9 projects

Until now nine projects have started on the basis of a pledge from Nordbib. All of the projects support the objectives of Nordbib in the best possible way.

 

The first four projects began in 2007: 

• Aiding scientific journals towards open access publishing

• An e-print archive for Nordic arts and humanities (finished)

• Development of information environment architecture for Nordic countries (finished)

• Networks and knowledge dissemination in Nordic Asian study institutions

The first of these came as a result of the call for projects under Work Package 3 with deadline 10 January and the next three projects resulted from the call for projects under Work Package 2 with deadline 1 April 2007.

 

In 2008 a fifth project started:

• ScieCom Info - Nordic-Baltic forum for scientific communication

In 2009 four new projects commenced and are under way now.

• Identifying and explaining digital objects

• OA-barometer 2009

• License to Publish : promoting Open Access and authors' rights in the Nordic social sciences and humanities

• Networks and knowledge dissemination in Nordic Asian study institutions - phase 2

These are the results of Nordbib's second round of calls for its three work packages in the Autumn of 2008.

 

All of the projects come with a self-financing of 60% and Nordbib will be refunding 40% of the costs connected with the project according to a set of guidelines agreed upon with the individual project.
