Vision StatementThe creation of new knowledge lies at the heart of the research university and results from tremendous investments of resources by universities, federal and state governments, industry, foundations, and others. The products of that enterprise are created to benefit society. In the process, those products also advance further research and scholarship, along with the teaching and service missions of the university. Reflecting its investments, the academy has a responsibility to ensure the broadest possible access to the fruits of its work both in the short and long term by publics both local and global. Faculty research and scholarship represent invaluable intellectual capital, but the value of that capital lies in its effective dissemination to present and future audiences. Dissemination strategies that restrict access are fundamentally at odds with the dissemination imperative inherent in the university mission.
ImmediateMeeting in Budapest February 14, 2002Freely availableOver the internetScholarship that researchers produce without expectation of paymentOriginal emphasis on articles (i.e., not novels or textbooks)Permission to use without barriers financial legal/permission technical (except for ability to get to the internet)Some use permanent (library perspective of providing perpetual access)Others talk about full-text (the entire document)No longer just articles, but any scholarly researchMore recently, public policy perspective – society benefits from taxpayer supported research made openly accessible
Journals in about 50 languages can be found and all subject areas are welcome. Now there are journals from 98 countries in DOAJ. To maintain the quality of the service we also have to remove titles from DOAJ if they no longer live up to the selection criteria. 94 titles have been removed during 2008.DOAJ is sponsored by the National Library of Sweden INASP, Swedish Library Association, and Lund University.SELF GENERATED INCOMEINPUT FEESAuthor submission chargesArticle processing feesOff-print salesAFFINITY RELATIONSHIPSAdvertising SponsorshipsCo-hosting of conferences and exhibitsALTERNATIVE DISTRIBUTORSConvenience-format licenses or distributor format feeRELATED PRODUCTS AND SERVICESJournal publication in off-line mediaValue-added fee-based servicesELECTRONIC MARKETPLACEContextual E-commerce Community MarketplaceINTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SUBSIDIESINTERNAL SUBSIDIESDues SurchargeGRANTS AND CONTRIBUTIONSFoundation GrantsInstitutional Grants and SubsidiesGovernment GrantsGifts and FundraisingVoluntary ContributorsIn-kind Contributions

Provides the widest possible freedom and flexibility for faculty and others to employ their work for teaching, learning, and research in a fast-changing technological environmentStrengthen universities as institutions through which faculty and others can achieve their aspirations for teaching, learning, and researchFosters the Constitutionally defined purpose of the copyright law:"[t]o promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts."

University Publishing in a Digital Age 5 What will, or should, the future scholarly communications system look like? First, every university that produces research should have a publishing strategy. Ithaka Report, 2007
The Vision
Creation of new knowledge
Investment of resources
Products that benefit society and advance further research, scholarship, and the teaching and service mission
Local and global
Value of intellectual capital is in effective dissemination
www.arl.org/sparc 7
Types of Digital Scholarly Works (n=206) www.arl.org/sparc 8
E-journal –JoVE: Journal of Visualized Experiments
A journal of “video articles”
A for-profit effort, independently supported
The first video journal to be accepted by National Library of Medicine
Review –Bryn Mawr Classical Review
Publishes a “review a day, every day”
Pushes content to subscribers via email list
Low admin costs in general, aside from postage to mail books to reviewers
Preprint Server –PhilSci Archive
Modeled on arXiv
Serves a well-defined niche: philosophy of science
Goal is to stay in the niche, but to serve it well
Encyclopedia –Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
Online reference work for philosophy
Encyclopedia articles are volunteered by academics
~1,000 entries
Continuously updated
Operates from an endowment
Data-based Resource –eBird
Community data project
Amateur-supplied data creates large database for researchers
Trains users and engages them to participate
Large scale makes sponsorship possible
Blog –PEA Soup
Aggregates researchers in this niche field from around the US and the world
Speed of exchanges allows members to work through ideas in days, rather than months or years
List –H-France Forum
Founded in 1991
Goal of mimicking “types of conversations that occurred around the coffee machine”
Restricted access, list moderation, list archiving enhance credibility
Hub –Alzheimer Research Forum
Includes original articles and news updates, as well as job notices and announcements
User generated content includes a “hypothesis factory” where people can post ideas and comment on others.
www.arl.org/sparc 17 A Definition of Open Access Immediate, free electronic availability of research that scholars produce without expectation of payment A vision of scholarly communication in the networked digital environment where: Barriers to access and use the results of research are eliminated Potential usage is maximized Value of research is more fully realized Dysfunctions in the legacy system are addressed An access model, not a business model
18 Open Access Models Two main approaches: Open-access journals – require alternative business models to replace subscription-based models Open-access archives – publicly available digital repositories, exist alongside traditional publishing

Open Access and the Academy www.arl.org/sparc 31 “Open access serves scholarly communication by: facilitating text-mining; data and literature integration; construction of large- scale knowledge structures; and creation of co-laboratories that integrate the scholarly literature directly into knowledge creation and analysis environments… It also honors our commitments to the democratization of teaching, learning, scholarship, and access to knowledge throughout our society and globally.” - Clifford Lynch, CNI, Closing comments, ARL/CNI/SPARC Public Access Forum, October 20, 2006
