Introduction to  Open Access ASERL Summertime Summit Preconference, July 30 Molly Keener, Wake Forest University & Kevin L. Smith, Duke University Open Access:    What is it?    Where did it come from?    How is it being achieved? What do we mean by open?  Open to contribution & participation  Open & free to access  Open to use & reuse with few or no restrictions  Open to indexing & machine readable   Open access literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.      - Peter Suber Gratis vs. Libre  Gratis: You can read it for free. Anything else, you better ask permission.   Libre: With credit given, OK to text-mine, re-catalog, mirror for preservation, quote, remix, whatever.   Most OA is gratis. You get to “libre” via Creative Commons licensing, usually.     (text from Dorothea Salo)  Open Access Publishing  (aka, Gold OA)  Publication that is free & open for anyone to access on internet   Journals & books!   9972 OA journals according to Directory of Open Access Journals (as of July 24, 2013) • Journals across all disciplines • Share common features with toll access journals   Supported by variety of models • Institution / funder supported or author-supported    Generally allow authors to retain copyright or license under Creative Commons Issues & Questions  Has taken time for impact factors & reputation to build   Misconception that all OA publications levy fees to publish   Misconception that authors are paying out-of-pocket when fees are charged   Author pays model has better traction in the STM community    Open Archiving/Repositories (aka, Green OA)  Literature published through traditional channels that is made openly available through deposit in a repository or placing on web site   Institutional, departmental, or discipline based repository   Supported by a range of business models   Range of publisher policies on deposit Issues & Questions  Sustainability sometimes an issue   Participation of faculty (particularly for institutional)  Discipline based repositories often rooted in cultures used to sharing   Often include a range of material including student work, grey literature, theses and dissertations, etc.   For published literature, what can be deposited confusing (preprint, postprint, published version?)   Copyright issues murky and (often) frustrating Hybrid models  Article-level optional OA in traditional journals   Fees always charged   Fees typically higher than in full OA publications (routinely upwards of $3000)   Starting to see hybrid models in book publication Issues & Questions  Mixed business model – subscriptions and author pays on an article by article basis – uncomfortable for many   Relatively low adoption (generally around 1-2%)   What impact on subscription prices?   Many libraries with funds for faculty to publish in OA journals will not fund these articles  1991 arXiv 2000 PubMed Central 2002 Budapest CC 2003 Bethesda Berlin 2005 NIH voluntary Wellcome Trust 2006 PLoS ONE 2008 NIH required BMC sold 2012 Elsevier boycott eLife PeerJ SCOAP3 Select highlights of OA history Public Access  Generally refers to access required by a funder  Especially government funding, for which accountability to taxpayers is sought.  Private funders  UK Research Councils  National Institutes of Health  Public access deposit required in 2008 • PubMed Central • Compliance rate jumped • In 2013, enforcement became more strict • Compliance rising again New efforts on Public Access  White House directive  20+ federal agencies working on plans for requiring public access. • CHORUS v. SHARE (and PMC!)  FASTR Act in Congress  Fair Access to Science & Technology Research • (Successor of FRPAA)  Public access has become a bipartisian “bandwagon” in Congress  Institutional support -- Libraries  Help with NIH deposit process  Advise about © and publication issues  Authors’ rights addenda  COPE (Compact for Open-Access Publishing Equity)  Helps authors pay Gold OA fees  Debate about hybrid fees  Purpose is to even the incentives  Often shared funding  Memberships in OA journals, PeerJ Library support -- Repositories  Many publishers allow Green OA for final author’s manuscript.  Increases visibility, impact.  Likely that these repositories will be increasingly important • Many be used for WH Directive compliance plans • SHARE  Often part of a broader digital collections program  ETDs  Special Collections materials Institutional support for OA  Multiple offices may provide COPE funds  Advocacy efforts  Provost’s & President’s letter re. public access  Support for organizations like ARL, AAU APLGU  Institutional Open Access policies  Usually must arise from the faculty  Opt-In v. Opt-Out Institutional OA Policy (Opt-out)  Creates license to institution for repository deposit  License exists immediately, prior to any transfer of copyright  Law review analysis of Harvard policy by Eric Priest  Normal implementation in accordance with publisher policies  Waiver option is normal part of policy  Waiveable but irrevocable Attribution Sources:  ACRL Scholarly Communication Toolkit: http://scholcomm.acrl.ala.org/   Open Access Directory: http://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/Main_Page   Suber, Peter.
