Support When It Counts - library roles in public access to federally-funded research
Charleston Conference 2013 November 8, 2013 Kristine M. Alpi, Director, William Rand Kenan, Jr. Library of Veterinary Medicine, kmalpi@ncsu.edu William M. Cross, Director, Copyright and Digital Scholarship, NCSU Libraries, wmcross@ncsu.edu Hilary M. Davis, Interim Head, Collection Management & Director of Research Data Services, NCSU Libraries, hmdavis4@ncsu.edu In November 2012, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) said it would begin enforcing its earlier April 2008 public access mandate to NIH-funded research by delaying processing of investigators’ grants. In response, the NCSU Libraries offered to assist the university’s sponsored research office in supporting NC State researchers who had publications stemming from NIH funding and had not achieved compliance. Since the 2008 NIH mandate, over 1000 articles based on NIH-funding have been published by NC State across research areas including veterinary medicine, life sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, engineering, textiles, design, math and statistics. Many were published in journals which did not automatically deposit papers to meet NIH requirements. Although familiar with biomedical literature, author agreements and open access, we did not fully grasp the complex web of investigator, author, publisher, institution and funder relations involved in this mandate until we were deeply engaged in the process and gained access to the compliance monitoring data. In this paper, we will discuss the costs and benefits of library support for authors needing to attain compliance with an eye toward how this support may be scaled up if other federal funding agencies follow suit. We will share practical strategies for supporting compliance efforts for individual researchers and at the campus-wide level, as well as training newly-funded researchers to facilitate future compliance. We discuss the advantages of leveraging existing relationships with publishers to help their researchers, strategies for getting involved in compliance support, and insights on how to skill-up and scale-up when engaging in this part of the research process.

- 11. December 2012 Message to Funded Scholars Subject: Libraries' support NIH-funded scholars in meeting NIH Public Access mandate The NCSU subject librarians and the CDSC (http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/askus) can help you achieve compliance with the mandate to make research related to your NIH funding available through PubMed Central. We can: Figure out whether you are already in compliance with the mandate for public access to your NIH-funded research Guide you in reviewing the publication agreements for your future and past articles to see whether or not your publishers will be making your work available, or whether you will need to directly submit your manuscripts Work with you to create or maintain a My Bibliography account in MyNCBI that contains both your articles indexed by PubMed, and any funded research articles published in journals not indexed by PubMed Help you or your delegate submit published manuscripts to PubMed Central when needed Help you or your delegate use your ERA Commons account for linking your PubMed Central article IDs to your grant progress reports Help train your students or collaborators or delegates to assist with maintaining your funded research projects' compliance • • • • • • NCSU Libraries All available at: https://www.lib.ncsu.edu/cdsc/copyright/authors#NIH
