This document discusses open access (OA) in the humanities and social sciences (HSS) as compared to science, technology, and medicine (STM). It notes that while the Directory of Open Access Journals includes more STM journals than HSS, HSS publishing often works without article processing charges. It also explains that research output in HSS usually takes the form of books rather than articles, which have longer publication timelines. The document discusses anxieties researchers have about OA and different business models being explored for OA books in HSS, like Knowledge Unlatched and OpenEdition, which involve library consortia purchasing or licensing OA content. It argues that libraries can play an important role in the transition
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.

Collection development is big business and how academic libraries decide to invest in content is radically changing. This is being driven as much by new approaches to organisational design, relationship management, and data insight in universities as by changes to business models and technology in scholarly publishing and the supply chain. Based on recent experience at Edinburgh, Manchester and Northumbria, this participatory session will explore new strategies for collection development, and specifically address challenges and opportunities faced by libraries that have moved or are transitioning from traditional subject librarian roles.
Catching the Wave: Academic Library as Scholarly Publisher by Tim Tamminga, B...Charleston Conference
Charleston Conference
Friday, November 5, 2010
2:00 - 2:50 PM
Academic libraries can become the center of on-campus scholarly publishing initiatives by offering and supporting scholarly publishing services.
This presentation explores the library as publisher from two perspectives:
Developing a library publishing strategy: What kind of publication support do our faculty need and expect? What types of services should libraries consider offering? How can we create a sustainable funding model for library publishing?
What are some of the issues that academic libraries encounter as they move into the field of publishing.
Showing real examples of how academic libraries are successfully providing publishing services, including:
• Peer-reviewed scholarly journals
• Student journals
• Monographs: the library Imprint or partnerships with the University Press
• Events publishing: Conferences and workshops
The discussion will show that academic libraries can provide publishing services that expand and enhance the range of library services to faculty, students, administration and their greater communities.
What is meant by ‘predatory publisher’? Who is preyed on and by whom? What are the consequences of this publishing phenomenon? The Director of the US ISSN Center will draw on the experience of the ISSN Network and National Library of Medicine (NLM) to explore these issues. Criteria for inclusion in NLM’s indexes and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), as well as criteria for denying or revoking an ISSN, will be outlined. Statistics on the ubiquity and longevity of these publications, their impact on ISSN and NLM, and the role of librarians will be discussed.
Predatory publishing: what it is and how to avoid itUQSCADS
There are currently approximately 28,000 journals publishing 1.5 million papers annually. Although the majority of new journals are legitimate, the credentials of some are questionable. Such journals and publishers are referred to as 'predatory'. They commonly send spam emails to potential authors, solicit submissions and request payment of article processing charges, but lack academic rigor or credibility.
This presentation provides researchers with
an insight into predatory behaviors and and how they can avoid them.

The Responsibility Process - How do you "push responsibility down"Ian Brockbank
Mary and Tom Poppendieck tell us we should “push responsibility down” to empower the team. How do we do this? What does it look like as a team member when you’re accepting responsibility? How can a team leader recognise and foster team responsibility?
Drawing on over twenty years of research by Christopher Avery and Bill McCarley, this presentation provides insights into how people naturally think and react and how this affects taking responsibility. This leads to models which can help to break the cycle and get to productive responsible thinking sooner. On the way, I show agile practices which naturally encourage and support these processes.
This is a slight update to the previous slides with more information on how to find more.

Alex and Conor introduce SAH Journal (sahjournal.com) as an open access academic journal project involving the collaborative efforts of emerging and established scholars as well as academic librarians. Conor explains the benefits of collaborating with research librarians through publishing. Alex asserts that librarians (libraries) are perfectly positioned to enter into direct competition with established commercial journal publishers. He explains the mechanics of electronic publishing from conceptional planning to implementation via, in this instance, Open Journal Systems (OJS).

Presentation: Making Open the Default in Scholarly Communication, and the Implications for the Future of Libraries
for QQML 2016
in London, UK
24-27 May 2016
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.

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.

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.

5. OA benefits all research
‘Whether a given line of research serves
wellness or wisdom, energy or
enlightenment, protein synthesis or public
safety, OA helps it serve those purposes
faster, better, and more universally.’
Peter Suber, ‘Open Access’ (MIT Press, 2012)
7. Research output in HSS
• AHRC estimates just a third of research
output is in the form of articles, two-thirds
is books (Humanities)
• Monographs are the preferred genre
• Print is the preferred format
• E is growing for discovery and reading
• Print remains the primary edition
10. Expanded timescales
• Our workshops with authors and publishers
confirmed that a book takes on average 3
years to create
• Peer reviewing a book is a bigger commitment
than an article
• The editors in the interviews spoke of the
‘lifetimes’ authors spend on research
• This is an output that reflects years of work
http://oapen-uk.jiscebooks.org/
11. Business Models
• Publishers often have to cost recover on
the single entity of the book
• Some titles are a gamble – bigger risk
than an article
• HSS researchers need that first book for
their first job or for promotion – asking
the publisher to take a risk, not as
predominant in STEM
12. Anxiety
Our institutional case studies, workshops and
focus groups show that there is an anxiety in HSS
- worried about getting published
- worried about access to funding if goes gold
- worried about new licensing models (even
though they now retain copyright – makes them
nervous)
13. • understand
anxieties
• address /
explore them
• make authors
feel more
confident
• explain why
RCUK prefers
CC BY
• help authors feel
equipped to
negotiate
15. OA business models in HSS
• HSS has less access to funding,
particularly central funding for ‘Gold OA’,
based on OA publication funds
• HSS needs other models to achieve OA:
• Emergence of ‘Library side’ models
– Based on libraries’ existing acquisitions budget
– Three examples:
16.
17. Knowledge Unlatched
Libraries purchase OA books:
• Libraries form a global consortium
• Use their existing acquisitions budget
• Select individually, purchase collectively
• Price based on fixed or ‘first digital copy’ costs
• Libraries receive value-added edition
• Monographs are then published Open Access
– First pilot underway
– Approx. 20 publishers, 30 libraries
http://www.knowledgeunlatched.org/
18.
19. OpenEdition
Libraries license OA content:
– OpenEdition Freemium
– Free content online (HTML)
– Premium content (PDF, e-reader formats) and
services for libraries
– Revenues split 1/3-2/3 between OpenEdition and
publishers
• Intended to:
– make OA content discoverable
– provide a business model for OA content
– help sustain platform
http://www.openedition.org
20.
21. Open Library of Humanities
Libraries ‘subscribe’ to OA journal:
• OLH: megajournal for HSS
– Inspired by PLOS ONE
– Initiative of Martin Eve & Caroline Edwards
– different business model:
Library Partnership Subsidy
– subscription model:
• Many libraries > low subsidies!
https://www.openlibhums.org/
22. Opportunity for Libraries
Libraries can make a difference for OA,
especially in HSS, but:
– We can’t sell library side models door-to-door
– Libraries have been the driving force of the
OA movement
– They need to take another step, by organizing
themselves
– Getting involved in the transition to OA
23. Opportunity for Libraries
• What if research libraries supporting OA:
– Reserved a small, fixed percentage of their acquisitions budget
for OA initiatives
– Established a Strategic Library Alliance for the transition to OA
– Use this budget to help develop the road to OA
• (The percentage could become a moving target, a moving wall
between OA and TA)
Disclaimers:
– We don’t expect Libraries to solve the transition by themselves
– Libraries are not cash machines that will make OA work
– Libraries should help determine how OA will work
HSS, although they do use the library – still like to purchase their own books – there is still that link to the print….
Even if using the library, the predominant format is print….which is quite different from the journals area where most access and use of content is in electronic format.
Last 3 are drawn from free-text comments: is there a real difference between self- and no-funding? Hard to say. Respondents could choose multiple options. Core university funds are most important, although if you aggregate RC and other funders they are nearly as big. -- In HSS in the UK – the majority of researchers use core university funds – ie. their salary to undertake the research which supports their research output which is the monograph. There is less funding coming from research councils or other funders compared to STM areas. Of the 4 universities interviewed in our case studies, all of them were acutely aware of the lower amount of funding that HSS receive in comparison to STEM areas and the impact that this will have on a gold type model. The two learned societies we spoke with expressed how the curtailment of RCUK funds for travel for example, have impacted HSS researchers and they look to learned societies more to support early career research in particular. In HSS which has less riches and less of the funding pot, a lot of the work undertaken by academics in terms of editorial boards, series editors, learned societies is based on good will. The likelihood of being paid is much lower. “ Most of the Society’s activities – managing its publications, advocacy, researcher support, membership, finances, administration, events and so on – are done for free by academic officers and councillors. The editorial boards for the various publications, and the academic editors for the Studies in History series, also contribute their time for free. Some are able, in theory, to negotiate with their institutions to reclaim the time spent on these activities, but in practice this rarely works. For others, there is no possibility even of a negotiation. Certainly, most of our interviewees felt that they were doing most of the work for the Society in their own time – which, as one interviewee stressed, is a common feature of life for academics, even those who are not involved with a learned society.”
