This document summarizes a presentation about open access mandates in the UK and their implications. It discusses the key recommendations of the Finch Report that supported gold and hybrid open access. It outlines influential open access mandates from funders like Wellcome Trust and Research Councils UK. It also discusses HEFCE's green open access policy and the total cost of ownership for universities between journal subscriptions and publication fees. Finally, it examines challenges for open access in the humanities given lower research funding levels compared to STEM fields.

Knowledge Unlatched: Enabling Open Access for Scholarly BooksLucy Montgomery
Although digital technology has made it possible for many more people to access content at no extra cost, fewer people than ever before are able to read the books written by university-based researchers. This presentation explores the role that open access licenses and collective action might play in reviving the scholarly monograph: a specialised area of academic publishing that has seen sales decline by more than 90 per cent over the past three decades. It also introduces Knowledge Unlatched an ambitious attempt to create an internationally coordinated, sustainable route to open access for scholarly books. Knowledge Unlatched is now in its pilot phase.

Open access for the inaugural @OpenResLDN meeting 2015 01 19Chris Banks
Slides that I will speak to at the inaugural meeting of OpenResLDN on 19th January 2015. January 2015 sees the 350th anniversary of the first ever journal publication - the Journal des Savants. We are now in the 21st year of the Open Access movement and the UK and European policies are really beginning to drive change and innovation. That change is not fast enough for some, and for others - particularly those covered by the policies, or seeking to implement policy - just a little too fast sometimes.
Modern research metrics and new models of evaluation have risen high on the academic agenda in the last few years. In this session two UK institutions who have adopted such metrics across their faculty will share their motivations and experiences of doing so, and explain further how they are integrating these data into existing models of review and analysis.

The German Research Foundation’s (DFG) researcher-oriented perspective on the ‘open’ paradigm and the Dutch Research Foundation’s (NWO) open access requirements will be depicted as national examples. Finally, the session will elaborate on recent international trends and developments regarding the need to better align policies, the attempts to invest already available resources for transitioning towards open access, and the growing awareness that a dedicated infrastructure is needed in order to implement any open access policy.

Responses to recent concerns raised by the Publishers' Association about plans to introduce a model open access policy for UK Higher Education Institutions in order to simplify the complex funder and publisher policy environment currently experienced by UK academics.
This presentation begins with a brief overview of some of the policy developments that are prompting the publishers of scholarly books to begin taking open access seriously.
It then touches on why open access challenges for books differ from those associated with journal articles.

The last two decades has seen a dramatic shift in book cover design treatment at many university presses. At one time, covers were treated as tasteful ornament to serious work, often as restrained as the book’s scholarly prose, rarely eliciting spirited discussion. Cover designs are now treated as serious marketing tools, with multiple designs, multiple rounds, and, occasionally, heated debate. While academic writing is no more accessible today than it was twenty years ago, and print runs are likely to be way less than half what they used to be, are we deluded to care so much about book covers? Or are first impressions even more critical for those very reasons? Two designers, a sales manager, and an acquiring editor discuss the phenomenon, doing their best not to come to blows.

Liam has worked at Jisc Collections since 2003 as Collections Manager, Collections Team Manager and Head of Licensing, in which roles he was involved in the negotiation and licensing of a wide range of e-content agreements on behalf of universities, colleges and museum libraries. Liam has also been involved in a large number of projects associated with copyright and licensing, especially the adoption of machine-readable licences, as well as providing consultancy and advice to the NHS, SLIC and a variety of overseas consortia on the negotiation and procurement of e-content. Most recently Liam has been seconded to lead the Knowledge Base+ project building a shared academic community knowledge base for UK institutions.

Transitional agreements were developed in response to funder policy and institutional demand to constrain costs and facilitate funder compliance. They have since become the dominant model by which UK research outputs are made open access. In January 2023, Jisc instigated a critical review of TAs and the OA landscape to provide an evidence base to inform a conversation on the desired future state of research dissemination. This session will discuss the key findings of the review and its impact on a sector-wide consultation and concrete actions in the UK and beyond.

As open access continues to expand with increased emphasis on an building equitable and inclusive future for scholarly communications, a number of collective approaches have emerged, with libraries/consortia entering into partnerships with publishers. This talk will aim to clarify the various approaches undertaken, explaining their theoretical foundations and their grounding in collective action theory. Whether motivating partnership based on disciplinary interests (as in SCOAP3), mission alignment (PLOS CAP) or financial self-interest (Subscribe to Open), the talk will illuminate the levers and functional components of each model, to enable greater awareness of the diversity of collective approaches, and inform greater confidence in investment in collective open access models.
Open Access Funds: Getting a Bigger Bang for Our Buckspmoore3415
Bobby Glushko, Crystal Hampson, Patricia Moore, Elizabeth Yates.
Many libraries offer open access publishing funds to support authors in paying article processing charges (APC) levied by some OA journals. However, there are no standard practices for managing or assessing these funds. This situation prompted the Canadian Association of Research Libraries’ Open Access Working Group (OAWG) to investigate and articulate best practices for successful open access fund management. In spring 2015, as part of this endeavor, the OAWG surveyed the 14 Canadian academic libraries with OA funds to review their criteria and collect feedback. The need for this information is increasingly important given that the sustainability of these funds is under review at most institutions. Budget constraints are forcing some institutions revisit or reconfigure these funds. At the same time, Canada’s new Tri-Agency Open Access Policy on Publications (effective May 2015) mandates open access for funded research and is increasing the demand from researchers who are seeking financial support from their institutions to pay APCs. This session will share the survey results, including the overview of relevant findings from international praxis and professional literature. The presenters will highlight the project’s recommendations regarding best practices for open access publishing fund management as well as other strategies developed by international agencies including SPARC. Audience members are invited to contribute comments, ideas and experiences from their own institutions. Attendees will take away ideas for establishing and managing open access publishing funds.
This presentation was given at the Library Research Forum at La Trobe University, Melbourne, on 25 October 2013. Issues covered include what is green open access, what is gold open access, the scene in the UK, Europe, US and Australia. What are funding bodies doing to encourage open access? What is La Trobe University doing?
Open Access and PLOS: The Future of Scholarly Publishing - Dr. Virginia BarbourUQSCADS
In this presentation, Dr. Barbour discussed the emergence of open access from traditional publishing models, the current open access landscape where PLoS journals have foreshadowed the development of megajournals as well as predicting future developments.
In defining the Open Access Publishing model, Dr. Barbour emphasized the crucial role creative commons licences play in ensuring that research is not only available free to view online, but is able to be re-used.

We often hear that we are in a transitional phase of open access publishing, but it is not always clear how we will reach a fully open access environment, what that will look like and what it means for scholarly research. This webinar will draw insights from a librarian survey we ran in 2015, discussing areas where librarians feel a lack of confidence and presenting technical and policy developments.
Register to gain a deeper understanding of:
• The historical and political context of scholarly publishing
• Funder and other policy requirements for Open Access (e.g. HEFCE and RCUK in the UK, Horizon2020 in Europe and NIH is the USA)
• Developing models of OA including “Gold”, “Green” and “hybrid”
• Jisc support services for OA
• Social media and OA – e.g. “Altmetrics” (alternative metrics) as potential indicators of impact beyond the traditional readership of scholarly material

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 2012 “Finch Report” - UK
» Ten recommendations, including:
› Support for publication in open access or hybrid journals, funded by APCs, as
the main vehicle for the publication of research
› The Research Councils and other public sector bodies funding research in the UK
should establish more effective and flexible arrangements to meet the costs of
publishing in open access and hybrid journals
› During the transition to OA publishing, funds should be found to extend and
rationalise current licences to cover all the institutions in those sectors
› Future discussions between universities and publishers on the pricing of big
deals should take into account the financial implications of the shift to
publication in open access and hybrid journals, of extensions to licensing

What is Jisc Collections’ remit?
» Guiding framework is the Finch report
“Future discussions between universities and publishers on the pricing of big
deals should take into account the financial implications of the shift to
publication in open access and hybrid journals, of extensions to licensing”
» RLUK (with which we are working closely) has a number of concerns
about the implementation of UK open access policies:
› transparency of publisher costs
› double-dipping
› the total cost of Journal Agreements and OpenAccess at institutional level
» Jisc Collections’ purpose is to discuss the “Total Cost of Ownership”
with publishers and to mitigate unaffordable increases in costs at the
local level

UK Library budget problem
20. 20
Block RC grants don’t solve the problem
» Finite: only two years secure
» Insufficient in medium term
› Predicted OA growth trend would see block grant exceeded soon
› Even if it did continue only at present levels, smaller HEIs already close to
spending their small grants
» Does not cover all research
› What happens when authors not funded by RCUK want to publish in
hybrid journals?

Of £3 billion invested in UK research
» Funding Focus is on STEM
» The ESRC is the UK's largest organisation for funding research on economic
and social issues. It supports independent, high quality research which has an
impact on business, the public sector and the third sector.The ESRC's total
budget for 2013/14 is £212 million.At any one time the ESRC supports over
4,000 researchers and postgraduate students in academic institutions and
independent research institutes
» The AHRC supports research into arts and humanities. It uses public funding
of approximately £98 million per annum to fund research among one quarter
of the UK's research population.

The problem in numbers
» Assume:
› An Institution spends £20,000 per year in subscription fees
with a publisher with an annual 3% price increase cap
› The Institution has typically published 11 articles based on
RCUK-funded research each year with that publisher
› The publisher’s APC is £2,200 per article
› The Institutional compliance with the RCUK mandate is 40%
in year 1, 60% in year 2 and 100% year 3 onwards

Cumulative % increases in charges
» 51% increase in Institutional Expenditure 2013-14
» 79% increase in Institutional Expenditure 2013-15
» 130% increase in Institutional Expenditure 2013-16
» …and on and on
