Open Access: what do universities need to know?
How do I know what authors from my
institution have published?
How do I know what papers from authors at
my institution have been submitted to
journals?
How do I know what papers from authors at
my institution have accepted in journals?
How do I know what my institution has paid
for OA publications?
How do I know whether my institution /
authors have complied with funder policies?

Open Access: what do authors need to know?
How do I pay to publish Gold OA if
required?
How do I know where I would prefer to
publish?
How do I know what obligations I have
under institutional and funder OA policies?
How do I deposit into a repository if
required?
How do I know whether I have complied
with funder policies?

Open Access: public and private events
Each stakeholder needs certain information at
particular times
Some of that information is held by others
Some of that information might not be easily
shareable:
• It might be confidential (private, commercial, etc)
• It might be difficult or costly to share
• Standards for sharing it might not be established

Research Data Management:
public and private events
• Data management plan marks beginning of
data life cycle
• Collaboration—sharing data with other
researchers
• Publication—releasing data into the public
domain
– Potential for cross-disciplinary use
– Need for additional metadata

Open Access: public and private events
• We are identifying and characterising the
events and associated metadata
• Current focus is on:
– Acceptance – a newly ‘public’ event
– APC payment – a new event
– Publication – an event with a new importance

Open Access: standards and identifiers
Some of these are standards,
curated through established
standards bodies.
But some of these are services,
which need ongoing support
To what extent can these support an “event-
based” approach?

…
Open Access infrastructure sustainability
Knowledge Exchange international programme exploring options:
Phase One: scoping and engagement (Alma Swan, Key Perspectives Ltd)
• What are the critical services?
• Are they needed for ever or for now?
• How “at risk” are they?
Phase Two: business models for collective provision of services (Raym
Crow, SPARC)
• How can collective action be made to support free-to-use services?
Phase Three: tools for funders and service providers, and next steps (Alma
Swan)
• The sustainability index
• Engagement with funders, others…

Some thoughts from the view of a national infrastructure provider
1. Funders of research, and of infrastructure, are never global. At best they are
regional (eg EC), usually they are national or consortium
• But scholarly communications is intrinsically global, and so its services are
global (cf CrossRef)
2. Sometimes we don’t know something will become a service until people start
using it as one.
• There has to be room for innovation, and therefore “graceful failure”
• But there has to be somewhere to take global services when it becomes
clear they are meeting demand
3. Coordination is difficult for national bodies
• Different rules on funding, different funding cycles and instruments, different
constituents…
4. Coordination might be easier between services
• combining their functionality, to present infrastructure / funders with
consolidated offers, based on use cases they care about
