Welcome to Nordbib
Nordbib is a funding programme for research and development in the area of Open Access to scholarly and scientific information at a Nordic level. Nordbib itself is funded by Nordforsk and its secretariat placed organisationally in the framework of Danish Agency for Library and Media. The overall purpose of the Nordbib programme is to create a joint Nordic approach to Open Access and research distribution. Read more about the programme here.
NEW: The Nordbib-funded project "OA Barometer 2009" publishes in PLoS ONE and gets mentioned in Nature and Science. See the news item here.
READ: "Nordbib - a success story" - an article in Sciecom Info vol. 5, no. 4, 2009 by Dr. John Duke and Dr. Andrew Jordan here. The authors carried out a comprehensive evaluation of the Nordbib programme in 2009 and reached some very interesting conclusions; for instance that Nordbib has not only uncovered but also furthered a special Nordic dimension of Open Access problems in particular and scholarly communication in general.
SEE: A new online handbook on Open Access journal publishing developed and maintained by Co-Action Publishing, Lund University Library with support from the Nordbib-funded project NOAP. The online guide is here. Read more about NOAP here. |
