Funders and Open Access
• Open Access to research– Benefits for funders and researchers– Opens new readers and uses– Assists information management– . . . but slow to reach the tipping point
• Funders have recognised:– the benefits of OA for their work– their position allows them to gain those benefits by
working with researchers – released policies which need action
• JULIET lists funding bodies policies on open access through archiving, publication and data exposure
A companion to RoMEO . . .• JULIET tells you what funders require you to do
with your research . . . • RoMEO tells you which journals will let you do it.
JULIET
• Analyses funding agency policies and research contracts
• Summarises conditions relating to Open Access to research outputs
• Grades policies according to the requirements• Used by repository managers; research
managers; researchers; research support offices; funders and publishers
• Assists compliance, workflows and policy development
JULIET
Whether to archive: Deposit required
What to archive: The full final version
When to archive: On publication
The ideal publications archiving policy has three key parts:
Open Access Archiving
Open Access Publishing
Whether to publish: Publication in Open Access Journal or Hybrid Journal required
An Open Access Publications policy gives, by definition, open access
Open Access Data
Whether to archive: Data archiving required
When to archive: Within five years
Open Access to Data has diverse interpretations. JULIET reflects identified ideal practice:
• NIH request had low compliance ~ 5%– requirements imply close compliance– need work-flows and support to build that compliance
• JULIET lists 31 funding agencies– 25 have archiving requirements– 7 have data requirements
• 6 of 7 RCUK have archiving requirements• 36 of 38 Russell/1994 Group have repositories• Tipping point in sight . . .
