Michael Markie talks about open reserch publishing platforms | OSFair2017 Workshop Workshop title: Open Access Models & Platforms Workshop overview: What are the emerging models of Open Access for publications? Who should be involved? How are costs distributed over the stakeholders involved? How can OA platforms innovate further to embrace Open Science? This workshop will discuss and showcase the range of models available, including their costs and organisational aspects, to discuss their relative strengths and weaknesses in different academic contexts. When: DAY 1 - PARALLEL SESSION 1 & 2

Publisher, F1000 Platforms
Open Research
Publishing Platforms
Moving beyond research journals

2. Time to evolve how we communicate research

3. Changing requirements of funders/institutions
Drive towards open data,
software and materials
Demand for rapid access
Demand to accelerate impact
Drive to open &
collaborative research

4. Funder based platforms
• The first public funder to be announced in 2 weeks.

5. Institutional based platforms

6. - a service to their researchers - outlet (complementary) for all
research findings
- testing new approach to improve science & its impact:
- accelerate access & sharing of findings & data
- efficiency - to reduce waste & support reproducibility
- alternative OA model - access, transparency, cost
- enable researchers get credit & recognition for a wider range of
research outputs (DORA declaration)
Why launch a funder/institutional platform?

7. “To improve the way research is communicated
by enabling researchers to publish in an open and
accessible way”
• Make it easier for researchers to provide
information that supports reproducibility.
• Support a move away from the flawed metrics of
the Journal Impact Factor and related measures.
• Help to “shift the needle” and inform new policies
on researcher assessment.
Case Study: The Wellcome Trust

8. How it works:
• Articles that pass peer review will be fully indexed in Europe PMC, PMC, PubMed,
Scopus, Google Scholar and other bibliographical databases.

9. Case Study: The Wellcome Trust

10. Case Study: The Wellcome Trust

11. Case Study: The Wellcome Trust

12. Case Study: The Wellcome Trust

13. Case Study: Wellcome Trust
 112 Published Articles
 75 Articles indexed in
PubMed, PMC & Europe
PMC.
Total Article views: 45,500
Total downloads: 10,000

14. What are the Benefits?
• Fast – articles published within a week
• Inclusive – can publish all research outputs
• Open – fulfils funders OA & data sharing requirements
• Reproducible – data published alongside article
• Transparent – open, author-driven, peer review
• Easy – costs are met directly by the funders

15. • Prove the model works effectively: can accelerate impact
• Researchers embrace approach, supported by
Funders/Institutions
• Publisher role changes: from gatekeepers to facilitators;
compete to provide best services
• Changes piste for metrics: greater access to range of
research outputs & data on behaviours/contributions
Long Term Vision

Long Term Vision
• Open Research Central – platforms merge &
across all fields of research

17. Challenges
All cultural, not technical!

18. Questions and discussion
