This document provides an overview of open access, including its history, definitions, models (toll, green, gold), policies like those of Research Councils UK, and issues around licensing and publishing. It defines open access as digital, online research that is free of charge and most copyright/licensing restrictions. Green open access involves self-archiving works, while gold involves publishing in open access journals where authors pay article processing fees. A case study demonstrates navigating funder policies and open access options. Support resources at Cambridge are highlighted.

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

It will discuss current levels of compliance, and key issues which need to be addressed if full OA is going to be realised. The Webinar will also discuss the recent study, led by the Wellcome Trust, which looked at what levers funders could pull to help encourage the development of an effective OA market for article processing charges.
Open access for the inaugural @OpenResLDN meeting 2015 01 19Chris Banks
Slides that I will speak to at the inaugural meeting of OpenResLDN on 19th January 2015. January 2015 sees the 350th anniversary of the first ever journal publication - the Journal des Savants. We are now in the 21st year of the Open Access movement and the UK and European policies are really beginning to drive change and innovation. That change is not fast enough for some, and for others - particularly those covered by the policies, or seeking to implement policy - just a little too fast sometimes.
As part of Open Access Week 2016 John Murtagh, Research Publications Manager at LSHTM gives a briefing on OA and how researchers can make their work Open Access without having to pay for it via the Gold Open Access route.
Over 90% of journals allow a final draft version of the paper to be self-archived in a research repository - making that research OA. John outlines what OA is, the different types and methods currently available in publishing and how researchers can achieve. Also covered is how to keep your self-archiving author rights using an author addendum and how to use Research Online effectively for wider dissemination. Also covered is making book chapters OA, the REF OA requirements and using the SHERPA RoMEO/FACT service to searching journal self-archiving policies.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. What is Open Access?
‘Open access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most
copyright and licensing restrictions’
- Peter Suber (Director of the Harvard ‘Open Access’ Project)
‘Open access to research publications involves making them freely available online
rather than charging readers to read and use them. Open Access to research data
makes data more widely available for re-use by others to support
research, innovation and wider public use.’
‘The University of Cambridge encourages open access whilst asserting that you
should continue to choose where to publish.’
- UoC Open Access website: https://www.openaccess.cam.ac.uk/about
3. History of Open Access
1990s
The open access movement begins as access to the World Wide Web becomes widely
available and online publishing becomes the norm. Forerunners of open access include
‘open source’ and ‘open courseware’.
1993
The first open access journals become available.
2001
The Creative Commons licensing initiative is founded.
2002
The Open Access movement is defined in key statements at Budapest, Bethesda, and Berlin.
2003
Directory of Open Access Journals is founded and Open Access policies start to be adopted.
2013
From 01 April 2013, Research Councils UK open access policy comes into force (of which
more later).
5. Toll, Green, Gold
Toll Access – The author submits their publication and the
publisher makes it available for a fee through a database
or website.
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).
But... this is the meeting of two incredibly complex worlds – academia and
publishing – so, inevitably, there are variants, exceptions, and sub-categories.

7. Research Councils UK ‘OA policy’ (from 01/04/13)
This policy was a response to the Finch Report published in 2012.
•Applies to publication of peer-reviewed research articles and conference proceedings that
acknowledge funding from the UK’s Research Councils.
• Supports both Gold and Green OA, with a preference for the former as that means
immediate open access with the maximum opportunity for re-use.
• Funding for Open Access is made available through a block grant awarded to Universities
(to pay article processing charges).
•With Gold OA where the block grant is used to pay APCs, papers must be made
immediately available using a Creative Commons ‘CC BY’ ‘re-use’ licence (more on that
shortly).
• ‘The journey to full Open Access is a process and not a single event’ – realistic
expectation that compliance will grow over a 5-year transition period.
• Recognition that impact of the policy on different disciplines is going to be varied e.g.
different embargo periods (e.g. 1 – 2 years in social sciences)
8. The Publishers’ Association ‘decision tree’
Is your research publicly funded?
Yes
No
Is a Gold Open Access option
available from your publisher?
Yes
Are article processing
funds available?
Yes
Immediate Gold
Open Access
No
Green Open Access, usually after
6-12 months embargo period
No
Green Open Access after 12-24
months embargo period
N.B. As with everything to do with Open Access ‘the devil is in the
detail’ and embargoes are more complex than this ‘tree’ suggests.
9. Creative Commons – licenses for ‘re-use’
‘Creative Commons develops, supports, and stewards legal and technical
infrastructure that maximises digital creativity, sharing, and innovation.’
CC is all about licensing re-use of your work – allowing subsequent modification
of work you have created, with credit.
RCUK specify that Gold Open Access papers must be made available immediately
using a CC BY licence - which allows re-use, text-mining, re-mixing and republication. This has been criticised in some quarters.
10. DSpace@Cambridge is the University of Cambridge’s institutional
repository, preserving and providing access to content created by
members of the University. It is delivered and managed by the
University Library: https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/
Open access research publications by University members are
added to DSpace@Cambridge in line with research funder
requirements.
12. CJBS Case Study: Green Open Access
Paul Tracey wanted to submit to the Academy of
Management Review a piece of work funded by his ESRC
Fellowship.
1. AMR required all versions of the work to be removed
from public access web sites during the review process.
2. All outputs from the grant had to be submitted to the
ESRC’s Research Outputs System (ROS), a public-access
repository.
N.B. At this stage his paper has not yet been
accepted by AMR.
13. CJBS Case Study: Green Open Access
3. Paul checked www.openaccess.cam.ac.uk by entering
Academy of Management Review in the search box and
selected ESRC as the funder.
14. CJBS Case Study: Green Open Access
…and received advice as follows:
15. CJBS Case Study: Green Open Access
4. Katie Jones emailed info@openaccess.cam.ac.uk, who
advised Paul to submit to ROS a summary only of the work
at this stage, and to submit the article itself once it was
published online by the journal.
5. Katie emailed the journal to ask permission for all
Research Council-funded articles to be available in final
publisher pdf format on the ROS.
16. CJBS Case Study: Gold Open Access
Andrea Mina had an article accepted by Research Policy.
He checked www.openaccess.cam.ac.uk, selected the
journal title, and the funder (also ESRC), and received the
information below. He subsequently applied for funds
via the OA website to cover article processing charges.

18. Issues, Criticisms and Questions
Publishers continued embargoing of Green Open Access sustains their
revenue (a bad thing).
Conversely the belief that Gold Open Access which involves article processing charges is just another
way for publishers to source revenue (another bad thing).
There was no Open Access component in the 2014 REF, but the subsequent REF will undoubtedly have
OA requirements (potentially a bad thing, or at least more work).
Predatory Open Access publishers seeking faculty from Cambridge to be on the board of their Gold
Open Access journals – seeking article processing charges, while providing very little peer review or
editorial support. See http://scholarlyoa.com/ (definitely a bad thing!)
Embargo policies are confusing and need to be reviewed and decisions taken in consultation.
Current licence requirements could limit choice of where to publish and more restrictive licences such
as CC BY NC (not for commercial purposes) and CC BY ND (no alteration or building upon work) should
be deemed acceptable. Also unrealistic to expect authors to debate licensing with publishers.
Complications arising from publication in overseas journals with different requirements to the UK.
How restrictive an realistic are percentage targets for OA compliance across disciplines?

Unlike the traditional/ or Toll Access model in which readers have to pay to read the articles in AMJ, AMR, there are two options available for making the articles free for the readers. ((CLICK))) First, Green OA or self-archiving. The author publishes in theToll Access process. BUT When the paper got accepted, the author then deposits an accepted version (e.g. in Word; not the AMJ/publishers’ version of record) in a repository at a university or at the disciplinary repository. ((CLICK))The second option is called Gold OA because the authors can publish in OA journals where they have to pay an article processing charge (around US$100-3000) after which the article will be freely available to the public.
