Eriko Amano is a Research Administrator at Kyoto University. She had worked as a librarian at Kyoto University and Kyusyu University.

Shinji Mine has been a senior lecturer at Faculty of Humanities, Law and Economics, Mie University since 2010 after having served as an assistant professor at Nagoya University Library Studies. His research interest lies in library and information science, particularly scholarly communication.

Stuart Shieber is James O. Welch, Jr. and Virginia B. Welch Professor of Computer Science in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. His primary research field is computational linguistics, the study of human languages from the perspective of computer science. His research contributions have covered a broad range of areas of inquiry beyond that field as well, extending to theoretical linguistics, natural-language processing, computer-human interaction, automated graphic design, the philosophy of artificial intelligence, computer privacy and security, and computational biology.
His work on open access and scholarly communication policy, especially his development of Harvard's open-access policies, led to his appointment as the first director of the university's Office for Scholarly Communication, where he oversaw initiatives to open, share, and preserve scholarship, and where he continues to advise as faculty director of the office. He was also the founding director of the Center for Research on Computation and Society and is a faculty co-director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society.
Professor Shieber received an AB in applied mathematics summa cum laude from Harvard College in 1981 and a PhD in computer science from Stanford University in 1989. He was awarded a Presidential Young Investigator award in 1991, and was named a Presidential Faculty Fellow in 1993, one of only thirty in the country in all areas of science and engineering. He has been awarded two honorary chairs: the John L. Loeb Associate Professorship in Natural Sciences in 1993 and the Harvard College Professorship in 2001. He was named a fellow of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence in 2004, and the Benjamin White Whitney Scholar at the Radcliffe Institute for 2006-07.

A librarian, working at Nagoya Institute of Technology Library and a member of Planning and Coordinating Working Group of the Digital Repository Federation (DRF).

A librarian, working at Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. Since the launch of JAIST Repository in 2006, she has been in charge of archiving institutional content and management of the system.

Anders Karlsson is Vice President, Global Academic Relations for Elsevier. He received a M.A in Engineering Physics in 1987, and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering in 1992 from the Royal Institute of Technology - KTH, Stockholm, Sweden. From 2001 to 2011 he held a position as Professor of Quantum Photonics at KTH, being active in teaching, research, and research management. He has been Visiting Scientist at NTT Basic Research Laboratories, Tokyo, Stanford University, Palo Alto, Ecole Polytechnique, Paris, and at Zhejiang University, Hang Zhou, in China. He was also active in Science Diplomacy, serving for five years as Counselor for Science and Innovation and Head of the Office of Science and Innovation at the Embassy of Sweden, Tokyo, Japan. He also has an advisory position at the Institute of Academic Initiatives under the University President at Osaka University, Japan.

Antoine (Tony) Bocquet is Director, Asia-Pacific, for the Nature Publishing Group, based in Tokyo, and has over 18 years experience in the academic publishing industry in Asia. Tony joined NPG in 2001 as Asia-Pacific Publisher, became Associate Director in 2005, and was promoted to Director, Asia-Pacific in December 2011. He is responsible for NPG's core operations in the Asia-Pacific region, excluding China. He serves as Head of NPG's Site License Business Unit in the Asia-Pacific, and is responsible for a number of publishing programs such as NPG's Asian Academic Journal program, and the Macmillan Medical Communications unit in Asia. He also serves on the Board of Directors of Nikkei Science Ltd., a joint venture between Scientific American, part of the Nature Publishing Group, and Nikkei Publishing Inc. Prior to joining NPG, Tony served as Managing Editor for John Wiley and Sons in Tokyo between 1998-2001 and as Commissioning Editor for Gordon & Breach between 1996-1998. An Australian by birth, Tony holds a Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo (Physics) and is a graduate of Griffith University in Brisbane. He has lived permanently in Japan since 1994.

A librarian, working at Kagoshima University Library. She is also a member of Planning and Coordinating Working Group of the Digital Repository Federation (DRF).

The speaker will give an overview of Open Access Policies aiming to help attendees better understand and have a common view.

I will discuss four goals of a scholarly communication system -- sustainability, openness, freedom, and efficiency -- and how they are realized in or violated by different potential policies of research supporters and funders such as universities and governmental and private funding agencies. By keeping these goals in mind, pitfalls in designing policies can be avoided, and better policies, promoting the full set of goals, can be designed.

The university of Liege OA policy called "The Liege Model" archives 100% articles deposits on the repository. This section is intended to report the survey and interview about the background, concept and management supporting the OA policy, and discuss the role of institutional OA policies, comparing with Nagoya Institute of Technology OA policy.

JAIST Repository has started operation in May 2007. This presentation will report how they have collected research papers published in scholarly journals and interlinked them with research date management.

With fast developments in Open Access, as part of the larger “Science 2.0” framework, clarity and understanding of which models will benefit the research community and beyond is becoming of increasing importance. In this presentation we will give an overview of Elsevier’s work on open access policies, including text and data mining, giving examples of global agreements with funding bodies and institutions and what are the benefits for the research community.

This talk describes recent developments in open research publishing at Macmillan Science and Education, the umbrella organization of Nature Publishing Group (NPG) and Palgrave Macmillan. In 2013 NPG was the world’s fourth largest open access publisher, publishing over 64 journals with an open access option and over 38% of its content in an open access format. NPG’s first OA options were introduced in 2005 with the introduction of a self-archiving policy allowing deposition of author versions after 6 months. Over recent years NPG has offered new innovations to authors wishing to publish open access through the launch of Nature Communications, the first Nature branded title with an OA option, Scientific Reports, Scientific Data and the Nature Partner Journal series. At the same time, Palgrave Macmillan has worked consistently to implement OA models for humanities and social science (HSS) scholars, who have very different needs and requirements to scientists. The majority of our HSS journals offer an OA option, and earlier this year we launched our first fully OA journal in the HSS space - Palgrave Communications.
