5. VLIZ Young Scientists Day 25 Feb 2005 Crisis in Scholarly Communication journals are the primary research publication channel journals are the primary research publication channel journal publishing is dominated by commercial ventures journal publishing is dominated by commercial ventures –A vicious circle : Researchers write papers for journals (free or page charges!)

12. VLIZ Young Scientists Day 25 Feb 2005 Solution - Alter the research landscape 2 complementary routes to Open Access to Research freely accessible, more visible, freely accessible, more visible, immediately available, free at the point of use immediately available, free at the point of use Open access publishing Open access publishing –model – author pays = OA –no payment = subscription Open access repositories (open archives) Open access repositories (open archives) –Author deposit of full text of articles, conference papers, reports, theses, learning objects, multimedia etc. - Scoped by need – –Journal articles = post refereed pre-published version deposited in IRs or subject based repositories

13. VLIZ Young Scientists Day 25 Feb 2005 Open Access What is it? – –Call for free, unrestricted access on the public internet to the literature that scholars give to the world without expectation of payment. Why? – –Widen dissemination, accelerate research, enrich education, share learning among rich & poor nations, enhance return on taxpayer investment in research. How? – – Use existing funds to pay for dissemination, not access.

14. VLIZ Young Scientists Day 25 Feb 2005 Open Access – Appealing to All the Major Stakeholders To the funders of researcher – both as a public service and as an increased return on their investment in research To the authors – as it gives wider dissemination and impact To readers – as it gives them access to all primary literature, making the most important research tool more powerful To editors and reviewers – as they feel their work is more valued To the libraries – as it allows them to meet the information needs of their users To the institutions – as it increases their presence and prestige To small and society publishers – as it gives them a survival strategy and fits with their central remit

15. VLIZ Young Scientists Day 25 Feb 2005 Open Access – increasing high level support Political Interest: – – UK Science and Technology Committee Inquiry: Scientific Publications: Free for all? 2004 Recommended that UK funding bodies should: Require that authors deposit a copy of their articles in their institutions repository within one month of publication. Review copyright and, provided it does not have a negative impact make it a condition of grant that authors retain copyright in their papers. Should provide as part of research grants monies to allow payment of charges for publication in Open Access journals. http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmsctech.htm

16. VLIZ Young Scientists Day 25 Feb 2005 Open Access – increasing high level support Political Interest: US Congress working with National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop new access policy Copies of all papers reporting research funded by NIH will be deposited in PubMed Central with six months of publication Approximately 60,000 papers each year will freely available as a result of this policy NIH to produce final plan by 1 December 2004 Sabo – Public Access to Science Act – high promise but did follow through http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-04-064.html

VLIZ Young Scientists Day 25 Feb 2005 Budapest Open Access Initiative 2002 Budapest Open Access Initiative 2002 Two complementary strategies: Self-Archiving: Scholars should be able to deposit their refereed journal articles in open electronic archives which conform to Open Archives Initiative standards Open-Access Journals: Journals will not charge subscriptions or fees for online access. Instead, they should look to other sources to fund peer-review and publication (e.g., publication charges) Open Society Institute (George Soros) offered funding to achieve this

21. VLIZ Young Scientists Day 25 Feb 2005 Open Access Publishing – making the transition A number of traditional publishers are transforming their closed access journals into open access journals: – –Proceedings of the National Academy of Science – –Oxford University Press – –Company of Biologists – – American Physiological Society – – Entomological Society of America – – Journal of Experimental Botany – – American Society of Limnology and Oceanography

38. VLIZ Young Scientists Day 25 Feb 2005 Institutional Repositories : what to deposit Reprints are published papers, usually in paper copy deposited in Libraries for centuries. Reprints are published papers, usually in paper copy deposited in Libraries for centuries. e-Prints are electronic copies of any research output (journal article, book; book chapter, conference paper, monogrqph, report etc.) e-Prints are electronic copies of any research output (journal article, book; book chapter, conference paper, monogrqph, report etc.) – preprints – unpublished papers before they are refereed – postprints – papers after they have been refereed pre journal version pre journal version – NOT journal pdf

39. VLIZ Young Scientists Day 25 Feb 2005 Pre-prints: Many publishers do permit authors to make the pre- prints version of the article available in repositories. By this they are referring to the pre-refereed version. Post Print – post refereed, pre journal version – some 65% of publishers will allow the text of article as published to be included in institutional repositories, but not in the form of the formatted PDF file that appears in the journal. Publisher PDFs : A very few publishers prefer the final journal PDF version to be used, as this is a clear indication that an article in a repository is the bona fide version. Personal or departmental web sites: Many publishers will permit authors to make their articles available on a personal web site or on a departmental site. By permitting this they are making a clear distinction between this type of web pages and institutional repositories. The fact that the full text of the article can easily be found using search engines regardless of whether it is available in a repository on a personal web site within the individual organisation domain is immaterial.

40. VLIZ Young Scientists Day 25 Feb 2005 Why institutional repositories? For the Individual Provide a central archive of their work Increase the dissemination and impact of their research Acts as a full CV and research reporting tool For the Institution Increases visibility and prestige Acts as an advertisement to funding sources, potential new faculty and students, etc. For Society Provide access to the worlds research Ensures long-term preservation of institutes academic output

41. VLIZ Young Scientists Day 25 Feb 2005 Benefits of an Institutional Repository Provides Institutional information asset management Current research, but also grey literature Defines Institutional sources of research Identifies Institutions value to funding sources Raises the profile of the Institution Institutional research more visible, more impact and available in electronic form – cited more (Lawrence: Nature) Contributes to national and global initiatives which will ensure an international audience for Institutions latest research. (Other universities are developing their own archives which, together, will be searchable by global search tools)

Traditionally authors sign over copyright, whether they own it or not! Who owns the copyright on your authored works? Who owns the copyright on your authored works? As a guide traditional copyright agreements have not allowed authors to: As a guide traditional copyright agreements have not allowed authors to: –Reuse an article as a chapter in a book –Revise or adapt an article –Distribute an article to colleagues –Reproduce copies of an article for teaching purposes –Self archive/make available an article in an repository –But now 70% of publishers allow deposit in institutional repositories

45. VLIZ Young Scientists Day 25 Feb 2005 Copyright Agreements Most publishers will be willing to discuss copyright agreements with authors. Obviously they may simply refuse to publish an article if an author is unwilling to sign a copyright agreement as it stands. However, publishers may be willing to accept a license that you have amended. They may also be willing to accept an alternative agreement. A number of publishers are now starting to offer "License to publish" agreements as an alternative to "Copyright Transfer" agreements, and often these are more liberal and may permit authors to deposit their papers in institutional repositories. For example: Licence to Publish Agreement by Wiley

46. VLIZ Young Scientists Day 25 Feb 2005

47. Authors can annotate Authors can add text to Copyright Forms : "I hereby transfer to [publisher or journal] all rights to sell or lease the text (on paper and online) of my paper [paper title]. I retain only the right to distribute it free for scholarly/scientific purposes, in particular the right to self- archive it publicly online on the Web." Often the publisher accepts the text or returns a license to publish form

52. VLIZ Young Scientists Day 25 Feb 2005 Intellectual Property Rights Property that derives from the work of the mind or intellect; An idea, invention, trade secret, process, program, data, formula, patent, copyright, or trademark or application, right, or registration relating thereto Intellectual property, very broadly, means the legal rights which result from intellectual activity in the industrial, scientific, literary and artistic fields. Countries have laws to protect intellectual property for two main reasons. One is to give statutory expression to the moral and economic rights of creators in their creations and the rights of the public in access to those creations. The second is to promote, as a deliberate act of Government policy, creativity and the dissemination and application of its results and to encourage fair trading which would contribute to economic and social development. Generally speaking, intellectual property law aims at safeguarding creators and other producers of intellectual goods and services by granting them certain time-limited rights to control the use made of those productions. Those rights do not apply to the physical object in which the creation may be embodied but instead to the intellectual creation as such. Intellectual property is traditionally divided into two branches, industrial property and copyright.

53. VLIZ Young Scientists Day 25 Feb 2005 Why contribute your work? To make your research more visible and available in electronic form To promote your work and that of other academics within your community To use it as a secure store for your research publications - which can help you to respond to the many requests for full text and publication data To contribute to national and global initiatives which will ensure an international audience for your latest research (other universities are developing their own archives which, together, will be searchable by global search tools)
