Scholarly Communications
“…the creation, transformation, dissemination
and preservation of knowledge related to teaching, research and scholarly endeavors….Among the many scholarly communications issues include author rights, the economics of scholarly resources, new models of publishing including open access, institutional repositories, rights and access to federally funded research, and preservation of intellectual assets.”
(Bernard Becker Medical Library, 2008)
Open Access (OA)
“… digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.” (Suber, 2012, p. 4)
“Flavors” of Open Access Gold: provide immediate open access, peer
reviewed; authors retain copyright Green: self-archiving; not necessarily peer
reviewed Hybrid: some open access Delayed: embargo period
Some Questions about OA Publishing? How much OA publishing is there at my
institution?
In what OA journals are my faculty publishing?
In what disciplines is the OA publishing occurring?
