   Introduction
   Definitions
   Benefits/disadvantages
   Ways to make your work open access
   Finding open access research




06 March 2013
Introduction




Why library involvement?
  Royal Society published first journal of research findings
1665
  Libraries provide an indexed archive for print journals to
encourage „scholarly communication‟
  Online versions of journals emerged, making sharing
much easier
  Libraries promote ways to access research data – apply
„metadata‟ to enable search to be easier




06 March 2013
Exercise




In groups spend 5 minutes identifying what you think
‘open access’ means: a definition




06 March 2013
Definitions




  “Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of
charge, and free of most copyright and licensing
restrictions” Peter Suber
http://legacy.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/overview.htm
accessed 19.2.13
  Budapest Open Access Initiative 2002
http://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/openaccess/read




06 March 2013
Exercise




In groups spend 5 minutes thinking about advantages
and disadvantages of open access




06 March 2013
Benefits




   “Standing on the shoulders of giants” – Isaac Newton
1676
   Increased readership & some evidence of increased
citations
   Removes cost barrier for researchers in developing
countries or outside academic institutions
   May encourage business collaboration
   Increasingly research funders require OA publishing of
the grant outputs




06 March 2013
Disadvantages




  Version confusion
  Current academic promotion system relies on „prestige‟
journals
  Article processing charge (APC) may deter early career
researchers




06 March 2013
Myths

In fact…
  You can retain copyright if you choose
  Your IP rights are not affected
  There may be peer review/quality control



06 March 2013
How to make your work Open Access




‘Green’ Open Access

  Self-archive – use an institutional or subject repository
  License your copyright, don‟t assign it
  If using a publisher check Sherpa Romeo for restrictions
http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/
  Repository will get more hits than a web page (Google
indexing)




06 March 2013
How to make your work Open Access




‘Gold’ Open Access

  Publication in a journal that makes the article
immediately available
  License your copyright, don‟t assign it
  Repository will get more hits than a web page (Google
indexing)
