They do a thorough job of analyzing the data they collect and “propose a new metric to rank journals, the J.O.I. Factor (Journal Openness Index), based on measures of openness rather than perceived rank or citation impact. […]

In fact, after publishing this I came across this LibLicense project that hopes to deal with exactly that issue. My ultimate hope would be, that if a journal is fully open access there would be little to no restrictions on re-usability, including interlibrary loans. An issue that we will have to contend with, that this article might hint at, is that many of these complications come from the fact that academic publishing is currently controlled by publishing companies. They have every interest in restricting the access and usability of the content because it is their business model. We are hoping and seeing that initiatives like Library Publishing are altering this system a bit, and it would make sense then that publishing would be more in the interest of information access than restriction. I’m hopeful that the system will evolve so that concerns like yours simply won’t exist anymore.

Thanks for reading, and for the comment!

I’m wondering how you feel about electronic journal license terms on allowing or prohibiting interlibrary loan as another measure of Journal Openness. Often, electronic journal licensing terms are restrictive or unclear, expressly prohibiting or simply deterring libraries from sharing electronic journal articles with other libraries. With print materials, we have Fair Use Best Practices to rely upon; with electronic journals, we additionally have to contend with restrictive licensing terms in addition to copyright matters. This is a frequent barrier we have to contend with in Resource Sharing as we seek to connect users to resources they need.
