University rights-retention OA policies

Petersuber:

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.
* Leibniz University Hannover, Germany, was previously listed ([https://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/index.php?title=University_rights-retention_OA_policies&oldid=29039 added 4 July 2023]) with an opt-in rights retention policy, referencing its [https://www.uni-hannover.de/en/universitaet/profil/leitbild-und-strategien/forschung/open-science/open-access/open-access-policy open access policy (version from June 2022)]. While the policy covers the aspect of transfer of use rights, it merely contains a recommendation to university members to transfer non-exclusive rights for publications. Hence, it should not be considered an institutional rights retention policy. After consultation with the open access department of Leibniz University Hannover, the entry was removed on 21 October 2025. (Leibniz University Hannover was apparently listed here as the only institution from Germany after being referenced in the [https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8084051 2023 ''Opening Knowledge'' report by SPARC Europe]. However, open access policies of other German universities and research institutions contain the same or a comparable clause.)

Journal declarations of independence

Petersuber: /* 2025 */

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* By a journal ''declaration of independence'', we mean the resignation of editors from a journal in order to launch a comparable journal with a friendlier publisher or less-restrictive access policies. The kinds we are collecting for this list usually have two stages. First, an editor or group of editors resigns from a journal in order to protest its high subscription price or audience-limiting access rules. This is usually accompanied by a public statement explaining "the causes which impel them to the separation" (to quote Thomas Jefferson). Second, some of the resigning editors create a new free or affordable alternative journal to compete with the first and to embody their vision of wide access.
** We include a few cases in which editors resigned ''en masse'' from a journal to protest restrictive access policies, but have not (or not yet) launched a new, less-restrictive journal.
* We borrow the term "declaration of independence" for this phenomenon from [https://sparcopen.org/ SPARC's] 2001 project to assist journals in [https://web.archive.org/web/20151109062238/http://sparc.arl.org/sites/default/files/Declaring_Independence.pdf Declaring Independence] ([https://declaring-independence.org/ revived in 2018]). Of course, SPARC borrowed the term from the U.S. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence Declaration of Independence].
* This list started as a [http://legacy.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/lists.htm#declarations non-wiki list] maintained by [https://cyber.harvard.edu/~psuber/wiki/Peter_Suber Peter Suber], who moved it to OAD in April 2008.
* For data how the new journals fare, after editors resign from an older journal in order to launch the new one, see Mark Wilson, [https://web.archive.org/web/20170413203850/https://mcw.blogs.auckland.ac.nz/2016/10/08/what-happens-to-journals-that-break-away/ What happens to journals that break away?] October 8, 2016.

==1996==

* In December 1996, Shu-Kun Lin resigned as editor of ''Molecules'', then published by Springer-Verlag, and relaunched the journal with Molecular Diversity Preservation International ([http://www.mdpi.org/ MDPI]). Springer sued to prevent Shu-Kun Lin from using the same name for the MDPI journal but eventually dropped its suit.

* In 1998 most of the editorial board of the ''Journal of Academic Librarianship'' resigned to protest the large hike in the subscription price imposed by Pergamon-Elsevier after it bought the journal from JAI Press. Several of the editors who resigned then created ''Portal: Libraries and the Academy'' at Johns Hopkins University Press.

* Over a nine month period in 2001, forty editors of ''Machine Learning'' (Kluwer) resigned from the editorial board and published their reasons in a public letter dated October 8, 2001. One of those resigning, Leslie Pack Kaelbling, created the ''Journal of Machine Learning Research'' as a free online alternative with a quarterly print edition published by MIT Press. About two-thirds of the ''Machine Learning'' editors joined her at the new journal.

==2003==

* Elsevier has published the ''European Economic Review'' since 1969. In 1986 the European Economic Association (EEA) adopted it as its official journal. But the EEA grew increasingly unhappy with Elsevier's subscription price and its requirement that the publisher, not the association, hire the journal's editors. In 2001 the EEA started the process of declaring independence from Elsevier. In March 2003 its new official journal, the ''Journal of the European Economic Association'', was launched by MIT Press at about one-third of the Elsevier subscription price.

The same editors then launched ''Labor'' with non-profit Duke University Press. ''Labor'' is a partner of [http://www.arl.org/sparc/ SPARC], which assisted in the transition and launch.

* On August 13, 2003, the Society for the Internet in Medicine named the open-access ''Journal of Medical Internet Research'' as its new official journal, replacing the subscription-based ''Medical Informatics & Internet in Medicine''. (This is a decision by a scholarly society, not journal editors, but we include it on the list because of the family resemblance to a true declaration of independence.)

* On September 22, 2003, [http://www.compositio.nl/ ''Compositio Mathematica''] announced that it was leaving Kluwer to be published by the London Mathematical Society and distributed by Cambridge University Press (starting in January 2004). The journal's editor of 20+ years, Gerard van der Geer, explained in a public note that the move was triggered by a long series of unwanted Kluwer price increases. The LMS edition of the journal is not free, but priced one-third below the former price.

* On December 31, 2003, the entire editorial board of the ''Journal of Algorithms'' resigned in order to protest the high price charged by the publisher (Elsevier).

* On January 27, 2004, Editor in Chief Dominique Boullier and the entire editorial board of ''Les cahiers du numérique'' resigned from the journal and released an open letter explaining why.

==2005==

* In 2005, Editors Charles and Marie-Louise Steele, George Herrmann, and "21 of the 23 members of the IJSS board of editors" resigned from the ''International Journal of Solids and Structures'' (IJSS) because "there was no indication that the commercial publishers were reversing the pressure for increased profits out of the limited institutional resources."

"We take this step because we believe that scholarly journals — including our own — serve important purposes, and that these purposes are not well-served by commercial publishing. For three decades now, academic journals have suffered from their ownership by for-profit publishers, who have exploited their monopoly position to sharply raise prices, unduly burdening subscribing libraries and shutting out other institutions and individuals from access to research. The recent rise of the author-funded “open access” model has only reinforced academic inequality, since scholars with access to fewer resources are unable to pay the fees that make their work freely accessible; it has also incentivized commercial publishers to try to publish as many articles as possible and so to pressure rigorous journals to weaken or abandon their quality controls."

However, the change did not avert the resignations, since the editors' chief grievance was the publisher's insistence on the exclusive right to appoint members of the editorial board.

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.
* Leibniz University Hannover, Germany, was previously listed ([https://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/index.php?title=University_rights-retention_OA_policies&oldid=29039 added 4 July 2023]) with an opt-in rights retention policy, referencing its [https://www.uni-hannover.de/en/universitaet/profil/leitbild-und-strategien/forschung/open-science/open-access/open-access-policy open access policy (version from June 2022)]. While the policy covers the aspect of transfer of use rights, it merely contains a recommendation to university members to transfer non-exclusive rights for publications. Hence, it should not be considered an institutional rights retention policy. After consultation with the open access department of Leibniz University Hannover, the entry was removed on 21 October 2025. (Leibniz University Hannover was apparently listed here as the only institution from Germany after being referenced in the [https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8084051 2023 ''Opening Knowledge'' report by SPARC Europe]. However, open access policies of other German universities and research institutions contain the same or a comparable clause.)

__NOTOC__

<H1> <font color="steelblue" face="arial"> '''Open Access Directory''' </font> </H1>



The Open Access Directory (OAD) is a compendium of simple factual lists about open access (OA) to science and scholarship, maintained by the OA community at large. By bringing many OA-related lists together in one place, OAD makes it easier for everyone to discover them, use them for reference, and update them. The easier they are to maintain and discover, the more effectively they can spread useful, accurate information about OA. To see what we have, browse the table of contents below, browse the [[:Special:Categories|table of categories]], or use the search box in near the upper right corner. To help the cause, just [http://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&returnto=Special:Userlogout register] and [[Getting_started_as_an_OAD_contributor|start editing]]. If you have any questions, see our [[FAQs]] or [[Contact OAD|drop us a line]].

OAD is a wiki and we count on our users to keep these lists accurate, comprehensive, and up to date. Our goal is for the OA community itself to maintain the lists with little intervention from the [[Editorial Board|editors]] or [[Editorial Board|editorial board]]. We welcome your contributions to the lists, ideas for new lists, and comments to help us improve. Please [mailto:OAD.contact@gmail.com contact] us or use the discussion tabs on individual pages. The OAD is hosted by the [http://www.simmons.edu/gslis School of Library and Information Science] at [http://www.simmons.edu/ Simmons University] and supervised by an independent [[Editorial Board|editorial board]].
