Optimising Resources to develop a strategic approach to OARepository Fringe
This document summarizes a project that aims to develop shared tools and best practices to help higher education institutions with limited funding effectively respond to open access policies. The project will create customizable open access cost models, case studies, best practice policies and procedures, decision trees, and guides. It seeks to find an optimal balance of green and gold open access that goes beyond funder compliance to consider internal research strategies and stakeholder needs.
The main challenges facing universities and authors in moving to OA for journal articles are achieving compliance, managing costs, and realising the benefits of OA. This session will outline Jisc services that help, from submission of an article, through acceptance, to publication and use. It will show how these services build on existing infrastructure, where possible, to provide a solution that, while tailored to UK circumstances, is more widely applicable.
The document summarizes differences and similarities between Bournemouth University (BU) and University College London (UCL) in implementing open access policies and managing their institutional repositories. Both universities use Symplectic Elements to manage publications and have institutional repositories (BURO and UCL Discovery), though they differ in staff support and how open access funding is administered. Key challenges for both include engaging academics, addressing versioning and metadata issues, and enforcing new open access mandates and policies around research assessment.

The confluence of various technologies and Open Access (OA) initiatives make it easy to share research outputs via social media and assess the reach and impact of dissemination. The Library at Leeds Beckett utilises LibGuides as our CMS and supports the institutional research management infrastructure comprising Symplectic Elements and EPrints, and we have developed a dedicated series of LibGuides around selected themes comprising a range of relevant information and including institutional research outputs. For World Diabetes Day, for example, we curated a collection of research outputs and utilised the Elements API to display a date ordered list of citations including, where available, links to author versions, self-archived and openly accessible in EPrints alongside an embedded Twitter feed from @WDD, the Official Twitter account of the campaign from the International Diabetes Federation. The page was disseminated via Twitter from accounts operated by the Library, @BeckettLibrary and @BeckettResearch, including targeted tweets to @WDD and individual academics. With over 4,500 and 1,500 followers respectively these accounts are well subscribed and received several "retweets". The guide, whilst highlighting and strengthening the role of the library as a tool for researchers, was also an advocacy tool to engage academics in OA. This paper will explore the context and technology of this initiative and present data from Twitter analytics and so called "altmetrics" as a means of visualising how research is shared and disseminated online and which are potential indicators of impact beyond the traditional readership of scholarly material, especially in conjunction with OA.
The document discusses the proposed solution to build a National Bibliographic Knowledgebase (NBK) to address problems libraries face. It outlines:
1) The need for a new national service to aggregate UK library data to support collection management, ebook management, and digital access.
2) The objectives of the NBK, including enabling data-driven decisions, collection management, improving ebook data and discovery, and supporting innovation.
3) How the NBK would be built by aggregating data from libraries through a large service provider and making this available to services.
4) Related work by Jisc to specify the NBK, select a provider, clarify metadata and the business model, and design
University of Edinburgh Digital Library OJS at St Andrews OA week 2012cgknowles
The document discusses Open Journal Systems (OJS), an open source journal management and publishing system developed by the Public Knowledge Project. It notes that as of June 2012, there were over 14,100 OJS journals worldwide. It then summarizes the University of Edinburgh's journal hosting service, which uses OJS to provide a platform for student and academic journals, offering training, support, and promoting visibility through registration with directories like DOAJ.
Launch of Directory of Open Access Books by Eelco FerwerdaOAbooks
The document discusses the official launch of the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB). Key points:
- DOAB is a discovery service that provides a searchable index and links to peer-reviewed open access monographs from academic publishers.
- It was developed with input from users during a beta period to understand needs like quality control standards and transparency of processes.
- Requirements for inclusion in DOAB are that books must be available under an open access license and subjected to independent external peer review.
- The goals are to increase discoverability of open access books, provide an authoritative list of publishers, support quality assurance, and promote open access book publishing.
Lessons in Open Access Compliance for Higher Education (LOCH)Repository Fringe
The document discusses the Lessons in Open Access Compliance for Higher Education (LOCH) project which involves the University of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt University, and St Andrews University. The project aims to help the universities manage open access payments and compliance through tools like PURE, adapting workflows to make open access seamless for academics, and developing case studies, workshops, and reports on their processes. Planned outputs include case studies, webinars, workshops, blog posts, and guidance to help other universities with open access requirements.
Open Access Scholarly Publishing models for SSHOpenEdition
This document discusses open access scholarly publishing models for the social sciences and humanities. It provides an overview of OpenEdition, an open access publishing platform, and its various publications including journals, monographs, blogs, and event programs that are freely accessible online. It also discusses some of the economic models used by open access publishers, including article and book processing charges, as well as funding sources that can support sustainable open access publishing.
The session will start with questions like: why should research funders foster open access? What are the goals of switching to an open, transparent system for scholarly publishing? The German Research Foundation’s (DFG) researcher-oriented perspective on the ‘open’ paradigm and the Dutch Research Foundation’s (NWO) open access requirements will be depicted as national examples. Finally, the session will elaborate on recent international trends and developments regarding the need to better align policies, the attempts to invest already available resources for transitioning towards open access, and the growing awareness that a dedicated infrastructure is needed in order to implement any open access policy.
Knowledge Unlatched: Enabling Open Access for Scholarly BooksLucy Montgomery
Although digital technology has made it possible for many more people to access content at no extra cost, fewer people than ever before are able to read the books written by university-based researchers. This presentation explores the role that open access licenses and collective action might play in reviving the scholarly monograph: a specialised area of academic publishing that has seen sales decline by more than 90 per cent over the past three decades. It also introduces Knowledge Unlatched an ambitious attempt to create an internationally coordinated, sustainable route to open access for scholarly books. Knowledge Unlatched is now in its pilot phase.
The document outlines new roles and services for libraries and librarians, including creating discovery hubs, research concierge services, data curation, and spaces to support interprofessional education and collaboration. Key points are:
1) Libraries will transform spaces and services to become discovery centers that bring users together through shared workspaces, customized resources, and showcasing university research.
2) Librarians will take on more active roles in supporting research, education, and innovation as integral members of project teams by providing literature searches, publishing support, and training.
3) The library will contribute to interprofessional education by providing neutral space and coordination for student instruction sessions and information support across health sciences disciplines.
What is Open Access? An Introduction to OAAbby Clobridge
An introduction to Open Access: What is Open Access? Why Open Access? Open Access Journals (Gold OA), Open Access Repositories (Green OA), Open Access Policies, Discoverability of OA content through Metadata, Interoperability, and the Open Knowledge Environment
What are the key drivers behind the dramatic growth in library-based publishing? This session explores differences and similarities through three case studies from different countries: Sweden, the UK and the USA. The presenters will describe the forces that are changing the roles of their parent libraries and show how these are also shaping the nature of their publishing programmes. They will also discuss some of the opportunities they see for the future of libraries as publishers and the challenges these new entrants are encountering.
The Australian ORCID Consortium was established in January 2016 with 40 founding members including universities, research agencies, and organizations. It allows members access to premium ORCID features at a reduced price and provides Australian-based technical support. The Consortium was preceded by the formation of an ORCID Working Group in 2014 and two national ORCID roundtables in 2015 that led to the development of a joint statement of principles and a Consortium model. The Consortium aims to support widespread ORCID adoption across the Australian research sector through engagement activities, resources, and sharing of implementation experiences.
Collection development is big business and how academic libraries decide to invest in content is radically changing. This is being driven as much by new approaches to organisational design, relationship management, and data insight in universities as by changes to business models and technology in scholarly publishing and the supply chain. Based on recent experience at Edinburgh, Manchester and Northumbria, this participatory session will explore new strategies for collection development, and specifically address challenges and opportunities faced by libraries that have moved or are transitioning from traditional subject librarian roles.
Strand 2: Onix for OA Books by Graham Bell, EditeurOAbooks
This document discusses using ONIX, a metadata standard, to describe open access books in the book supply chain. It outlines some key issues for describing open access monographs in ONIX, such as identifying funders as publishers rather than authors and including links to open access licenses. Some proposed additions to ONIX are presented, such as new codes to flag items as unpriced or to link related print and electronic versions, which could be ratified for a future release. Overall the document examines how small changes to ONIX could better support describing open access books in the book supply chain.
Modern research metrics and new models of evaluation have risen high on the academic agenda in the last few years. In this session two UK institutions who have adopted such metrics across their faculty will share their motivations and experiences of doing so, and explain further how they are integrating these data into existing models of review and analysis.
Open access, universities as publishers - Jisc Digital Festival 2015Jisc
This session focussed on areas where universities are (re)discovering roles, especially in the area of book publishing. Participants will be provided with evidence to help them consider this role for universities as publishers and its implications for them.
Alex and Conor introduce SAH Journal (sahjournal.com) as an open access academic journal project involving the collaborative efforts of emerging and established scholars as well as academic librarians. Conor explains the benefits of collaborating with research librarians through publishing. Alex asserts that librarians (libraries) are perfectly positioned to enter into direct competition with established commercial journal publishers. He explains the mechanics of electronic publishing from conceptional planning to implementation via, in this instance, Open Journal Systems (OJS).

This document discusses funding models for maintaining open or club digital projects over the long term. It identifies several potential revenue sources such as core funding, membership fees, use fees, grants, partnerships, and advertising. However, most projects rely on one or two sources which may not be sustainable over time. The document recommends having multiple, diverse revenue streams and being open to innovating new services and business models as existing sources change. No single solution will work for all projects without adaptation to changing environments and needs.

Academic Libraries Engaging in Publishing: A Burgeoning Service Model in the ...IFLAAcademicandResea
IFLA ARL Webinar Series | Held online on August 1, 2019
This presentation focuses on Academic Libraries Engaging in Publishing: a Burgeoning Service Model in the Open Access Sphere, presented by Jody Bailey, Head of Scholarly Communications Office, Emory University Libraries, and Ted Polley, Social Sciences & Digital Publishing, IUPUI University Library.
The document discusses the next wave of open expansion and access to information. It notes that while the internet promised greater access, much information remains restricted. Open access aims to make scholarly articles freely available online to all users. However, different stakeholders have pursued different open access strategies, including green vs gold roads. A strategic review found that to achieve true culture change and progress, the open community needs to clearly define goals, consider incentives, and realign rewards and metrics to value open practices. Broader policies from funders and other groups could help accelerate open expansion's impact.
The document discusses two open access journals in library and information science - Collaborative Librarianship and The Journal of Creative Library Practice. For Collaborative Librarianship, it describes how the journal was started, the editor's role, financial details including donations and expenses, usage data, and marketing efforts. For The Journal of Creative Library Practice, it discusses the history, why an open license was chosen, the publishing platform, other similar journals, financial costs, and usage analytics. Marketing strategies for the journals are also outlined.
LIBER, Ligue Européenne des Bibliothèques de Recherche, launched its new strategy 2018-2022 in November 2017. This presentation gives an overview about LIBER's vision, strategic directions, steering committee and working groups - existing and to be created in the years to come.
Leveraging the Network to Make Open Access HappenLIBER Europe
1) The document discusses the transition to open science and open access in scholarly communication. It notes that while libraries traditionally supported researchers through collecting and disseminating journals, the digital age now enables open sharing of information through repositories and open access models.
2) LIBER (the Association of European Research Libraries) supports enabling open science through advocacy, developing policies, training, and building infrastructure like repositories to support open access publishing and research data management.
3) There are various approaches to open access ("colors") including consortia licenses, repositories ("green OA"), fully open access journals ("gold OA"), hybrid journals ("silver OA"), and offsetting subscription funds towards open access publication fees. Libraries play an
In the spring of 2015, Rebecca Kennison and Lisa Norberg launched the Open Access Network (OAN), a transformative solution for sustainable OA publishing and archiving in the humanities and social sciences. They spent the first six months talking to scholars, librarians, publishers, and academic administrators, then used their feedback to make extensive changes to the plan. Fundamental elements of the original model remain core to the OAN, including partnerships among key stakeholders and broad support across all tertiary institutions. This presentation will introduce the new model, offer insights on getting to Plan B and provide an update on implementation.
This document summarizes Dr. Frances Pinter's experiences promoting open access for scholarly monographs. It discusses various open access business models and initiatives, challenges around metadata and discoverability, and calls for stakeholders to work together on sustainable and cost-effective open access processes. Key points include Bloomsbury Academic's early adoption of open access, Knowledge Unlatched's crowdfunding model, and the importance of Central European University Press's mission. The document advocates for improving metadata standards, tracking usage data, and integrating open access monographs into libraries.
Sthlm Uni Press Presentation @ LPC in Portland, OR, USA in March 2015Sofie Wennström
Stockholm University Press, founded by Stockholm University in 2013, is publishing its first books in early 2015. As a new player in the arena of scholarly communication the competition is hard. New presses today are born in a unique context with demand for full Open Access to research results and data, whereby there is added value to be generated to the benefit of the researchers and the University.
In this session we aim to address the possibilities and benefits inherent in the relationship between researchers and libraries in relation to future scholarly publishing and dissemination of research findings. The session will start off with analyst Sofie Wennström talking about the current state of affairs and practices at Stockholm University Press, pointing out its challenges and opportunities, especially in terms of the quality assessment process through peer-review and press management. This will be followed by a talk by Dr Thomas Neidenmark on how Stockholm University Press is working with the value of the publications and how the library and the university can turn publication data into meaningful tools for evaluation. Brian Hole will close the session with a note on how collaboration between university presses can further grow the credibility of and add quality to the peer review process. The short talks will be intertwined by interactive sessions where brief discussions in small groups in order to share ideas and experiences, also to be shared with the larger group at the end of each breakout session. The aim is to encourage the exchange of opportunities and challenges, addressing and creating take-away messages for all participants. These results will be documented in an article summarizing the session and the shared experiences.
A workshop from the MmIT 2016 conference "Digital Citizenship - What is the library's role?" held in Sheffield from 12-13 September 2016.
Changes in scholarly publishing have created a requirement for authors to leverage multiple digital tools in order to build their profile, identity, scholarship and impact within and beyond their institutions. This workshop provided an opportunity for delegates to discuss and reflect on tools which can be used to build an online scholarly presence.

Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark UniverseSérgio Sacani
Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.

Compositions of iron-meteorite parent bodies constrainthe structure of the pr...Sérgio Sacani
Magmatic iron-meteorite parent bodies are the earliest planetesimals in the Solar System,and they preserve information about conditions and planet-forming processes in thesolar nebula. In this study, we include comprehensive elemental compositions andfractional-crystallization modeling for iron meteorites from the cores of five differenti-ated asteroids from the inner Solar System. Together with previous results of metalliccores from the outer Solar System, we conclude that asteroidal cores from the outerSolar System have smaller sizes, elevated siderophile-element abundances, and simplercrystallization processes than those from the inner Solar System. These differences arerelated to the formation locations of the parent asteroids because the solar protoplane-tary disk varied in redox conditions, elemental distributions, and dynamics at differentheliocentric distances. Using highly siderophile-element data from iron meteorites, wereconstruct the distribution of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) across theprotoplanetary disk within the first million years of Solar-System history. CAIs, the firstsolids to condense in the Solar System, formed close to the Sun. They were, however,concentrated within the outer disk and depleted within the inner disk. Future modelsof the structure and evolution of the protoplanetary disk should account for this dis-tribution pattern of CAIs.

SDSS1335+0728: The awakening of a ∼ 106M⊙ black hole⋆Sérgio Sacani
Context. The early-type galaxy SDSS J133519.91+072807.4 (hereafter SDSS1335+0728), which had exhibited no prior optical variations during the preceding two decades, began showing significant nuclear variability in the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) alert stream from December 2019 (as ZTF19acnskyy). This variability behaviour, coupled with the host-galaxy properties, suggests that SDSS1335+0728 hosts a ∼ 106M⊙ black hole (BH) that is currently in the process of ‘turning on’. Aims. We present a multi-wavelength photometric analysis and spectroscopic follow-up performed with the aim of better understanding the origin of the nuclear variations detected in SDSS1335+0728. Methods. We used archival photometry (from WISE, 2MASS, SDSS, GALEX, eROSITA) and spectroscopic data (from SDSS and LAMOST) to study the state of SDSS1335+0728 prior to December 2019, and new observations from Swift, SOAR/Goodman, VLT/X-shooter, and Keck/LRIS taken after its turn-on to characterise its current state. We analysed the variability of SDSS1335+0728 in the X-ray/UV/optical/mid-infrared range, modelled its spectral energy distribution prior to and after December 2019, and studied the evolution of its UV/optical spectra. Results. From our multi-wavelength photometric analysis, we find that: (a) since 2021, the UV flux (from Swift/UVOT observations) is four times brighter than the flux reported by GALEX in 2004; (b) since June 2022, the mid-infrared flux has risen more than two times, and the W1−W2 WISE colour has become redder; and (c) since February 2024, the source has begun showing X-ray emission. From our spectroscopic follow-up, we see that (i) the narrow emission line ratios are now consistent with a more energetic ionising continuum; (ii) broad emission lines are not detected; and (iii) the [OIII] line increased its flux ∼ 3.6 years after the first ZTF alert, which implies a relatively compact narrow-line-emitting region. Conclusions. We conclude that the variations observed in SDSS1335+0728 could be either explained by a ∼ 106M⊙ AGN that is just turning on or by an exotic tidal disruption event (TDE). If the former is true, SDSS1335+0728 is one of the strongest cases of an AGNobserved in the process of activating. If the latter were found to be the case, it would correspond to the longest and faintest TDE ever observed (or another class of still unknown nuclear transient). Future observations of SDSS1335+0728 are crucial to further understand its behaviour. Key words. galaxies: active– accretion, accretion discs– galaxies: individual: SDSS J133519.91+072807.4

Photometric and spectroscopic followup with NIRCam and NIRSpec, respectively, confirm the redshift and yield UV-NIR light-curve, NIR color, and spectroscopic information all consistent with a Type Ia classification. Despite its classification as a likely SN Ia, SN 2023adsy is both fairly red (

counterparts, and to confirm that standardized luminosities nevertheless remain constant with redshift.
Evidence of Jet Activity from the Secondary Black Hole in the OJ 287 Binary S...Sérgio Sacani
Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.
JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDSSérgio Sacani
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.

3. What is
sustainability?
• Single model or entire system?
• Commercially viable?
• Short or long term?
• Self-sustaining?
• Sustainability for who?
• For the Sciences of for the
Humanities too?
• Sustainable ecology?
4. Hence when the OA discussion shifts to sustainable business
models, it invariably becomes a discussion about the publishing
business. The implication is that what needs sustaining are the
publishers themselves. (…) From the scholarly perspective, what
needs sustaining is not publishers, but rather a communication
system that supports its culture of inquiry. That is to say, what
needs to be sustained ultimately is the culture of free critical
inquiry certified by the rigors of open collaboration.
