access publishers such as Public Library of Science (PLOS), who publish only open access journals. An open access journal may or may not charge a publishing fee. 30% of gold open access journals have author fees to cover the cost of publishing

Stakeholders and concerned communities

• The intended audience of research articles is usually other researchers. Open access helps researchers as readers by opening up access to articles that their libraries do not subscribe to. One of the great beneficiaries of open access may be users in developing countries, where currently some universities find it difficult to pay for subscriptions required to access the most recent journals.
