This document provides information about open access, copyright, and publishing. It defines open access as making research freely available online for anyone to read and reuse. There are two main routes to open access - gold open access through open access journals which may charge article processing fees, and green open access by self-archiving in an institutional repository after publication in a subscription journal. The document discusses choosing appropriate journals, retaining intellectual property rights, and depositing work in the institutional repository OARS to increase visibility and meet funder and REF requirements.

Open access presentation at Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscienceopenaccesskcl
Open Access presentation delivered on the 8th October 2014 at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience.
Presenters are Lynne Meehan (Research Support Manager) and Helen Cargill (Digital Assets Manager)
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.

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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.

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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2. What is open access (OA)?
• Open Access (OA) means making research publications freely available to
anyone with internet access so anyone can benefit from reading and using them.
• OA is not just making research available to read, but also allowing others to re-
use that research e.g. allowing the content to be analysed or reused for
commercial or non-commercial use.
• OA materials generally include peer reviewed journal articles, conference papers,
scholarly monographs and research data.
3. Benefits of open access
The sharing of information is fundamental to research
• Your work will be visible to researchers anywhere.
• Practitioners will be able to apply your findings and develop your research further.
• Your work will have greater impact, and more citations.
OA explained (Wiley) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2HMouOV-Lg&t=15s
4. Types of OA journals
Gold OA Green OA
On choosing your route you will need to consider:
• Any fees or Article Processing Charges (APCs)
• Any limits on embargo periods set by funding bodies
UoS encourages all staff to publish their work as OA through either the Gold or the
Green route. Any funding required to support Gold publishing and APCs will need to
be secured through initial funding bids, where permitted, or from School budgets.
5. Gold OA
• The published article is immediately available as full text from the publisher
website.
• The article is published in either an OA journal, or a hybrid OA journal. Hybrid
journals are those where the business model is at least partially based on
subscriptions. Pure OA journals do not charge subscription fees but do require
authors (or their author's institution or funder) pay an APC.
• APCs can range from £400 to £3500 per article. Funding needs to be secured
from Uos (via School funds) or external funding secured to undertake the
research.
6. Green OA
• Green OA means that the research is published in a subscription journal.
• The author of the work then self-deposits into an open access repository such as
Open Access Repository Suffolk (OARS).
• There are no charges made for publishing via the Green Route.
• Some publishers require delays, or an embargo, on when a research output in a
repository may be made open access, typically 6 - 24 months.
7. Gold Open Access Green Open Access
Articles are immediately available in
OA journals (pure or hybrid) on
publication
Articles are available to subscribers of
the subscription journal
The final version can be posted
immediately in an institutional
repository or in the author’s own web
site
A draft version of the article may be
posted in an institutional repository
(there may be embargos)
Publishing costs are payable by

9. • OA criteria presently only relate to journal articles and conference papers published with an
ISSN.
• This does not mean that other research outputs are not eligible for REF submission but that
they do not have to be made available through OA publishing.
• From 1st April 2018 the REF2021 OA policy will require deposits to be made within 3 months
of acceptance.
REF 2021- Eligibility criteria
10. HEFCE has produced requirements for REF 2021. These requirements include information on what can be
submitted and the criteria it must meet to be eligible. The timeline for REF submission is:

14. When choosing where to publish OA journal articles it is important to
• Consider the impact and reputation of the journal.
• Verify the OA options and approach to intellectual property of the journal.
Impact and reputation
15. • Impact factors measure how often, on average, articles published in a particular title
are cited. They can be used as one metric to understand a journal's reputation.
• Useful information when applying for promotion or grants and on your CV as it allows
you to demonstrate the value of your research to your institution by showing return on
investment to funding bodies, industry and the general public.
• Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Reports provides you with impact factors for journals, giving
you options to search by subject category or for specific titles. Available via the A-Z of e-
Resources
• The Scopus Journal Metrics website also provide access to citation metrics and data for over
20,000 journal titles. https://journalmetrics.scopus.com/
Impact and reputation
16. • Predatory journals are OA journals which have questionable practices e.g.
charging publication fees to authors without providing the editorial and
publishing services associated with legitimate journals.
• Beall's list provides a directory of some publishers and associated journals
which may be considered as predatory journals.
https://beallslist.weebly.com/
• Check any journals you are considering publishing in against this list, but also
take care to visit the journal and publishers website themselves.
Predatory journals
17. • UoS strongly encourages staff to retain the intellectual property for their work when
publishing, and OA publishing is also supportive of this.
• Protect your IP, don’t just sign it away. It is important to make sure that you use
the right licence for your work, to both protect your rights as the copyright owner, but
to also to ensure your work is fully in line with the principles of OA.
Copyright and intellectual property
18. • When submitting an article you will be asked to choose a CC licence of your choice.
Check the journal’s guide for author’s for the selection available.
• CC BY-NC-ND would meet this expectation as a minimum (no permission to adapt
content) as would other outputs published under CC BY which "lets others
distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long
as they credit you for the original creation".
• As you retain the copyright you are able to reuse the final published version in any
way you wish, including making the full text available in OARS.
• Creative Commons FAQS https://creativecommons.org/faq/
Creative Commons (CC)
19. • You may be asked to sign some sort of copyright form (Copyright Transfer
Agreement) regardless of whether the journal is OA or not. Although this may just
cover the publisher formatting, it needs careful scrutiny.
• While many publishers have a default policy, titles within their portfolio may have
special permissions.
• Before signing any agreements with a publisher, read the terms and conditions
associated with the transference of copyright.
Copyright Transfer Agreements (CTAs)
20. • If you sign a CTA the copyright in the work, and all previous editions, belongs to the
publishers and you will be restricted as to what you can do with your work, including
how you can make the final full text manuscript available through OARS.
• An alternative solution is to offer the publisher a publication agreement, which
modifies the terms of the publisher's agreement and enables you to retain the rights
to your work. Possible addendum include SPARC Author Addendum

Queries to Ellen Buck (UoS copyright and IP guidance officer) who can
negotiate and liaise with publishers and check licensing.
21. When deciding on where to publish and whether your work will be made available using OA,
check the requirements publishers /funders have put in place.
Check the OA policy for specific titles before submission for publication using one of these tools:
• SHERPA/RoMEO Publisher copyright policies and self-archiving
• SHERPA/Juliet Research funders OA policies
• SHERPA/FACT The Funders and Authors Compliance Tool

22. • OARS (Open Access Repository Suffolk) is the institutional repository for all scholarly
and research activity produced by students and staff during their employment with
UoS.
• It enables UoS to monitor and report on research outputs, and promote and share the
research being undertaken within the institution.
• All published content should be deposited even if it is not REF-able. OARS still acts
as a promoter of your work and institution and can attract collaboration. Full text
materials should be deposited where available.
• Full text materials should be deposited where available.
What is OARS? http://oars.uos.ac.uk
23. What material is included in OARS?
OARS is a collection of anything and everything, not just REF material.
• Journal articles
• Books or book chapters
• Conference papers or posters
• Commissioned reports
• Digital representations of images, artefacts, compositions, performances or recordings
• Intellectual property, granted patents, published patents, or any other form
• Trade / professional publications
• Teaching materials
• Newspaper / magazine articles
• Doctoral theses (University of Suffolk students)
• Creative writing
24. • An increased institutional profile will help to attract research partners and
funding and improve the research profile of staff.
• The OARS site will be the primary source for anything submitted for REF. It’s a
one stop shop to enable us to gather, measure and test against the REF
criteria.
• To ensure UoS work is visible to anyone searching the repository, or using
Summon, Google and specialist services such as OpenDOAR (once UoS is
registered).
Why include material in OARS?
