The presentation discusses open access (OA) policies and mandates in developing and transition countries, highlighting individual national policies and university mandates that promote access to publicly funded research. It emphasizes the key role of academic libraries in establishing OA repositories, aiding self-archiving, and influencing open access publishing. The document outlines the benefits of OA, such as increased visibility and impact of research, while arguing that academic participation in self-archiving is often low without mandatory policies.

10. National policies UA Since January 2007 Ukraine has a law: proposed mandate for open access to publicly funded research more than 150 Ukrainian University librarians endorsed OA to knowledge statement

12. National policies LT a new Lithuanian law on science requires online access for publicly-funded research Lithuanian Academic Libraries Network was recognised as one the most active players in the field of OA in Lithuania (by CREST members and observers )

13. University Associations EU & SA European University Association : “Universities should develop institutional policies and strategies that foster the availability of their quality-controlled research results for the broadest possible range of users, maximising their visibility, accessibility and scientific impact . The basic approach …should be the creation of an institutional repository or participation in a shared repository… http://www. eua .be/ fileadmin /user_upload/files/Policy_Positions/Recommendations_Open_Access_adopted_by_the_EUA_Council_on_26th_of_March_2008_final. pdf

14. Universities HK, BY, RU, UA Hong Kong Universities proposed OA policy for publicly-funded research all have OA repositories

15. University policies RU & UA

16. University mandates UA

17. University mandates UA 2 The open access policy adopted by Ternopil State Ivan Pul'uj Technical University (TSTU) mandates that all published journal articles and conference papers be deposited in Electronic Archive of TSTU (ELARTU) if there are no legal objections by publishers

18. University mandates UA 3 ELARTU also encourages and fully supports self-archiving of other research output produced by scientists and students of the university as well as other members of the scientific community

19. University mandates SA

20. University mandates SA 2 To assist the University of Pretoria in providing open access to scholarly articles resulting from research done at the University, supported by public funding , staff and students are required to: -- submit peer-reviewed postprints + the metadata of their articles to UPSpace , the University’s institutional repository, AND -- give the University permission to make the content freely available and to take necessary steps to preserve files in perpetuity .

21. University mandates SA 3 Postprints are to be submitted immediately upon acceptance for publication . Access to the full text of articles will be subject to publisher permissions . Access will not be provided if permission is in doubt or not available. In such cases, an abstract will be made available for external internet searches to achieve maximum research visibility. Access to the full text will be suppressed for a period if such an embargo is prescribed by the publisher/ funder.

22. University mandates SA 4 The University of Pretoria strongly recommends that transfer of copyright be avoided . Researchers are encouraged to negotiate copyright terms with publishers when the publisher does not allow archiving, reuse and sharing. This can be done by adding the official UP author addendum to a publishing contract .

23. University mandates SA 5 The University of Pretoria encourages its authors to publish their research articles in open access journals that are accredited.

24. Research organisations SA The Academy of Science of South Africa adopted an OA business model for the journals

25. Research organisations RU Central Economics and Mathematics Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences: All researchers are mandated to immediately deposit their papers/articles in the institutional Open Archive. http://www. cemi . rssi . ru / rus /news/ initiat -eng. htm http://www. cemi . rssi . ru / rus /news/ initiat - rus . htm

26. Why OA? Opening up the outputs of the institution to the world Maximizing the visibility and impact of these outputs Showcasing the quality of the research in the institution

27. Why OA? Collecting and curating the digital outputs of the institution Managing and measuring research and teaching activities Providing a workspace for work-in-progress and for collaborative and large-scale projects

28. Why OA? Enabling and encouraging interdisciplinary approaches to research Facilitating the development and sharing of digital teaching materials and aids Supporting student endeavours , providing access to theses and dissertations and a location for the development of e-portfolios

29. Why OA? Institutional and national level research assessment and research management , bringing together research expertise across the institution and country Information rich collaboration , effective decision-making and successful research activity Improved governmental policy and public health care outcomes

30. Why OA mandates? (thank you Arthur Sale!) Academics are busy and self-archiving (about 5 minutes on average) is a last on the “to-do” list. Long experience has shown that however strong the persuasion, voluntary deposits seldom exceed 20% of a university’s total publications. Mandates work! ( Sale, AHJ (2009) Academic Participation. In: Gaining the momentun: Open Access and advancement of science and research, 14 May 2009, CSIR, Pretoria, South Africa. (Unpublished) : http :// eprints . utas . edu . au /8693/ )

31. Where are the libraries? Academic and research libraries set up and maintain OA repositories and help researchers and students to self-archive , become partners in open access publishing , help to create open educational resources , promote open access and help to shape open access policies .

34. Key success factors Involve key stakeholders : provosts, faculty governance and the general counsel’s office, a cademic staff ( supporters and champions!), library staff, technical and other support staff

35. Key success factors 2 Communicate and show your support to the faculty : build awareness (seminars, discussions, presentations) and obtain the feedback to determine the faculty support Be ready to assist the faculty in complying with the policy and to work with the publishers

36. Key success factors 3 Fit the repository to the institution wide intellectual property rights policy and scholarly communications policy, departmental digital stores of publications and an information management strategy

37. Key success factors 4 Generate statistics and management reports from your institutional repository, collect usage and item download statistics
