Researcher KnowHow: Liverpool Elements, publications and Open Access
- 1. Elements, publications and Open Access 12th April 2018 Sarah Roughley Scholarly Communications Librarian
- 2. What we’ll cover: •What is Liverpool Elements •How to add publication information to your profile •How to deposit publication files •What Open Access means •Funder policies on Open Access
- 3. What is Liverpool Elements? Current Research Information System Record of all university research outputs Populates other systems such as web profiles Can be accessed via the staff homepage under tools and services
- 4. Adding publications to your profile Automatically • Elements searches for publications it thinks belong to you • You ‘claim’ or ‘reject’ them • Saves time, but reliant on data from publisher so can be a delay • Must ensure search settings are set up Manually • Useful if your publication hasn’t yet been picked up by Elements • Entering basic details when accepted for publication helps you to comply with REF OA requirements • Elements will supplement record later when full metadata available
- 6. Depositing research outputs: REF Open Access policy You MUST deposit the Author Accepted Manuscript of journal articles and conference proceedings (with an ISSN) that were accepted for publication after the 1st April 2016 within three months of acceptance.
- 7. What is Open Access? “Open Access means peer-reviewed academic research and work that is free to read online and that anyone may redistribute and reuse, with some restrictions” Eve, M. (2014) Open access and the humanities: contexts, controversies and the future. Cambridge: CUP.

Editor's Notes
- Have Elements and Elements Test open.
- Gold open access is funded by fees charged by the publisher and are usually referred to as Article processing Charges. These are the fees that publishers say cover the cost of the publication for them to actually publish. Although these fees are charged to the author, it is very rarely that the author pays them. Once these fees are paid, this means that the paper is available immediately as open access upon publication and at the source of publication so the publisher’s website. The author does not sign over the copyright to the publisher, instead they are able to choose a creative commons licence which dictate how others can use the work. Gold open access is available either in pure open access journals or in hybrid journals.
- The second open access route is green. Green does not have any associated charges. The paper is published via the subscription route but the author can deposit their paper into a subject or institutional repository which means it can then be accessed by anyone and everyone. The publishers put an embargo period on it which is usually around a year so that they can make some money out of the paper first. After that embargo period has passed the paper is made live in the repository. There are lots of subject repositories and most universities now have their own institutional repository, as we do at Liverpool.
- There are lots of benefits to open access publishing. There are benefits to you the researcher and your institution and there are also benefits to wider academia and society. So for you the researcher, if more people can read your work, more people are going to cite it. It has been shown that if something is available on an open access basis, it tends to be cited more. More people reading your work means more opportunities for research collaborations. And it’s good for the university if your work is more visible. For wider academia and society, there are also benefits. So as we’ve already seen, it means smaller institutions or universities in developing countries can access research that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford. We’ve already talked about how much accessing this research actually costs, and how prohibitive these costs can be. Those outside of academia can also access the latest research – policy makers, government workers, charities, practitioners like teachers and pharmacists, small businesses, independent researchers, or just interested people. And at the end of the day, this research is publicly funded, everyone should be able to access it. There are examples on the Open Access guide of where access to research has made a real difference.
