Open access publication (RET workshop)
This document provides an overview of open access publication. It defines open access as research literature that is freely available online without financial, legal or technical barriers. It discusses the two main routes to open access - open access publishing ("gold" route) where articles are published in fully open access journals, and author self-archiving ("green" route) where authors archive their work in open repositories. It covers topics like open access models, article processing charges, copyright and licensing, and publisher policies regarding self-archiving. The presentation aims to help researchers understand open access and consider their options for making their work openly available.

Under the ‘Springer Compact’ researchers affiliated to The University of York – and other members – can publish open access in any Springer journal ‘free of charge’. The costs is covered by a pre-agreed supplement added the subscription fee that the Library pays.
- 50. SciELO SciELO is adatabase and open access publishing platform for journals in the Spanish and Portuguese language. The selected journals are open access and free to publish for all. This is funded by national governmental organisations in Spanish or Portuguese speaking countries. Contributing countries ‘curate’ a group of journals, and can decide which journal are included in the scheme.
- 51. Royal Historical SocietyNew Historical Perspectives New Historical Perspectives is a book series open to early career researchers. Books are fully open access and free to publish. The cost is subsidised by income streams including sales of non-open- access books and journal subscriptions.
- 52. SCOAP3 SCOAP3 is managedby CERN in Switzerland and provides free to publish open access to high end journals and articles in the area of high energy physics. CERN pay publishers an agreed processing charge for each article. The total cost is then split between over 3,000 libraries, funding agencies and research institutions who have joined the consortium.
- 53. Open Library ofHumanities Open Library of Humanities publishes journals in subjects across arts and humanities. All journals are fully open access and free to publish. Libraries are invited to become ‘partners’ and each contribute an annual amount to fund journal operations. Libraries can choose how much they want to contribute.

- #33 First, how can we communicate what reuse rights other people have to your work. Creative Commons are the most commonly used. There are others, such as Open Government Licence or similar in other countries. By adding a Creative Commons licence to something the copyright holder – which might be you – is giving a straightforward way for anyone accessing your content to understand what they can and can’t do with it. Creative Commons licences are not an alternative to copyright A lot of publishers will give you CC licences as an option but charge you for the privilage.

- #44 Run through the different licences
- #46 There are a few factors to consider in choosing a licence. First in author’s choice. In reality, for journal articles, you probably won’t get much choice most of the time. Most journals will only offer a limited choice of licence, and many will only give one option. The people paying the APC (in this case the UK Research Councils) might have a requirement.

- #63 Whether or not we can deposit a copy to the repository will usually be determined by the terms and conditions in the publishing agreement. You will usually either transfer copyright to the publisher or agree an exclusive licence to publish.

- #66 Here’s a copy of the publication diagram borrowed from HEFCE, showing the different versions produced at each stage.
- #67 The submitted/preprint version can usually be made available through a repository, but it isn’t peer reviewed. Most funders (including HEFCE for the REF) will want to see a peer-reviewed version being made open access.
- #68 Final published PDF would be perfect, but most publishers won’t let us put this in an open access repository (they have to protect their income).
- #69 Accepted manuscript is the compromise. This is the author-prepared version which included any edits made following peer-review, but doesn’t include the publisher’s formatting or typesetting. It’s peer-reviewed, so meets most open access requirements, and most publishers will let us use it (see sherpa romeo). This is usually the one to go for.

It’s peer-reviewed, so meets most open access requirements, and most publishers will let us use it (see sherpa romeo). This is usually the one to go for.
- #71 Most publishers require an embargo period, a period of time after publication before we can make the manuscript open access. They have to protect their income. BUT… this isn’t a restriction on deposit. Deposit the paper to a repository straight away, as early as possible. The embargo can be set in the repository and the paper will automatically become available one it elapses. Practical example: look back at SHERPA/RoMEO. What is the required embargo period for our journal?
- #73 Open Access monographs are still quite small but are becoming more of an issue.
- #74 A number of interesting models are emerging: Freemium = html of the book is freely available online, if you want an ‘enhanced’ version (eg. paper, pdf, ebook reader, with metadata) then you have to pay. Crowdsourcing = people buy the ebook for a fee but once a certain number of copies are sold (set in advance) the book becomes open access Library consortia = academic libraries group together to pay for specific titles to be made open access. Libraries would be paying anyway if they weren’t open access.
- #75 The end. Please get in touch if you need any further details.
