What is Open Access?
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…
… 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.
(Budapest Open Access Initiative, 2002)

Green – Unformatted, final version of article (AAM) deposited
on institutional or subject repository
Gold/Hybrid – articles published in journal and made freely
available (subject to APC)
APC – Article processing charge, fee paid to publishers for Gold
OA
AAM (Post-print) – Author accepted manuscript, final peer-
reviewed, accepted version without publisher formatting

Major research funders in the UK like RCUK, Wellcome Trust, and NIHR are increasingly requiring grantees to make their work openly accessible, either through open access journals or by depositing publications in institutional repositories. King's library services provide guidance on complying with funder policies and obtaining funds to support open access publishing charges.

Open Access Funding Model for Article Processing charges (APCs) - Leti Kleyn

Academy of Science of South Africa

This document discusses open access publishing and article processing charges (APCs) at the University of Pretoria. It provides background on UP's open access policies and institutional repository containing theses, dissertations and research articles. It analyzes APC spending across UP faculties from 2012-2013, benchmarks other South African university open access funds, and proposes a new UP open access publication fund of R2.9 million for 2014 to cover APCs through their library budget. It acknowledges rising APC costs are unsustainable and discusses alternative approaches to support open access.

The document provides instructions for using open access data repositories. It defines open data as data that can be freely used, reused and redistributed with only the requirement to attribute and share-alike. It lists three key principles for open data: availability and access, reuse and redistribution, and universal participation. The document also provides links to several open data repositories including Dryad, Figshare, data.gov, and Re3data.org. It concludes by providing contact information for questions.

Researcher KnowHow: Liverpool Elements, publications and Open Access

LivUniLibrary

Liverpool Elements is the University's current research information system that records all research outputs and populates profiles. It allows researchers to add publications automatically as Elements searches for matches, or manually. Open Access means peer-reviewed research that is free to read online and can be redistributed with some restrictions. There are two main routes to Open Access - gold, where articles are published in fully open access journals potentially with article processing charges, and green, where authors deposit their accepted manuscript in an institutional repository after an embargo period. Funder policies require depositing works in repositories within set times and often prefer gold Open Access, with some providing funding to support publication this way.

After the paper is accepted

MKH-QMUL

The document discusses the steps researchers must take after a paper is accepted for either gold or green open access. For gold open access, researchers must inform their faculty and library immediately so funds can be released to pay article processing charges, which the library then pays to the publisher. For green open access, researchers should check if their funder has an agreement with the publisher for deposit or self-archive in the institutional repository with correct permissions and embargoes. In both cases, the accepted paper is then published online with open access.

Intended Learning Outcomes: - Learn more about the developing institutional and national OER infrastructures supported by JISC - Discuss how these can be streamlined across the sector and improved/adapted to more fully support subject specific requirements (e.g. health) Abstract: The ALPS CETL repository project (ACErep) is examining the requirements of a repository infrastructure in local, regional and national contexts to more effectively facilitate sharing and reuse of appropriately licensed medical teaching, learning and assessment material. Three institutions in the ALPS consortium - the University of Leeds, Leeds Metropolitan University and York St John University - all use different commercial platforms for their teaching and learning repositories. In addition there is the national HE/FE repository Jorum, and the NHS National eLearning Repository (NeLR), Informed by a user-group of institutional stakeholders, the goal of ACErep is to develop a clearly branded web-site from where staff at the respective institutions can: deposit resources into their own institutional repository cross-search the repositories from a single interface In addition, we have developed ties with the JISC funded PORSCHE project at Newcastle University which aims to provide seamless access to academic and clinical learning resources for healthcare students primarily from the respective collections in Jorum and the NeLR. The project utilises well-established repository technologies and has adapted an Open Source client to differentially deposit into a user’s institutional repository and liaised with Jorum to harvest metadata from multiple repositories. ACErep and PORSCHE are also working with Jorum on their development of an Open API (Application Programming Interface) upon which we can build a bespoke search portal. This work, in turn, builds on a prototype developed in collaboration with the Xpert repository at Nottingham University. This approach will have the benefit of digital assets being preserved in one location (an institutional repository) while providing multiple points of access as well as allowing the ALPS branded web-site and the institutional repositories to “piggyback” on Jorum’s Google pagerank thereby improving discoverability. The presentation will comprise a summary of the ACErep project to date; the emphasis will not be technical though technical implications and requirements will be discussed.

Playing is for grown ups - Walsh

IL Group (CILIP Information Literacy Group)

This document discusses how playing and gamification can be incorporated into library spaces and information literacy instruction for adults. It suggests that playful library spaces could include areas for feedback, technology exploration, collaboration, and games. Playful information literacy involves exploring information creatively, developing research skills flexibly, and feeling comfortable taking intellectual risks. The document argues that libraries should provide "permission to play" through playful spaces, gamified teaching methods, and establishing a supportive environment where learning through play is accepted. It provides some examples of information literacy games that could be used.

Researcher KnowHow: Introduction to Open Access

LivUniLibrary

This document provides an introduction to open access publishing. It describes the traditional subscription model where authors sign over copyright and readers must pay to access articles. Open access aims to make research freely available online for anyone to read and reuse. There are two main routes: gold open access where authors pay article processing charges to publish in fully open access journals, and green open access where authors self-archive in repositories after an embargo period. Funders now require open access for funded research, and the REF also requires depositing publications in repositories.

Scholarly Publishing and Open Access

Julia Gross

The document discusses open access (OA) in scholarly publishing. It notes the current publishing crisis where publishers get free content from publicly funded research while restricting access. OA aims to make research freely and permanently available online. There are two main routes to OA - green OA using institutional repositories, and gold OA through OA journals. ECU supports green OA through its Research Online repository. New requirements from the NHMRC will mandate depositing publications in OA repositories within 12 months. The document provides an overview of key issues around OA including copyright and benefits for authors, libraries and scholars.

Rachel Henderson

The document discusses open access publishing. It defines open access as digital content that is free of charge and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. The benefits of open access include increased readership and citations as it removes cost barriers. However, open access also faces disadvantages like article processing charges deterring early career researchers. The document outlines ways to make work open access through self-archiving in repositories (green open access) or publishing in open access journals (gold open access). It also provides tips on finding and promoting open access materials and issues around open data.

DiFiore: JSTOR & Portico: Committed to preserving the scholarly record , Bing...

Elizabeth Brown

This document discusses JSTOR and Portico's efforts to preserve the scholarly record in digital format. It notes that scholarly communication is shifting from paper to digital, and libraries are moving to electronic-only collections. JSTOR digitizes journal backfiles to improve access and reduce storage costs. Portico serves as a "dark archive" to ensure permanent access to born-digital scholarly content. Both work to ensure the long-term preservation of and access to scholarly works in service of the academic community.

Issues and Challenges of Open Access

FCChoy

Open Access Overview, Faculty Senate Library Committee, 10/21/08

Elizabeth 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.

open access, p-hacking, registered reports, registered replication reports

Alex Holcombe

This document discusses a presentation given at Macquarie University on December 4th, 2015 about open access, p-hacking, preregistration, and replication in scientific research. The presentation addresses issues like open access mandates by funders, incentives around publishing, preregistration of studies to prevent p-hacking, registered replication reports, and the potential for a new era of large-scale collaboration and replication through open data and protocols.

Scholarly Communication 101

Claire Sewell

The document provides an overview of scholarly communication and the role of libraries in supporting researchers from the Office of Scholarly Communication at the University of Cambridge. It defines scholarly communication, outlines the changing nature of research in the 21st century, and describes the typical stages of a research career and lifecycle. The document also discusses pressures on academic publishing like the serials crisis and the development of open access. Finally, it introduces the Research Support Ambassador Programme which aims to increase knowledge of scholarly communication topics and build a community of research support librarians.

Open Access: Learn. Share. Advance

zswanie

Scholarly communication includes how academics share information and knowledge through activities like peer-reviewed publishing. Open Access (OA) is an important recent development, making scholarly works freely available online without subscriptions or fees. The reasons for OA include increasing impact of research, author control, and public access to taxpayer-funded research. There are two main routes to OA - self-archiving works in repositories ("Green OA") and publishing in fully OA journals ("Gold OA"). In 2015, major Canadian research funders implemented a policy requiring grant-funded research to be openly accessible within 12 months of publication through repositories or OA journals.

Fulbright Open Access Policy - OpenCon 2015

Right to Research

This document discusses the development of an open access policy for the Fulbright program. It describes: 1) The Fulbright program which provides grants for educational exchanges around the world, awarding over 8,000 grants annually. 2) A two-phase process for developing an open access policy, beginning with a paper submitted to the Fulbright Board and their approval of open access, followed by writing the actual policy and endorsing a pilot program. 3) The current status which is a pilot open access policy and repository for the 2016/17 US-UK Fulbright cohort, with the aim of eventually rolling out the policy across the entire Fulbright network.

Introduction to Open Access

AIMS (Agricultural Information Management Standards)

The document discusses open access to scientific literature. It defines open access as digital content that is free of charge and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. It describes the benefits of open access as maximizing research visibility, usage, and impact. There are two main ways to achieve open access: self-archiving research articles in open repositories (the "green" route) or publishing in open access journals that do not charge subscription fees (the "gold" route). The document provides an overview of tools and standards that help implement open access institutional repositories, including the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH).

Open access publishing overview

Martin Weller

Open access publishing is becoming more prevalent as an alternative to traditional subscription-based publishing models. It allows research to be freely available online to anyone. There are two main models of open access - gold, where authors pay publication fees to open access journals, and green, where authors self-archive their work in open repositories. Proponents argue that open access increases visibility and impact of research, while critics argue it is too costly. Many funders and institutions now mandate or encourage open access publishing.
