Open Scholarship Initiative Proceedings https://journals.gmu.edu/index.php/osi <p>OSI is a global collaborative effort between all major stakeholders in scholarly publishing to improve the future of how research information gets published, shared and accessed. The foundation of this effort is a 10-year series of annual meetings where high-level stakeholder representatives work together to solve important issues. Collaboration outside these meetings will also occur. OSI Proceedings presents the questions discussed in the OSI Conference and will publish the results of workshop sessions.</p> Mason Publishing en-US Open Scholarship Initiative Proceedings 2473-6236 Considering Evidence-Based Open Access Policies https://journals.gmu.edu/index.php/osi/article/view/3553 <p>According to the world’s most influential open access policies, only certain types of information outputs are genuinely open. In practice, however, there are actually many types of open access outcomes and solutions. A more flexible, evidence-based approach to creating open access policy will better meet researchers’ requirements and also reduce the unintended consequences of our current policies.</p> Glenn Hampson Jason Steinhauer Copyright (c) 2023 OSI https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2023-04-05 2023-04-05 10.13021/osi2023.3553
