1. Knowledge Unlatched: One Route to Open Access Dr. Frances Pinter CRIStin Oslo, Norway 7 June 2016

2.  Collaborate initiative – libraries and publishers working together  A road to Open Access  A space to learn together  KU Research What is Knowledge Unlatched?

3.  Spread costs of OA across many institutions globally  Help libraries to maximize the positive impact of spending on books  Feed back research results How to Achieve KU’s Vision

4. The KU Model

5. Collected Books from Publishers Surveyed Libraries Construction of the Model 13 publishers, 28 books Average hb price $95 Average Title Fee* $12,000 Recruit 200 libraries to pay $60 per book * ‘Title Fee’ is the cost of getting to first digital file or sometimes called a BPC (book processing charge) Pilot Project Design

6. Round 2 78 books 26 publishers 8 small packages (cc 10 books per packages) five subjects (six single subject packages) two publisher packages (mixed subjects) What we did this year so far

7. Five Subjects Round 2 History (2 packages) Literature Politics Media & Communications Anthropology

8. Choice Select six of the eight packages Even better – support all eight packages

9. Pledging Process New Round will open in August 2016 More titles, more subject areas More choice

10. Two Rounds of Frontlist Books What we’ve done so far Pilot – 28 books from 13 publishers Downloads in 21 months – 80,000 Nearly 3000 downloads per book and growing In 175 countries Round 2 – 78 books from 26 publishers Unlatched April 2016

11. What we’ve done so far + 310% 50 28 15 0 78 + 279% 50% rejection rate Round IRound II Titles submitted Titles unlatched  All titles go through peer review within the publishing houses participating in KU  50% of all titles submitted were selected for KU by its Title Selection Committee Knowledge Unlatched secures the quality of titles to make selection of packages easier for librarians

16. Interim Results & Next Steps More than 100 monographs unlatched within two years 26 publishers participating More than 380 libraries from 26 countries participated so far Next Steps Adding backlist Adding journals Continued focus on HSS Knowledge Unlatched is offering more titles to become more relevant for libraries everywhere

17. Growing Knowledge Unlatched New at KU New website launched at the end of April 2016 – Title submission and title selection automated – Pledging by libraries automated, Pick & Chose enabled – Usage stats added to library profiles – Offer to include 300 frontlist and backlist titles

18. Book Backlists: Critical Mass Knowledge Unlatched with backlist titles can help to unlatch a large number of titles Goal: Increase relevance by adding more title volume through backlist (comparable to many consortia deals) Title selection: – Titles published 2005-2015 — English language titles only Topical packages, not mixed with frontlist Target price per title and library: €10-15 Title fee to publishers: approx. €2,300/title Hosting with publisher platforms and OAPEN Publishers to continue selling printed versions Recognition of participation if buying a second format (discount 35%) Publishers are submitting titles now Title Selection Committee will start working mid June Pledging period: August – December 2016

19. Open Access: The Challenge Structures and processes are needed to enable Open Access to accommodate the ways libraries work

20. Proof of Concept* Pilot and Round 2 Proof of Process (Scale up over 2016/17) New platform, backlist books & journals) Proof of Sustainability (2018+) Self-funding through mark-up *Three Stages of Proof – Rick Anderson, Scholarly Kitchen Going Forward

21. Adding Journals to KU Approx. 40% of all research in the humanities and social sciences is published in journals Funders are looking for ways to “flip” journals from subscriptions based or hybrid to OA Publishers feel the pressure to live up to funders’ and libraries’ expectations Particularly small publishers don’t have their own solution for open access and are being pushed out of the market First conversations with both stakeholder groups show strong interest in adding journals to the model Knowledge Unlatched is ideally suited to help unlatch journals Why Journals?

22. Journals: The Plan for 2018 Test with 30 journals from well-respected publishing houses, minimum 20 articles per annum Journals have to be at least ten years old Start with year 2018 Commitment from libraries for three years (2018-2021) Participation: 300-350 libraries in year one Target prices: €160 per journal/per library, €8 per article KU Journals – As easy as KU Books!

23. KU – London KU – Berlin KU – USA KU Research – Perth Knowledge Unlatched

24. KU Research Developing an international network of researchers, librarians, publishers and digital intermediaries Focussed on understanding processes of innovation and change in research communication ecologies Utilizing data and networks arising from KU Exploring the distribution and uses of OA books Methodologies for sharing data with stakeholder communities

25. Questions to you Are there any preconditions that have to be met to fund Knowledge Unlatched and other OA initiatives from regular collection building budgets? Would you be willing to fund Knowledge Unlatched from newly allocated Open Access Funds? Could Knowledge Unlatched work with CRIStin to construct a consortium offer for Norway? Would Norway be interested in a special Knowledge Unlatched project to help support books about and from developing countries?
