Open Access Mission Statement

The mission statement of the Berlin 11 conference is available online now:

“During the Berlin 11 Open Access Conference, the Max Planck Society presented a draft mission statement and asked the participants for their comments. The mission statement will be used as a guideline for future activities of the Max Planck Society towards the goals mentioned in the Berlin Declaration a decade ago.”

CARPET is an information platform on ePublishing technology. The aims of the project are to improve the sustainability of existing ePublishing projects and to avoid redundant developments. The project is a cooperation between the Max Planck Digital Library, the Humboldt University Berlin and the Lower Saxony State- and University Library Göttingen, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).

Edition Open Access
Period: 2011-
MPS project partner: MPI for the History of Science, Fritz Haber Institute, MPI for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute)
Website: www.edition-open-access.de/
The Edition Open Access is a publication of the Max Planck Research Library for the History and Development of Knowledge. The Max Planck Research Library for the History and Development of Knowledge comprises three subseries, Studies, Essays and Sources. They present research results and the relevant sources in a new format, combining the advantages of traditional publications and the digital medium. The volumes are available both as printed books and as online open access publications. They present original scientific work submitted under the scholarly responsibility of members of the Scientific Board and their academic peers.

SCOAP3 (Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics)
Period: 2006-
MPS project partner: Max Planck Digital Library
Website: http://scoap3.org
A consortium facilitates Open Access publishing in High Energy Physics by re-directing subscription money. This answers the request of the High Energy Physics community.
