Study by the Research Information Network in late 2009
• 40% of researchers have trouble accessing journal
literature at least once per week
• 60% of researchers say access limitations hinder their
research
• 18 % said the hindrance was significant
Knowledge access- South-North gap
Indian Institute of Science, subscribed to 10,600 journals
Yale University, subscribed to more than 100,000 journals
Problem
5. Marie-Pierre VIDONNE- June 2017 5
Subscriptions to journals
• Research showed that journal prices outpaced inflation
by 250% over 30 years , +7% /year. (Data from Association
for Research Libraries)
• An Elsevier journal called Tetrahedron (The International
Journal for the Rapid Publication of Full Original Research
Papers and Critical Reviews in Organic Chemistry) costs
almost $40,000 a year.
• $20-50 to read an article if your university, institution
company does not subscribe to that particular journal.
Problem

Stakeholders
Revolution:
Over the last 15 years
almost all publishing of
scholarly peer reviewed
journals has migrated to
electronic web publishing
as the main
dissemination channel.

10. Declarations & Intitiatives
Public Library of Science (PLoS) Open Letter, 2001
The letter urged scientific and medical publishers to make published research available for
distribution through free online public archives.
Signed by 34,000 scientists pledging to boycott publishers that do not allow free access to
any material they publish after six months.
The Budapest, Bethesda, and Berlin declarations, known colloquially as BBB, represent
three international public statements on open access publishing that form the foundation
of the worldwide Open Access movement. According to professor and scholar Peter Suber,
editor of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter, BBB represent community consensus on the
definition of the term open access.
Budapest Open Access Initiative (February 14, 2002)
The Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) was launched following a meeting convened in
Budapest by the Open Society Institute (OSI) on December 1-2, 2001. The purpose of the
meeting was to accelerate progress in the international effort to make research articles in
all academic fields freely available on the Internet. The BOAI encapsulates what the open
access movement is all about, and what its potential is. It promotes open access through
self-archiving and open-access journals across all academic fields.

Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing (June 20, 2003)
The Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing was drafted during a one-day meeting
held on April 11, 2003 at the headquarters of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in
Chevy Chase, Maryland with a goal to promote open access in the biomedical research
community. It established "open access" as the term to describe initiatives to make
information more widely and easily available. It builds on the BOAI by saying how users
(i.e. researchers, libraries, publishers and funding agencies) will enact open access.
Specifically, open access practitioners will put content online with a license granting rights
for reuse including the right to make derivative works.
Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities, (October
22, 2003)
The Berlin Declaration on open access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities was
signed on
22 October 2003 at the Max-Planck Institute in Berlin by representatives of several
German and international research organizations regarding open access to scientific
knowledge. Berlin is the broadest (and latest) consensus of the Open Access community.

• Preprint: original version of the manuscript as it is submitted to a
journal
• Postprint: document that has been through the peer review
process and incorporated reviewers comments. It is the final
version of the paper before it is sent off the the journal for
publication
• Publisher: version of record that is published on the publishers
website. It will look quite spiffy, having been professionally
typeset by the publisher. Library databases will link to this
version of the paper
