3. • "By "open access" to this literature, we mean its free availability on the
public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute,
print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for
indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other
lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than
those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only
constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for
copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the
integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and
cited.”

6. Green Open Access (or self-archiving) – Around the
time of publication, the author deposits a pre-print, or
the actual published article, in an institutional repository
for gratis use by anyone.
Gold Open Access – The author or author’s
institution pay a fee to the publisher when their paper
is accepted for publication. The publisher thereafter
makes the material available free at the point of
access (through a Gold OA journal).
Toll Access – The author submits their publication
and the publisher makes it available for a fee through
a database or website.
8. What do you currently advise if asked about OA?
9. Not so recent, and recent developments
• “Double Dipping” by publishers
• HEFCE require that any article that will be used in REF 2020 is
uploaded to institutional or subject repository within 3 months of
acceptance for publishing
• so all/any university staff doing research will be increasingly
conscious of this
• Impact on publisher income is leading to difficulties for JISC in
negotiating an offset deal
• Dutch universities taking steps to boycott Elsevier
10. Why is publishing data important?
• Systematic review of reboxetine, a third generation anti-depressant
• 13 trials, published and unpublished data
• (searched: Bibliographic databases (Medline, Embase, PsycINFO,
BIOSIS, and Cochrane Library), clinical trial registries, trial results
databases, and regulatory authority websites)
• 74% of patient data previously unpublished
• Reboxetine is “overall an ineffective and potentially harmful
antidepressant”
• Contradicts findings of previous reviews which considered only
published data

Offsetting deal
There have also been difficulties in the UK in relation to negotiations over payment for Open Access. Elsevier has consistently resisted efforts by Jisc to negotiate an offsetting deal – where a publisher provides some sort of concession for the fact that universities in the UK are paying unprecedented amounts in Article Processing Charges on top of their subscriptions because of the RCUK open access policy.
Elsevier is the world’s largest academic publisher. According to their Annual Report the 2014 STM revenue was £2,048 million, with an operating profit of £762 million. This is a profit margin of 37%. That means if we pay an Article Processing Charge of $3000 then $1,170 of that (taxpayers’) money goes directly to the shareholders of Elsevier.
Dutch boycott
As a first step in boycotting the publisher, the Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU) has asked all scientists that are editor in chief of a journal published by Elsevier to give up their post. If this way of putting pressure on the publishers does not work, the next step would be to ask reviewers to stop working for Elsevier. After that, scientists could be asked to stop publishing in Elsevier journals.
The 2015 Dutch boycott is significant. Typically negotiations with publishers occur at an institutional level and with representatives from the university libraries. This makes sense as libraries have long standing relationships with publishers and understand the minutiae of the licencing processes . However the Dutch negotiations have been led by the Vice Chancellors of the universities. It is a country-wide negotiation at the highest level. And Vice Chancellors have the ability to request behaviour change of their research communities.
