1. Jeffery Loo December 17, 2009 jloo@berkeley.edu On Promoting Open Access at LBNL

2. “With any entrée, you get unlimited access to the trough.”

3. Agenda

4. 1 Awareness of open access principles

5. conceive design researchwrite publish publicize funding challenges journal subscription fees copyright ownership / control reader access return on public investment Research life cycle challenges (Treloar and Groenewegen, 2007)

7. Open access responds to these challenges Publishing that is Digital and online Free access for readers * Fewer copyright restrictions not free for authors (Suber, 2007)

8. Motivations for OA participation Career building Gain “your place at the table” Legal obligation NIH Public Access Policy Advancing science and technology Ethical reasons: research transparency and access Self-interest Altruism

9. Advantages and concerns Advantages Greater visibility and citation rate Digital Free access Promotes collaboration and exchange Concerns Publishing quality Preservation and authenticity Sustainability of author-pays model Conflict of interest when author pays (Information Platform Open Access, 2009)

10. 2 Open access models

11. open access licensing open access publishing open access self- archiving institutional support of open access institutional policy and mandates institutional collaboration advocacy Spectrum of open access models Less effort Individual level More effort Collaboration

12. Open access licenses an alternative to traditional copyright

13. Open access journals free to read, but not to produce

14. Springer Open Choice

15. Open access archives and repositories Self-archiving Where to archive: Directory of Open Access Repositories http://www.opendoar.org Permission to self-archive? Sherpa-Romeo database http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/index.html

16. arXiv.org

17. publishing system and repository no fees for UC members and LBNL UCPubS - print on demand

18. administrative and financial Institutional support Compact for Open Access Publishing Equity

19. Berkeley Research Impact Initiative (BRII) Funding for OA publishing by UC Berkeley members

20. Institutional policy and mandates MIT – all faculties Harvard – Faculty of Arts and Sciences Stanford – School of Education

21. Institutional collaboration SCOAP 3 Collaboration to promote open access publications in high energy physics

22. Advocacy (for the law) Nobel Laureates Open letter re: Federal Research Public Access Act (FRPAA)

23. Spectrum of OA options Manage your intellectual property Retain copyright Reserve some licensing rights in publications Adopt fair copyright policies Maximize the reach and impact of your work through open access Use alternative forms of publishing Open access repositories Open access journals Support sustainable scholarly communication Wield your influence with publishers Promulgate society publishing best practices Support publishing experiments and new business models Comply with public access mandates NIH Public Access Policy The University of California recommends

24. What’s on the horizon? Open data GenBank Science Commons DataONE Encouragement by: CIHR Wellcome Trust eScience Cyberinfrastructure High performance computing at LBNL

25. Open Science transparency and collaboration open notebook science citizen science (Lyon, 2009)

26. Other research communication Pubcast on SciVee Object Re-Use and Exchange (ORE) Standard Herbert Van de Sompel (LANL) (Pepe et al., ?)

30. 3 Discussion

31. 1. Are open access awareness and activities important at LBNL? 2. If so, is there a need for promoting open access? 3. What would be the promotional message? 4. What activities could be developed to promote open access at LBNL? 5. How do existing reporting structures at LBNL, particularly Report Coordination and the DOE's Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) programs, align with open access initiatives?

32. Issues for reflection Open access awareness and activity Key LBNL supporters of OA publishing Administrative support for OA initiatives Metrics for the awareness, activity, and support of OA What OA support do LBNL members need? Funding How much is LBNL spending on OA publishing fees? Are the OA journal pricing models prohibitive? Are alternative models and sources of funding necessary? Advocacy

33. Conclusion by haiku Open access helps Protect, preserve, publicize - What can be done here?
