上課的過程,發現還是有很多單字不會,所以也因此背了一些新單字,受益良多。

Open Access in the Social Sciences
社會科學的開放近用
(By Ulrich Herb,Saarland University and State Library)

The social sciences can only be vaguely defined:for example, the Brockhaus encyclopaedia provides a broader definition than the classification adopted by DFG (German Research Foundation). In addition, some subjects can be classified as social sciences, natural sciences and humanities.This conglomerate of subjects explains why there are different attitudes towards Open Access within the social sciences.

社會科學可以只被模糊的定義為:
例如,布羅克豪斯百科全書(the Brockhaus encyclopaedia )提供了一個比DFG(德國研究基金會)認可的分類法更廣泛的定義。因此,有些主題、科目可以被分類為社會科學、自然科學及人文學。這些學科的合成解釋了為什麼在社會科學領域的開放近用存在著不同的態度。

However, a DFG study published in 2005 provides some insight: compared to other disciplines, German social scientists have scarce knowledge of Open Access, and of relevant initiatives and declarations. They have less knowledge about relevant Open Access journals and they almost never publish in these kinds of journals. These characteristics are not just evident with respect to first publications with Open Access publishers or in Open Access journals; German social scientists also rarely use Open Access servers for second publications of published documents or of preprints. International inquiries confirm these findings: social scientists publish work on Open Access servers less often than is average in other disciplines and are often not familiar with any Open Access journals in which they could publish their work.

然而,DFG在2005年發表了一個研究成果,提供了一些啟示:相對於其他學科領域,德國社會科學家開始害怕知識的開放近用、相關的創制權及宣言。他們對開放近用期刊相關的知識很少,而且他們幾乎沒有出版這種種類的期刊。這些特點並不是明顯的關心開放近用出版者或開放近用期刊的第一個出版品。德國社會科學家也很少使用開放近用服務的第二個出版品的出版文件或預印本。國際調查證實這些結果:社會科學家出版的開放近用服務平均較其他學科低,而且往往不熟悉他們出版的任何的開放近用期刊。
