What is Open Access
Publishing?
5
Traditional academic
publishing is where readers
(individuals or their
institutions) have financial
subscriptions to journals in
order to read the content.
6

8
Open Access publishing
aims to make peer-
reviewed literature
available to anyone, free
of charge at the point of
access.
9
Why should I publish
Open Access?
11
Increase the reach of
your research
12
“Overall, articles published OA appear to
show a higher number of citations, though
the effect is small, and the data provided
does not allow us to control for possible
confounding effects such as the posting
of articles in repositories, the number and
location of authors, and the possibility
that authors are selecting their ‘best’
papers to publish on OA terms.
…But although the impact on citations is
small, the impact of open access
publication on HTML views and PDF
downloads is large and significant,
suggesting increased visibility for the
open access papers.”
https://www.nature.com/press_releases/ncomms-report2014.pdf
13
“[S]elf-archived articles
have a 22% higher citation
rate than articles that were
not self-archived, and that
the difference is statistically
significant.”

This paper has been downloaded over
7,000 times by users from over 90
countries and territories since deposit in
June 2017.
Making the paper Open Access in ORO
has increased downloads by 409%.
The version in ORO is not behind a
paywall – this increases the readership to
professionals and practitioners not
affiliated to a university
When institutional repositories are
indexed by Google and Google Scholar
they are great platforms to make papers
discoverable and accessible on a global
scale.

“It is very clear that
extending open
access to books is
not easy. From
licensing and
copyright to
business models
and quality, the
issues that must be
tackled are thorny
and numerous.”

Editor's Notes

  • #37 Where? Ok a repository can be an institutional repository, like our own ORO, or it might be a subject repository like arXiv or another pictured here. But what isn’t listed? - ResearchGate and academia.edu – I haven’t listed them here because Open Access policies don’t count those commercial sites as bona fide repositories. Primarily because they can’t be aggregated or harvested.
  • #47 Firstly, email – request a paper. What’s the point of open access when someone can just email me and I’ll send them a copy?
  • #48 Secondly, Academic Social Networking Sites – people use these sites in their millions and post papers they may not ought to. Like I mentioned not formally recognised as Open Access by policies – but that’s where everyone is!
  • #49 And finally, sciHub – It’s not Open Access per se – but that’s lots of people are everyone is - 200,000 requests a day to more than 64.5 million articles.
