Complementary Analysis

The arrival of a new operator on the Italian high-speed railway (HSR) market, its maintanance and its market share made Italian open access experience one of the most successful liberalization models in the HSR sector. Researchers noticed that since the entry of the new operator, expansion of Italian HSR market is mostly due to the presence of this new operator. The aim of this article is to establish whether there were some other characteristics of the Italian HSR market that may explain this success even if it may be in opposition with what theory commonly suggests about competition in HSR markets. This research tries to do a complementary analysis by making a comparison with another successful HSR market that is not already liberalized: the French HSR market. After retracing supply, demand and markets maturity of Rome–Milan and Paris–Marseille lines, results reveal that supply and demand evolutions in both markets were very similar, if not identical after the commissioning of HSR. It suggests that liberalization may not be the only explanation of the significant evolution of Italian HSR market but that the opening of new infrastructures may also lead to positive trends that remain until markets reach a high level of maturity. This maturity understood as the residual capacity of the network and partially determined by infrastructure improvement seems to be another variable that had influenced the success of NTV. Indeed, before liberalization, Italian HSR network was far from saturation that allowed new entrant to capture important market shares.

The Commons

Open access commons are a family of institutional arrangements that are far more pervasive in modern complex economies than usually recognized in the economic literature. The defining characteristic of open access commons is their utilization of symmetric use privileges for an open, undefined set of users in the public, rather than asymmetric exclusive control rights located in the hands of an individual legal entity or defined group (club) use, and their primary reliance on queuing and some form of governance-based allocation, rather than price-cleared models, for congestion clearance and management. The chapter includes an overview of the commons literature, thumbnail case studies of the emergence of open access commons in the digitally networked environment, and a typology of open access commons and their proprietary parallels. The emergence of open access commons reflects the combined effect of innovation economics under highly uncertain conditions and the diversity of human motivations.

Opening Up

This chapter presents a set of case studies focusing on our public engagement in the context of the movement to create a more open, transparent, and sharing culture through open access to research products. The NCSU Libraries’ work is grounded in open culture and programs that introduce students to open tools and practice have been a powerful way to help students learn to work collaboratively and transparently, as well as prepare a portfolio of their accomplishments. The ways we have designed, organized, and promoted library tools, spaces, and expertise connect our students with the communities where they live today and the lives they will build going forward, whether they choose a career in academia, industry, or the arts. These projects are justa few components of a broader series of programming designed to demonstrate the commitment the NCSU Libraries bring to supporting students as producers, the challenges inherent to this work, and the ways in which the Libraries can support and articulate the value of student creations. While actively exploring and engaging in this space, we do not purport to have the answers and are still investigating how best to provide emerging scholars and creative students with the tools, spaces, and resources to share, save, and disseminate their work.

Scholarly Journals

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented an opportunity for academic libraries to advance open access (OA) to scholarly articles. Awareness among faculty on the importance of OA has increased significantly during the pandemic, as colleges and universities struggle financially and seek sustainable access to high-quality scholarly journals. Consortia have played an important role in establishing negotiation principles on OA journal agreements. While the number of OA agreements is increasing, case studies involving individual libraries are still limited. This paper reviews existing literature on publisher negotiation principles related to OA journal negotiations and reflects on recent cases at an academic library in Pennsylvania, in order to identify best practices in OA journal negotiations. It provides recommendations on roles, relationships, and processes, as well as essential terms of OA journal agreements. This study’s findings are most relevant to large academic libraries that are interested in negotiating with scholarly journal publishers independently or through consortia.

Recent Version

In this article, we present an updated version of the PoreBlazer code, an open access, open source Fortran 90 programme to calculate structural properties of porous materials. The article describes the properties calculated by the code, their physical meaning and their relationship to the properties that can be measured experimentally. We reflect on the progress of the code over the years and discuss features of the most recent version. The results of these calculations, along with the PoreBlazer code, documentation, and case studies are available online from https://github.com/SarkisovGroup/PoreBlazer.
