Page 4: Open access

What is Open Access?

• Immediately (embargo’s are possible)• Research (publications, but also datasets)• With as few restrictions (reuse and copyright)

as possible

Why

• Research payed for by tax payer’s money should be available to them without extra cost

• Because my research funder obliges me to make my research available in Open Access

• Colleagues worldwide should have access to my research, not only those who can pay all subscription prices

Why

• I want to increase visibility and impact of my work

• I want my research to be available as soon as possible

• I disagree with the policies of the big publishers

Different Ways to make your work OA

Deposit an open access version of your work in a repository Publish directly in an

OA journal

Self-archiving

• Deposit research in OA repository – Institutional

– Subject (discipline-specific)

• Better than personal, departmental or project website!

Self-archiving

• Immediate OA or after embargo period (discipline-specific)

• ‘Free’• Main focus of mandates

Page 11: Open access

Open Access publishing

• Publish in OA Journal• All disciplines• OA has no influence on quality of journal!• With or without Article Processing Charges/

Author Fees

Open Access publishing

• Hybrid OA: – traditional journal -> OA Fee -> immediate OA – your institution still has to pay subscription fees

because not all content is freely accessible …

Open Access publishing

• Young journals -> not always scoring well in traditional metrics systems – but are catching up! (PLOS, BioMedCentral, …)

Page 14: Open access

It’s not over …

• Mainstreaming – More attention– Also: more discussion!

• Lots of experimenting going on! – Financing OA journals– Overlay journals based on repository content – …

• Altmetrics• Text and data mining

The European perspective

• European Commission: big research funder (FP7 – Horizon 2020)

• 2 dedicated commissioners Neelie Kroes and Máire Geoghegan-Quinn

The EC and Open Access

• Why open access ?– Serving research and innovation (R&I) and improving

return on investment – Allow the benefits of science to be exploited by all

(researchers, industry, citizens) and give equal access in all EU27 Member States

– Give free access to results of publicly-funded research – Drive down the costs for dissemination without

sacrificing quality

The EC and Open Access

• A means to improve knowledge circulation – Not a goal in itself ! – Not all Member States are the same

• Both 'Green' and 'Gold' open access measures should be promoted in Horizon 2020, both should be valid and complementary approaches (transition period of the market)

• “Open access must be effective, fair, affordable, competitive and sustainable for researchers and innovative businesses”

OA Pilot in FP7

• 7 areas (>1300 projects to date) – 20% of total FP7 budget (2007-2013) – OpenAIRE portal www.openaire.eu – Linking of publications with datasets

• 'Best effort' to provide OA • Peer-reviewed publications • Allowed embargos: 6/12 months • Refunding of OA publishing costs – Eligible while project runs

OA Mandate in Horizon 2020

• No longer a pilot : OA becomes an obligation• All scientific areas • Peer-reviewed publications• Allowed embargos: 6/12 months • Plus: pilot for research data • OA publishing costs – Eligibile while project runs – plus (tbc): possibility to cover later publications,

under conditions to define

• Infrastructure to implement EC’s OA policy– Visibility– Access– Tools & services– Linking research output to project information and

data• www.openaire.eu

What do you think?

• Are you making your research OA already? Why (not)?

• What can be done on university/government level as incentives

• Would you consider taking part of OA initiatives such as new journals, training sessions, …

• How about your research data? • …
