On Cultural Heritage
and Scholarly Communication
The digital revolution enabled the digital
preservation of cultural heritage
and its expansion in terms of
accessibility and availability.
Preserving cultural heritage through
OA publishing, collecting and archiving
is the new frontier
to be achieved and improved.

The Biblioteca di Studi di Filologia Moderna
OA Project and Publishing Workshop
The Open Access Publishing Workshop has been
implemented since 2006 by the Dept. of Languages,
Literatures and Intercultural Studies at the University of
Florence (experimental phase start in1999).
The OAPW is financially supported by the University
of Florence and by the Dept. of Languages, Literatures
and Intercultural Studies.
It attempts to promote, develop and interrelate,
within the context of the Department, the two
main ways of achieving open access.

The Open Access Movement: Budapest
2001: Meeting held in Budapest and organised by
George Soros’ Open Society Institute (OSI).
February 2002: Budapest Open Access Initiative
(BOAI) document.
BOAI proposed two strategies/two roads:
1. The Green Road
Have researchers make their pre- and post-prints
freely
available on the web, on institutional and subject
repositories.
2. The Gold Road
Create new OA journals and monographs and
charge authors/funders to publish (author-pays

 The OAPW premise is:
 to rationalize expenses
 to guarantee a more influential scientific research
 to guarantee safer working environment for researchers, mainly as
regards intellectual property
 to storage scientific data into Florence National Library and
University Digital Archive
 to disseminate them open access on the web
 to give students a concrete know-how on digital publishing
 Volumes and journals are fully open access as to their content
accessibility.
 Publishing policies go hand in hand with the philosophical
and political concept of the Open Access Movement.
 OAPW and FUP have achieved a contract model which is
based on the 2012 UNIFI open access policy.
