  • Why should I choose the open CC-BY license for my article?

    Why should I choose the open CC-BY license for my article?

    The Max Planck Society, the Alliance of German Science Organizations and cOAlition S encourage authors to choose, wherever possible, the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC-BY) for their published works.

    While authors have traditionally transferred all rights over their works to publishers, under the CC-BY license authors keep the right to re-use their own work and freely and legally share their published articles. Hence the CC-BY license fruits the greatest possible impact and use and re-use of your research, enabling scholars and scientists everywhere to learn from and build on the results of your research and increasing the potential of digital technologies in research, such as text and data mining, while ensuring that you as the author are always given credit as the creator of the work. This is why you should always use CC-BY without additional restrictive attributions. Particularly the NC-attribution (=non-commercial) should be avoided as it is often unclear what constitutes commercial use and the NC-attribution is incompatible with re-use even on open content platforms like Wikipedia.

    The Max Planck Society is working on establishing the CC-BY license as the gold standard in scholarly publishing. While the majority of journals included in the Max Planck Society’s Open Access agreements prompt authors to choose the CC-BY license by default, there are exceptions. In these cases, authors are encouraged to select the least restrictive Creative Commons license available.

    Taking the opportunity to publish your article open access under the CC-BY license, you will contribute to a growing body of openly available research findings, enabling more profound, expansive and impactful studies, accelerating the process of science itself, whereby new discoveries are built upon previously established results.

    Warum sollte ich die offene CC-BY Lizenz für meinen Artikel wählen?

    Die Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, die Allianz der deutschen Wissenschaftsorganisationen sowie auch die cOAlition S empfehlen, wann immer möglich, die Vergabe der Creative-Commons-Lizenz CC-BY für wissenschaftliche Publikationen.

    Während Autor*innen bislang ihre Nutzungsrechte meist exklusiv an den Verlag übertragen haben, behalten sie durch die CC-BY-Lizenz die Rechte an ihrem Werk, und sie bestimmen selbst über die weiteren Nutzungsmöglichkeiten. Die CC-BY-Lizenz ermöglicht Ihnen als AutorIn daher die größtmögliche Verbreitung, Nutzung und Nachnutzung Ihrer Forschung und ermöglicht es Wissenschaftlern überall von den Ergebnissen Ihrer Arbeit zu lernen und darauf aufzubauen. Ebenso erhöht die CC-BY-Lizenz das Potential digitaler Technologien in der Forschung, z. B. automatische Textanalyse-Verfahren oder KI-Anwendungen, während sie ebenfalls sicherstellt, dass Sie immer als Urheber des Originals genannt werden müssen. Daher sollten Sie immer CC-BY ohne zusätzliche einschränkende Attribution wählen. Besonders die NC-Attribution (nicht-kommerziell) sollte vermieden werden da oft unklar ist, welche Nutzungen als kommerziell gelten könnten und die NC-Einschränkung bereits die Nachnutzung auf Open Content-Seiten wie Wikipedia verhindert.

    Die Max-Planck-Gesellschaft strebt an, CC-BY als Standardlizenz für das Open-Access-Publizieren zu etablieren. Die meisten Zeitschriften, die über die Open Access-Verträge der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft abgedeckt sind, bieten die CC-BY-Lizenz als Standard an, aber es gibt auch Ausnahmen. In diesen Fällen sollten Sie bitte immer die am wenigsten einschränkende CC-Lizenz wählen.

    Wenn Sie die Gelegenheit nutzen, Ihren Artikel Open Access unter der CC-BY-Lizenz zu veröffentlichen, tragen Sie zu einem wachsenden Korpus an offen zugänglichen Forschungsergebnissen bei, was wiederum eine tiefgreifendere, umfangreichere und wirkungsvollere Nutzung erlaubt, wodurch der Prozess der Wissenschaft selbst beschleunigt wird, indem neue Entdeckungen auf bereits etablierten Erkenntnissen aufbauen.

    Allgemeine Informationen

    Die Max-Planck-Gesellschaft unterstützt seit über zehn Jahren Initiativen zu "Open Access" und nimmt gleichzeitig als Begründerin der Berliner Erklärung und der sogenannten Berlin-Konferenzen eine Vorreiterrolle ein. Gut zwölf Prozent aller Max-Planck-Originalpublikationen sind mittlerweile im Open Access verfügbar. Diese Entwicklung soll weiterhin bestärkt und befördert werden, denn die unmittelbare, allgemeine und freie Zugänglichkeit des gesamten wissenschaftlichen Wissens ist erklärtes Ziel der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft.

    Die MPDL unterstützt Open Access zum einen durch die Bereitstellung des Repositoriums "MPG.PuRe", das für die Veröffentlichung von Forschungsarbeiten als Original- oder Zweitveröffentlichung aus der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft von allen Instituten und Mitarbeitern genutzt werden kann. Des Weiteren werden im Bereich Information/Grundversorgung seit 2003 Rahmenverträge abgeschlossen, die eine zentrale kostenübernahme für Open-Access-Publikationskosten für MPG-Autoren regeln. Eine Übersicht über diese Verträge finden Sie unter "Open Access Publishing".

  • Erwerbung

    Die Erwerbung ist ein zentrales Feld der Zusammenarbeit zwischen MPDL und Institutsbibliotheken. Um die Bedarfe der Institute zu ermitteln, zu bündeln und zu unterstützen, werden verschiedene Instrumente und Prozesse eingesetzt. Dahinter steht eine seit vielen Jahren eingespielte Praxis, die kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt wird. 

     

    Bedarfserhebungen

    Zur Definition und Austarierung unseres Angebotsportfolios von Zeitschriften oder elektronischen Büchern eines Verlages gehört die Ermittlung, Aggregierung und Gewichtung der Bedarfe an den Max-Planck-Instituten. Wann immer ein Anlass vorliegt, wird eine entsprechende Bedarfserhebung vorbereitet und durchgeführt. Dazu werden aufbereitete Titellisten sowie ggf. die dazugehörigen Bestandsdaten und Nutzungszahlen auf Institutsebene zur Verfügung gestellt und jedes Max-Planck-Institut erhält die Möglichkeit, Titel des eigenen Bedarfs zu identifizieren und mit einer Wertekategorie zu versehen.

    Aktuell stehen keine Bedarfserhebungen an. Sobald wieder eine Bedarfserhebung durchgeführt wird, findet sich der Einstieg zu diesem Service an dieser Stelle.

     

    Wunschliste

    Ein wichtiges Instrument ist die Meldung und Bewertung von Beschaffungsvorschlägen durch die Institutsbiliotheken. Mit der Wunschliste der MPG-Bibliotheken (Login erforderlich) betreibt die MPDL ein für alle Institute einsehbares Datenbanksystem, in dem die Vorschläge, Beurteilungen und zugehörigen Entscheidungsprozesse transparent dokumentiert sind.

    Die Plattform ist nur für registrierte Institutsaccounts zugänglich. Interessierte Institute ohne Login bitten wir um eine eMail an This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

     

    E-Book Einzeltitelerwerb

    Die MPG hat mit verschiedenen Anbietern Rahmenverträge zum lokalen Einzeltitelerwerb von E-Books geschlossen. Informationen zu den jeweiligen E-Book-Bestellverfahren, ein entsprechendes Bestellformular sowie weitere Dokumente (z.B. Checkliste für Vertragsabschlüsse) finden Sie auf unseren Serviceseiten (MPG intern).

     

    Normen

    Über die MPDL können benötigte DIN-, ISO- und VDI-Normen erworben werden. Im Gegensatz zum E-Book-Einzeltitelerwerb werden die Kosten für diese Dokumente zentral übernommen. Nach Erwerb werden die Normen in den Zugangssystemen nachgewiesen und für MPG-weiten Zugriff bereitgestellt. Bitte benutzen Sie für die Bestellung das entsprechende Formular auf den Serviceseiten (MPG intern).

     

    DDP-Konditionen

    Einige Lizenzverträge der Grundversorgung beinhalten DDP-Konditionen (deep discount price), die Einrichtungen der MPG e.V. den rabattierten Bezug von gedruckten Zeitschriften ermöglichen. Wir haben diese Sonderkonditionen als Excel-Liste für Sie zusammengestellt.

     

    National- und Allianzlizenzen

    Für die nationallizenzierten bzw. deutschlandweit ohne Kosten zugänglichen Ressourcen (s. Übersicht) übernimmt die MPDL die Registrierung als zentralen Service für die gesamte MPG.

    Bei den Allianzlizenzen prüft das Lizenzteam der MPDL zunächst, ob das Produkt für eine MPG-weite Lizenzierung in Frage kommt und gibt die Information anschließend an die MPG-Bibliotheken weiter. Falls kein zentraler Vertrag geplant ist, können die Institute lokal an der Allianzlizenz teilnehmen. Dazu wird im Nationallizenz-Portal ein zusätzlicher Institutsaccount erstellt ("Dummy-Account").

    Die Liste der DFG-geförderten Ressourcen kann über den Funding-Filter in MPG.ReNa eingesehen werden.

  • Grundversorgung, Akteure

    Grundversorgung

    Im Jahr 1999 ist auf Beschluss der drei Sektionen der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft unter dem Namen "Grundversorgung" ein Konzept und ein Etat zur MPG-weiten Lizenzie­rung elektronischer Ressourcen verabschiedet worden. Seither ist die Grundversor­gung das zentrale Programm der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur institutsübergreifenden Lizenzierung elektronischer Ressourcen.

    Für die Grundversorgung werden jene Ressourcen ausgewählt, für die die Bündelung auf zentraler Ebene vorteilhafter erscheint als eine lokale Versorgung durch einzelne Instituts-Bibliotheken. Dies gilt auch für die zentrale Teilnahme an Allianz- und Nationallizenzen. Dabei fließen verschiedene Faktoren in den Entscheidungsprozess mit ein: Breite und Dringlichkeit des Bedarfs, Geschäftsmodell und Kosten-Struktur von Angeboten, aber auch Möglichkeiten der Erschließung, Vernetzung und Archivierung.

    Neben der Lizensierung ist das Informationsmanagement und die Bereitstellung von zentralen und lokalen Zuganssystemen von zentraler Bedeutung für die Informationsversorgung. Weitere Informationen hierzu finden Sie im Bereich "Zugangssysteme". 

    Akteure

    Grundversorgung und Informationsmanagement werden hauptsächlich im Bereich "Information" der MPDL organisiert.
