Slide 3

Internationally speaking World Health Organization (WHO) commits to Open Access by joining Europe PubMed Central (Wellcome Trust, 1 May 2014) WHO announces Open Access Policy (1 July 2014) Articles authored or co-authored by WHO staff will have to be published in OA journals or hybrid OA journals under Creative Commons 3.0 intergovernmental organization (IGO) license Subscription journals allowing deposit of accepted author manuscript in Europe PubMed Central w/i 12 months Articles produced by recipients of WHO funding will have to be published in OA journals or hybrid OA journals under standard CC license terms Subscription journals allowing deposit of articles in Europe PMC w/i 12 mos

Slide 4

Internationally speaking: The UK Ongoing debates re: Research Councils UK (RCUK) OA policyResearch Councils UK (RCUK) OA policy Favors gold open access but leaves final choice to authors (confusing) Gold OA is considered cheaper in the long run but may be expensive during transition away from established subscription models Independent review of implementation announced Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) announcement Only papers placed in IRs will be considered eligible for the next Research Excellence Framework (REF) (periodic assessment of the outputs of UK university depts.) Proposes mandated deposit on acceptance, rather than deposit on publication

Slide 5

Internationally speaking: Canada Draft Tri-Agency OA policy for publicly funded research Draft Tri-Agency OA policy Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) CIHR was the 1 st North American public research funder to have an OA mandate Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Efforts under way to extend this to all federally funded research Option 1: Submit manuscripts to journals offering immediate OA, or within 12 months Option 2: Archive final peer-reviewed full-text manuscripts in a digital archive where it will be freely accessible within 12 months

Slide 6

Internationally speaking: Latin America Argentina: OA law passed Argentinas Senate in November 2013 Brazil: National draft policy in place (2011-) Mexico: National draft policy in place (2013-) Peru: Law passed in 2013

Slide 7

At the national level: Energy U.S. Dept. of Energy unveils plan to increase public access to research it finances (CHE, 4 August 2014) Prompted by White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) memorandumWhite House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) memorandum Energy 1 st agency to release its public access plan Web-based portal: Public Access Gateway for Energy and Science (PAGES) Initial rollout: 6,500 papers and abstracts only for some (Science Insider, 4 August 2014)

Slide 8

SPARC response Good but... Falls short in some key areas (Heather Joseph, SPARC) Reuse rights not addressed clearly Publishers retain copyright to their versions of the research Metadata is in public domain No centralized system for searching No searchable index of the full text of articles Instead, distributed full-text access Dark archive of manuscripts to be used if links become broken or full-text access is interrupted No plans to provide ways for researchers to analyze the entirety of research Harder to do computational analysis, text or data miningthe kind of innovative uses the White House directive was designed to encourage

Slide 9

Publisher response Generally supportive of the DOE plan (CHE, 4 August 2014) However, the Association of American Publishers doesnt like the 12-month embargo the plan provides The half-life of published research varies across disciplines, which is an argument against blanket embargo periods Many publishers dislike PubMed Centralthey say it infringes on journal copyright and diverts readers from their websites, cutting into advertising revenues (Science Insider, 4 August 2014) White House order tried to address this concern

Slide 10

At the national level: Education U.S. Dept. of Education releases Secretarys Proposed Supplemental Priorities and Definitions for Discretionary Grant Programs (24 June 2014)Secretarys Proposed Supplemental Priorities and Definitions for Discretionary Grant Programs New definition for Open Educational Resource (OER) Understanding that OER can be used to improve and enhance department wide priorities Proposed Priority #11: Leveraging Technology to Support Instructional Practice and Professional Development

Slide 11

SPARC response Applauded proposal; cited additional proposed priorities that OER could help address Proposed Priority #3: Enabling the Creation of Personalized Learning Environments Proposed Priority #4: Targeting and Differentiating Material Specifically for High-Need Students Proposed Priority #5: Increasing Postsecondary Access, Affordability, and Completion Proposed Priority #7: Promoting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education

Slide 12

At the National Level: Congress HR 4186, Frontiers in Innovation, Research, Science, and Technology (FIRST) Act Language amended to match that of HR 3157, Public Access to Public Science Act (May 2014) Embargo period of 12 months, not 24 Allows for embargo to be modified by a maximum of 6 months if the stakeholders can prove substantial and unique harm Requires agencies to submit a report to Congress w/i 90 days detailing their public access policy; implementation w/i 1 year

Slide 13

At the state level: California California Taxpayer Access to Publicly Funded Research Legislation (AB 609) signed into law on 29 September 2014 Requires researchers receiving state-funded grant from the CA Dept. of Public Health to Submit an electronic copy of articles resulting from that grant and accepted for publication to a publicly accessible online database Or, if needing to be submitted to another OA repository, researchers can supply the link to the state agency and the CA State Library Within 12 months of publication

Slide 14

At the state level: Illinois Illinois Open Access to Articles Act (SB 1900) Passed both chambers of the IL legislature Awaiting governors signature Requires that Illinois state universities and colleges develop an open access to research articles policy within 1 year of the bills passage Direct faculty to make freely available to the public an electronic version of the authors final manuscript of original research (deposit on acceptance) Author grants to public an irrevocable, worldwide copyright license to use these manuscripts
