RCUK OA Advocacy Campaign
1. Phase 1 Advocacy campaign
Target audiences: Faculty Research
Committees, School Research Groups, PGR and
Post Doc Training Programmes
Key Messages:
• Explain RCUK OA policy
• Define green and gold OA
• Explain different types of CC licences
• Outline Library Support and how to access it
PLUS: LISTEN to academic concerns
2. Further Actions/Activities
• Set up Open Access Steering Group, jointly led
by Library and Research Office
• Meets bi-monthly and reports to University
Research Committee
• Set up library research support team for gold
and green OA support
• Recruited OA Advocacy Officer and additional
Library Assistant support for gold and green OA
• Revamped OA web pages and developed FAQ
3. Phase 1 Achievements
• Established library as non-judgemental, trusted
agent to “sort it all out”
• Persuaded faculties to move from tri-faculty decision
tree for RCUK payments to a single University Fund
with same conditions for access
• Effective partnership between Library and Research
office
4. The way we were: tri-
faculty workflow for
RCUK OA!
6. Phase 2 Advocacy: HEFCE requirements for
post 2014-REF
Strategic Advocacy
• PVC Research OA briefing
• OA video
• OA key facts postcard
Practical Advocacy
• Library-led briefings at school/institute followed by summary
reports to Faculty Research Committees and OA Steering
Group re issues raised, solutions offered etc.
• “temperature check” before and after briefings
7. Initial Successes:
• Pushing at an open door – advocacy sessions now more
welcome
• Evidence of post-briefing follow up – increase in green
deposits
• Internal system development to help capture date of
acceptance
• Remaining Challenges
• Building robust staffing capacity
• Addressing compliance-monitoring agenda
8. Summary Points
• Advocacy programme has been a slow burn
• We had to be subtle and persuasive
• Persistence pays off!
• Library now assumed to own the OA agenda
• Need to ensure there is ongoing investment in systems and
staffing to support anticipated growth in OA

13. Over to you
If you’re from a UK institution:
• How confident are you about complying with funders’ policies?
• What resources do you need by April 2016?
If you’re from an institution outside the UK:
• How does your own policy landscape differ from the UK’s?
• What issues do you have in your national set-up?
If you’re a publisher:
• How does deposit on acceptance affect you? Are you engaging with
institutions, Jisc and standards organisations to improve processes?
If you provide services to the research community:
• What do you need from publisher/funders/institutions to assist with
compliance?
