A Brief Introduction to Open Access
WHAT IS OPEN ACCESS? “ Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. What makes it possible is the internet and the consent of the author or copyright-holder” http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/brief.htm OA is compatible with copyright,  peer review , print, preservation, prestige, career-advancement, indexing, and other features and supportive services associated with conventional scholarly literature AICKM Meeting. 30 th  August – 3 rd  September 2010. Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa
THAT MEANS…. OA maximises: research visibility research usage research uptake research applications research impact research productivity research progress research funding  research manageability by maximising  research accessibility AICKM Meeting. 30 th  August – 3 rd  September 2010. Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa
OPEN ACCESS TO WHAT? ESSENTIAL:   to all  2.5 million annual research articles published in all  25,000 peer-reviewed  journals (and peer-reviewed conferences) in all scholarly and scientific disciplines, worldwide OPTIONAL: (because these are not all author give-aways, written only for usage and impact): 1. Books 2. Textbooks 3. Magazine articles 4. Newspaper articles 5. Music 6. Video 7. Software 8. “Knowledge” (or because author’s choice to self-archive can only be encouraged, not required in all cases): 9. Data 10. Unrefereed Preprints Slides for Promoting OA Mandates and Metrics AICKM Meeting. 30 th  August – 3 rd  September 2010. Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa
rising price of scientific journals Barriers for the access to information the impact factor in the scientific community is negatively influenced
OPEN ACCESS: WHY? Accessing articles universally and freely Maximizing the impact and access to research Improving and enhancing the scientific progress Contributing to the prestige / maintenance of Universities and Research Centers Retain the copyright of the authors of their own intellectual work Consequently… Readers / scientists can be more effective Libraries can meet all the needs of their user Society does not lose information (scientific heritage) Authors get the recognition that they wish AICKM Meeting. 30 th  August – 3 rd  September 2010.

Two ways to provide  Open Access
Green OA Self-Archiving Authors self-archive the articles they publish in peer-reviewed journals Gold OA Publishing Authors publish in OA journals (some still recovering costs through institutional subscriptions, others through author/institutional publication charges)  TWO WAYS The Green way  is for  researchers to deposit  all their published journal  articles in their own  institution's Open Access  Repository. Green  Open Access  depends only  on the research community AICKM Meeting. 30 th  August – 3 rd  September 2010. Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa
Refereed “Post-Print” Accepted, Certified, Published by Journal Impact cycle begins: Research is done Researchers write  pre-refereeing  “ Pre-Print” Submitted to Journal Pre-Print reviewed by Peer Experts – “Peer-Review” Pre-Print revised by article’s Authors Researchers can access the Post-Print if their university has a subscription to the Journal 12-18 Months Por Tim Brody Slides for Promoting OA Mandates and Metrics New impact cycles:   New research builds on existing research
New impact cycles :  New research builds on existing research Researchers can access the Post-Print  if their university has a subscription to the Journal Refereed “Post-Print” Accepted, Certified, Published by Journal Impact cycle begins : Research is done Researchers write  pre-refereeing  “ Pre-Print” Submitted to Journal Pre-Print reviewed by Peer Experts – “Peer-Review” Pre-Print revised by article’s Authors 12-18 Months Por Tim Brody Slides for Promoting OA Mandates and Metrics Pre-Print  is self-archived in University’s Eprint Archive Post-Print  is self-archived in University’s Eprint Archive New impact cycles: Self-archived research impact is greater (and faster) because access is maximized (and accelerated)
THE GOLD ROAD To publish articles in an open-access journal whenever a suitable one exists What is an open access journal? Copyright retained by the author Use a funding model that does not charge readers or their institutions for access  not charge subscriptions or fees for online access Instead, they look to other sources to fund peer-review and publication (e.g., publication charges). Critical issue : being economically sustainable AICKM Meeting. 30 th  August – 3 rd  September 2010. Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa
OA JOURNAL BUSINESS MODELS (1)  1.  Advertising to advertise on the journal's web site or article pages in order to generate income to help support the journal 2.  Endowments to build an endowment and use the annual interest to cover its expenses 3.  Fund-raising to solicit donations, periodically or continuously. 4.  Hybrid OA journals to publish some OA articles and some non-OA articles, when the choice between the two is the author's rather than the editor's.  5.  Institutional subsidies to subsidize an OA journal, in whole or part, directly or indirectly AICKM Meeting. 30 th  August – 3 rd  September 2010. Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa
OA JOURNAL BUSINESS MODELS (2)  6.  Membership dues to use membership dues to support an OA journal, in whole or part 7.  Priced editions to provide OA to one edition and sell access to another edition. The OA edition should contain the full text and other information (charts, illustrations, etc.), but the priced edition may appear earlier in time or include extra features, such as print. 8.  Publication fees to charge a fee upon acceptance of an article for publication 9.  Submission fees  to charge a fee for evaluating a submitted paper, whether or not the paper is later accepted 10.  Volunteer effort to use unpaid volunteers for some of the work in producing the journal Source:  http://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/OA_journal_business_models
THE GREEN ROAD Self-archiving   To self-archive is to deposit a digital document in a publicly accessible website, preferably a repository. Depositing involves a simple web interface where the depositor copies/pastes in the "metadata"  (date, author-name, title, journal-name, etc.) and then attaches the full-text document.  It is a supplement to, not a substitute for Scientific publication. Repositories A repository is a collection of digital documents. A repository is not just a catalogue: it must store full text documents + preservation + durability  Authors  don’t publish  in a repository!  Open Access Archiving is an  ‘ access’ matter,  not a ‘publication’ matter. AICKM Meeting. 30 th  August – 3 rd  September 2010. Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa
OPEN ARCHIVES INITIATIVE (OAI) In 1999 the OAI was launched, parallel to the Open Access Movement What is OAI? Develops and promoted interoperability solutions that aims to facilitate the efficient dissemination of content Provides the technical means to support  the Open Access Movement What is OAI-PMH? OAI protocol for metadata harvesting A way for an archive to share it's metadata with harvesters which will offer searches across the data of many OAI-Compliant Archives. AICKM Meeting. 30 th  August – 3 rd  September 2010. Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa
TWO LEVELS OF PARTICIPATION Data provider administer system that support the OAI protocol as a means of exposing metadata about the content.  A document repository can become a data provider Service provider harvest using OAI-PMH requests to data providers and uses the metadata as a basis for building value-added services Examples: OAIster or AGRIS Database What does “Open” mean? “ open” from the architectural perspective – defining and promoting machine interfaces that facilitate the availability of content from a variety of providers (FAQ - OAI, 1999) AICKM Meeting. 30 th  August – 3 rd  September 2010. Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa
REGISTRIES OF DATA AND SERVICE PROVIDERS OpenDOAR Registry of Open Access Repositories (1714) http://www.opendoar.org/   OAI registered data and service providers OAI conforming repositories (1314)  http://www.openarchives.org/Register/BrowseSites Service providers (34)  http://www.openarchives.org/service/listproviders.html CIARD Ring Registry of Open Access Repositories in Agriculture (33) http://ring.ciard.net/ AICKM Meeting. 30 th  August – 3 rd  September 2010. Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa
Tools for the implementation of data providers
FUNCTIONALITIES To capture and describe digital material using a workflow To provide an interface to deposit/upload documents in online repositories of documents To preserve documents To expose metadata via OAI-PMH By Default: unqualified DC But strongly recommended the use of other metadata standards AICKM Meeting. 30 th  August – 3 rd  September 2010. Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa
EXAMPLE OF WORKFLOW AICKM Meeting. 30 th  August – 3 rd  September 2010. Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa
Only metadata management and one or more than one link to digital documents Runs also with limited computing power (in some cases) No management of document flow Used by librarians Manages full text and metadata Easy upload of full texts by authors Large and active user community (OS) Strong preservation policy Ready to be used Document repository software Traditional catalogues
SOFTWARE AgriOcean DSpace AICKM Meeting. 30 th  August – 3 rd  September 2010. Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa

Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa
COPYRIGHT HOLDER Copyright gives the copyright holder (usually the creator), certain exclusive rights for a period of time: To reproduce the work To prepare derivate works To distribute copies for sale To perform AV workds publicy To display musical and artistic works publicy To prevents othersfrom using the works without authorization (Justin, 2009) AICKM Meeting. 30 th  August – 3 rd  September 2010. Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa
WHO OWNS THE COPYRIGHT? The person authoring the work generally owns the copyright In some case, the employer owns the copyright Copyright ownership may be transferred, e.g. Author to publisher (Justin, 2009) AICKM Meeting. 30 th  August – 3 rd  September 2010. Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa
SHERPA/ROMEO RoMEO is a searchable database of publisher policies on the self- archiving of journal articles on the web and in Open Access repositories. Each entry provides a summary of the publisher's policy, including what version of an article can be deposited, where it can be deposited, and any conditions that are attached to that deposit. AICKM Meeting. 30 th  August – 3 rd  September 2010. Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa

You let the others distribute derivative works only under a license identical to the license that governs the original work. AICKM Meeting. 30 th  August – 3 rd  September 2010. Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa
COMBINATION OF LICENSES The mixture of these conditions produces sixteen possible combinations, of which eleven are valid Creative Commons licenses and five are not.  Of the five invalid combinations, four include both the "nd" and "sa" clauses, which are mutually exclusive; and one includes none of the clauses.  Of the eleven valid licenses, the five that lack the "by" clause have been phased out because 98% of licensors requested Attribution, though they do remain available for reference on the website.

    THE GREEN ROADSelf-archiving To self-archive is to deposit a digital document in a publicly accessible website, preferably a repository. Depositing involves a simple web interface where the depositor copies/pastes in the "metadata"  (date, author-name, title, journal-name, etc.) and then attaches the full-text document.  It is a supplement to, not a substitute for Scientific publication. Repositories A repository is a collection of digital documents. A repository is not just a catalogue: it must store full text documents + preservation + durability Authors don’t publish in a repository! Open Access Archiving is an ‘ access’ matter, not a ‘publication’ matter. AICKM Meeting. 30 th August – 3 rd September 2010. Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa

    OPEN ARCHIVES INITIATIVE(OAI) In 1999 the OAI was launched, parallel to the Open Access Movement What is OAI? Develops and promoted interoperability solutions that aims to facilitate the efficient dissemination of content Provides the technical means to support the Open Access Movement What is OAI-PMH? OAI protocol for metadata harvesting A way for an archive to share it's metadata with harvesters which will offer searches across the data of many OAI-Compliant Archives.

    TWO LEVELS OFPARTICIPATION Data provider administer system that support the OAI protocol as a means of exposing metadata about the content. A document repository can become a data provider Service provider harvest using OAI-PMH requests to data providers and uses the metadata as a basis for building value-added services Examples: OAIster or AGRIS Database What does “Open” mean? “ open” from the architectural perspective – defining and promoting machine interfaces that facilitate the availability of content from a variety of providers (FAQ - OAI, 1999) AICKM Meeting. 30 th August – 3 rd September 2010.

Editor's Notes

  • #14 This is the Limited Access and Limited Research Impact Cycle as it was in the paper era, and still is todaym in the online era: Within a 12-18 month cycle, the research is written up as the pre-refereeing preprint. The preprin t is submitted to a refereed journal for peer review. The preprint is revised in accordance with the referees’ feedback. The final, accepted draft, the postprint is published. If the would-be user’s university has toll-access, they access it. Some of these accesses lthen ead to use and citation in a new research cycle
  • #15 To maximise research access, supplement the existing system: Do as before, but also: Self-archive the preprint in your university’s Eprint Archive, so every would-be user can access it. Self-archive the postprint in your university’s Eprint Archive, so every would-be user can access it. Research access is maximized and so research impact is maximized.
