Open Access Advocacy: Failure and Successes Leslie Chan
In this presentation I share personal reflection with regard to failures in Open Access advocacy, and draw lessons on how we could move forward based on past mistakes.
Open Access Publishing: An Author's PerspectiveLaura Gogia
This document provides an overview of open access publishing from an author's perspective. It defines open access as permitting users to access, use, and distribute scholarly articles without financial, legal, or technical barriers. The document discusses various open access models used by publishers, the gold and green routes for authors to pursue open access, trends in open access publishing numbers and disciplines, article processing charges, and resources for authors to consider open access options and evaluate journals.
Predatory journals aggressively market themselves and promise quick publication for a fee without providing proper editorial or publishing services. Their main goal is financial gain rather than communicating science. They take advantage of researchers in developing countries and the focus on quantity over quality of publications. Features of predatory journals include lack of contact information, broad topics to attract articles, and claims of being leading publishers without following standard practices. The rise of these journals is fueled by academic performance indicators, focus on quantity, and lack of oversight in scholarly publishing. Researchers must carefully check for journals on blacklists and follow transparency of peer review processes to avoid being preyed upon by predatory journals.
It appears highly probable that immediate open access publishing
will become the default mode for scholarly publishing – for the
biosciences first, other sectors later. ‘Immediate’ open access
means unfettered publication as soon as a scholarly work is
ready, with no embargo period. The costs of making a scholarly
artefact available can be reduced without sacrificing quality. This
interactive session will sketch the argument for these claims and
will present several value-added services that publishers could
develop to thrive in an open access world.
This document discusses various models for publishing open access monographs. It outlines crowd-sourced models where the community helps fund projects, models where universities or research grants fund open access publications, and models where libraries pay publication fees. It also discusses using out-of-copyright works or fair use exceptions to digitize and publish older works openly. Different models can increase community engagement, tap new funding sources, or make work openly accessible depending on the funding source and copyright status.
Presentation at a public event at C asean, hosted by the National Innovation Agency of Thailand. This talk provides an overview of the Open and Collaborative Science in Development Network, its history, goals, research objectives and the network partners. In particular, it highlights the rationale behind the drafting of a set of principles underlying a vision of open science that has at its core a commitment to equitable participation in the production and circulation of scientific knowledge.
This document discusses academic publishing and proposes an alternative called "Scientific Polyfoils" which would visualize the network of scholarly articles and their relationships. It argues that academic publishers currently have a monopoly like organized crime and charge excessive prices. Technological and social changes could disrupt this model. The proposed Polyfoils would make an individual article's influences and influences within its field visible, activating the social network of scholars and empowering them against publishers. Diagrams show how Polyfoils would allow readers to see layers of related scholarly works connected to the article.
What the open access movement doesn't want you to knowPattie Pattie
The document discusses issues with the open-access movement that advocates often ignore or downplay. It notes that while open-access aims to provide free access to research, it shifts costs from consumers to authors through article processing fees. This can disadvantage researchers from less-funded institutions. Additionally, the document raises concerns about the exploitative practices and poor quality control of many open-access journals, including fake peer review processes and publishing dubious scientific claims to promote political agendas. The open-access model is seen as prioritizing authors over readers and eliminating value-added services from traditional publishers.

This document discusses open access to academic journals and research. It provides background on open access models like gold OA (immediate availability via journal) and green OA (available via repositories). It examines reasons for the incomplete transition to open access, including funder policies being too weak, publisher opposition over profits, researcher confusion, and reliance on impact factors. It outlines remaining challenges like getting the message to academics and fair APC payment mechanisms. It also references responses to the "Bohannon sting" experiment and the Research Works Act proposal in the US opposing federal policies enabling open access.
This document discusses open access publishing models as an opportunity or threat to scholarly publishers. It defines open access as providing free access to research articles online with different business models than traditional print journals. Key drivers of open access include ubiquitous internet access, increasing research volumes, and rising journal prices. Open access journals have article processing fees paid by authors' grants and shift costs from readers to authors. Strategic issues for publishers include threats to revenue but also opportunities to rethink business models to incorporate open access options. Over time, open access is expected to moderate prices while benefiting readers and libraries.
The Future of Open Science and How to Stop itLeslie Chan
Presentation at the Open Science panel at the launch of Steps Latina America. The talk attempts to situate the rational and objectives of the Open and Collaborative Science in Development Network within the broader landscape of discourse on "openness". While recognizing the potential benefits of openness, it is important to keep in mind the existing structural inequality in global scientific knowledge production and circulation and reflect on the needs to challenge this power asymmetry as a starting point for further understanding on how open science may contribute to development challenges.
What Will Be The Impact of Future Changes in Digital Scholarship on Marine Bi...Philip Bourne
The document discusses the potential impact of future changes in digital scholarship on marine biodiversity research. It notes that current scholarly communication occurs too slowly, reaches too few people, and costs too much. Open access publishing could help address some of these issues by providing free, online access to research. Examples are given of how digital tools and open data sharing could help broaden scientific awareness, integrate data and literature, and leverage open access research to find areas for further study. The author encourages attendees to consider how their own fields could take advantage of new digital scholarship opportunities.
Opportunities and Challenges of establishing Open Access Repositories: A case...Sukhdev Singh
National Informatics Centre had established a subject repository in May 2005. It is meant for Medical and Allied Sciences and named as OpenMED@NIC . It has MeSH® based subject categorization and this makes it one of its own kind. Taking OpenMED@NIC as a case – this paper discusses key issues in establishing and maintaining an open access repository. Librarians and information science professionals can play active role in providing access and exposure to quality research and academic content generated in their institutions. Mature and standard open sources softwares are now available for setting up repositories. Libraries can install one of these on existing institutional or library servers to setup repositories. However to ensure better access and faster response time dedicated hardware and reliable connectivity would be required. Librarians and information science professional can play important role in exposing intellectual content produced by their organizations. They can take of various roles like – generating awareness among staff, researchers and students about benefits of self arching in institutional or subject repositories; training them in uploading their articles and other documents in such repositories; acting as meta-data editors and repositories managers. Establishing a repository, administrating and inviting authors to deposit their articles and other works in it is golden opportunity available to librarians and information science professionals. This opportunity should be grabbed with open hands.
This document discusses the background and motivation for a research study. It notes that the scholarly communication system established 350 years ago by Henry Oldenburg is now in crisis, as even the wealthiest libraries cannot purchase all academic publications. Journal prices have risen much faster than inflation or library budgets in recent decades. As a result, more than half of one research institute's journal subscription budget in India goes to only two large publishing companies, comprising over 10% of its total budget. This shows the system created by Oldenburg to share knowledge is now broken and compromises future scientific development.
Open Access: Identifying Quality Journals & Avoiding Predatory Publishersciakov
Slideshow for presentation on open access. Topics include defining Gold OA (APCs, business models, subsidies), OA citation advantage, predatory publishers, whitelists/blacklists.
This document discusses open access in scholarly publishing. It notes that while researchers do much of the work in publishing (e.g. peer review), large publishers then take control of the copyright and charge high fees to access the work. This limits accessibility and costs libraries large sums. Open access aims to make research freely available online without paywalls or strict copyright limits on use. However, scholars face pressure to publish in high prestige journals, even if they are not open access. Metrics like impact factor are flawed but still influence careers. The document argues for open access on ethical grounds to make knowledge widely available, and notes it does not necessarily mean lower quality.

From closed to Open Access
This document summarizes how open access publishing is changing the way research is disseminated. It provides a brief history of scholarly publishing, outlines the benefits and limitations of traditional closed access models, and defines open access. Open access provides free online access to peer-reviewed research and is growing due to funder and institutional mandates. While it increases access and sharing, open access faces challenges around quality control and funding publication fees. The future may see greater open access support and alternative models like preprint servers and fluid embedded papers.
Presentation for NISO's Virtual Conference: 'Scholarly Communication Models: Evolution or Revolution?'
Speaking as himself, rather than as the Managing Director of DOAJ, Lars Bjørnshauge gives his own views on what is wrong with the current state of publishing, open access, and the culture of prestige, tenure and promotion within academic institutions.
Presented on 23rd September 2015
The document discusses the Open Library of Humanities (OLH), an open access publishing platform and initiative for the humanities. It outlines some of the key differences between humanities publishing and STEM/social sciences publishing. It also discusses drivers for open access "from above" through national mandates and "from below" through academic attitudes. The OLH addresses issues of quality, prestige and funding in humanities publishing through innovations like a megajournal, multi-journal platform, book publishing partnerships, and a Library Partnership Subsidy business model. Finally, it discusses opening up scholarly dialogue through developing annotation tools.

3. Google's Chrome browser celebrated its 5th anniversary in September 2013, having grown to around 17% of the global browser market share.
This document discusses the ROAD project, which is developing a directory of open access scholarly resources. It notes the significant growth in open access journals and repositories. ROAD aims to provide a global view of open access production by collecting ISSN records of open access resources and enriching them with data from indexing services, metrics, and registries. Its features will include faceted searching, coverage information, and downloadable records. Future steps include expanding resource types covered, enhancing records, and developing partnerships and classifications.
Open Access in the World of Scholarly Journals: creation and discoveryNASIG
Access to scholarly journals produced by commercial publishers is becoming more and more expensive, and open access to publicly-funded research results is increasingly mandated by funding bodies. In response to these and other motivators, the open access scholarly journal movement is growing. In the Canadian context, open access publishing has begun to get more traction in response to these factors, and in spite of some resistance by researchers. University and college libraries are getting involved in both the promotion and the creation of open access content. An example of this is the University of Lethbridge Journal Incubator, which publishes three open access journals from the University Library. We will explore some of the benefits and drawbacks of open access in scholarly communications.
One model of open access is the hybrid journal, which causes particular challenges for discovery and access. With access restricted at the article, rather than the journal level, it's surprisingly hard to get library users to OA content through catalogs, link resolvers, or even discovery tools. Chris will investigate some of the roadblocks and consult with publishers, librarians, and service providers to see what is currently being done to overcome this challenge. Are readers currently getting to OA content in hybrid journals through library systems and sites? Is the NISO License and Access Indicators Recommended Practice likely to change current practices? How are discovery tool vendors responding to this challenge? Can service providers outside of the traditional library content and software sector have an impact? After investigating all of these angles Chris will try to determine if there is a likely way forward and share what attendees can do to improve access to Hybrid OA journals in the short and long term.

USU Policy 535: Open Access to Scholarly Articles. What it is and what it mea...Andrew Wesolek
USU implemented an open access policy in 2012 that grants the university a nonexclusive license to distribute faculty scholarly articles. The policy aims to increase access and impact of faculty work by making articles openly available online through the university's digital repository. It does not dictate where faculty can publish or hamper their ability to do so. Authors can opt-out of the policy by requesting a waiver from the library. The library assists faculty in understanding publisher agreements and depositing appropriate article versions in the repository to comply with the policy and its goal of open dissemination of scholarly research.
Open Access Scholarly Publishing models for SSHOpenEdition
This document discusses open access scholarly publishing models for the social sciences and humanities. It provides an overview of OpenEdition, an open access publishing platform, and its various publications including journals, monographs, blogs, and event programs that are freely accessible online. It also discusses some of the economic models used by open access publishers, including article and book processing charges, as well as funding sources that can support sustainable open access publishing.

Open Access to Scholarly Research: Implications for Research Libraries, Presented in International Meeting Workshop on Library Information Systems and Services: Challenges and Opportunities (under the People to People Ambassador Programs, USA) at CSIR-NISTADS , November 5, 2014. This is a bilateral collaborative LIS Program between Indian & US Librarians.
Open Access India is an online group advocating for open access to scholarly research in India's National Agricultural Research System (NARS). It was formed in 2011 and has over 2300 members. The group aims to increase awareness of open access, provide training, develop policies, and establish repositories for researchers to share their work openly. Currently there are over 90 open access repositories and 450 open access journals in India, though growth has been slow in NARS due to various challenges. Open Access India partners with organizations like CIARD and the FAO to advance open access globally and populate existing repositories.
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.

Fifty shades of green and gold: open access to scholarly informationhierohiero
Presentation for Urban Research Utrecht, a research school at Utrecht University, on Open Access to scholarly information in geography and planning, focussing of advantages, disadvantges, various forms, costs and actions of stakeholders
This document provides an overview of open access (OA) publishing and its benefits. It discusses how OA provides free access to scholarly works online, benefiting readers, authors, and fields of study. Both "gold" OA journals that are open from inception, and "green" OA that allows authors to self-archive in repositories, are covered. While traditional publishers claim most readers have access via libraries, the presentation argues that OA benefits many beyond academic institutions as well. Peer review and impact are independent of open access status.
Open access (OA) to scholarly literature recently hit a major milestone: Half of all research articles published become open access, either immediately or after an embargo period. Are the articles you read among them? What about the articles you write? Are the journals to which you submit open-access friendly? What about the journals for which you peer review? Are there any reasons why the public should not have access to the results of taxpayer-funded research?
In this slideshow, Jill Cirasella (Associate Librarian for Public Services and Scholarly Communication, Graduate Center, CUNY) explains the motivation for OA, describes the details of OA, and differentiates between publishing in open access journals (“gold” OA) and self-archiving works in OA repositories (“green” OA). She also dispels persistent myths about OA and examines some of the challenges to OA.
Institutional electronic repositories: a mandate for all researcherscalsi
The document discusses open access to scientific documentation through institutional electronic repositories. It argues that open access allows for greater visibility and impact of research, increased collaboration opportunities, and optimal use of web technologies. However, one challenge is disseminating research effectively. The document proposes several actions to advance open access, including developing institutional repositories with mandatory deposit policies, supporting existing and new open access journals, and communicating the benefits of open access to researchers.
Talking about Open Access: SMASH and Subtler TacticsJill Cirasella
This document discusses strategies for promoting open access, including forcefully advocating the benefits of open access ("SMASH") or using more subtle tactics. It notes common objections to open access and recommends tailoring the message based on the audience. Open access benefits readers, students, authors, libraries, institutions, and fields of study by increasing access and impact. The document also outlines the progression of open access initiatives at CUNY from 2005 to the present.
The Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) in 2001 coined the term "open access" and devised the two main strategies of open access - green OA (self-archiving) and gold OA (open access publishing). It aimed to make scholarly articles freely available online and accelerate progress in open access. The initiative explored how separate open access initiatives could work together more effectively to widen access to research. Academic libraries are key supporters of open access as it increases access to scholarly works without affecting library budgets and enhances the research output and reputation of their institutions. Open access initiatives in India include directories of open access journals and initiatives led by the country's major science academies.

Open Access Publishing: What you need to know
The document discusses open access publishing models where content creators pay for their work to be made freely available online rather than using traditional subscription models. It outlines that open access allows anyone worldwide to access, read, download and use digital scholarly articles. Funding can come from author fees, grants, foundations, institutional memberships or advertising. For libraries, open access means fewer subscriptions but more hybrid journals with both open access and subscribed content, as well as varying embargo periods for access to journal articles.
The document discusses the history and development of open access initiatives for scholarly publications. It notes several important declarations from 2002-2005 that supported open access, including making publications freely available online. It describes how open access initiatives aim to unite organizations in supporting free and unrestricted access to peer-reviewed research. The document also discusses definitions of open access, copyright considerations, launching open access journals, and the Budapest Open Access Initiative of 2002.
Open Access: Putting the Public Back in PublicationJill Cirasella
This document discusses open access (OA) scholarly publishing. It defines OA as works that are accessible online at no cost and available for all to read and use, with proper attribution. The traditional subscription-based scholarly publishing system is described as outdated, expensive, and suboptimal. OA benefits readers, authors, libraries, and society by making research more accessible and connecting the public to publications. While some criticize OA as being unreviewed or predatory, the document argues that OA journals can be high-quality and that both OA and traditional journals vary in quality. It encourages authors to consider OA options and understand their rights to self-archive their work.

Open Access Overview, Faculty Senate Library Committee, 10/21/08Elizabeth Brown
Open Access publishing refers to making scholarly journal articles freely available online for anyone to read and use. It emerged as the internet made sharing content cheaper and easier than print. Traditionally, subscriptions funded journals but prices rose sharply in the 1990s limiting access. Now, some journals charge authors fees to make articles open while others use a hybrid model combining open access and subscription content, sometimes with embargo periods for new articles. This shift affects libraries who may see fewer subscriptions and more journals combining models, though embargo lengths will vary between journals and author choice.
This document discusses open access resources and the open access movement. It begins by explaining that most research is publicly funded but published in expensive journals, making the results inaccessible to most. The open access movement aims to make all research findings available to society. It describes various definitions and initiatives to promote open access, such as allowing authors to self-archive works in institutional repositories and publish in open access journals. Examples are given of important open access resources and publishers like DOAJ, DOAB, PLOS, and BioMed Central. The conclusion states that open access maximizes the visibility and impact of research.
Undiscovered Publics: Open Access and the (Digital) HumanitiesSpencer Keralis
This presentation focuses on how digital media has the potential to revolutionize both scholarly communication and research methods in the humanities. I suggest that humanities scholars collaborate with librarians, technologists, and new media practitioners to overcome resistance to open access within their disciplines and open up wider audiences for humanistic scholarship.
The document summarizes key aspects of the open access movement including its history, principles, advocates, and current state. It discusses how open access aims to provide free online access to scholarly works through initiatives like Creative Commons licensing and institutional open access mandates. The summary also notes that tracking and advocacy organizations help raise awareness about open access issues and developments.
Academic libraries are increasingly investing in new efforts to support their research and teaching faculty in the activities they care about most. Learn why becoming a publisher can help meet the most fundamental needs of your research community and at the same time can help transform today’s inflationary cost model for serials. We will explore not only why to become a publisher but exactly how to achieve it, step by step, including careful selection of publishing partners, choosing the right platform for manuscript submission and editorial workflow management, one-time processes to launch a new journal, conducting peer reviews, maintaining academic quality, and measuring impact. We’ll also cover the broader range of publishing activities where libraries can have an impact, including open access monographs, general institutional repositories and subject-based author self-archiving repositories. We will close with a review of tools, services, and communities of support to nurture the new library publishing venture.

Open Access and New Forms of Publishing in Economics, Social Sciences and the...Barbara Hirschmann
The document summarizes key topics around open access publishing in economics, social sciences, and humanities. It discusses traditional publication models and rising journal costs, and outlines two main open access models - green open access using repositories and gold open access by publishing in open access journals. While open access increases visibility and reuse of research, questions remain around financial sustainability and transitioning fully from traditional subscription models.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
6. What is open access in the
domain of scholarly publishing?
7. Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge,
and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. What
makes it possible is the internet and the consent of the
author or copyright-holder.
In most fields, scholarly journals do not pay authors, who can therefore
consent to OA without losing revenue. In this respect scholars and scientists
are very differently situated from most musicians and movie-makers, and
controversies about OA to music and movies do not carry over to research
literature.
OA is entirely compatible with peer review, and all the major OA initiatives for
scientific and scholarly literature insist on its importance. Just as authors of
journal articles donate their labor, so do most journal editors and referees
participating in peer review.
OA literature is not free to produce, even if it is less expensive to produce
than conventionally published literature. The question is not whether scholarly
literature can be made costless, but whether there are better ways to pay the
bills than by charging readers and creating access barriers. Business models for
paying the bills depend on how OA is delivered.
