OA at the Wellcome Trust: policy
All research papers – funded in whole or in part by the Wellcome Trust – must be made freely accessible from the PubMed Central and UKPMC repositories as soon as possible, and in any event within six months of the journal publisher’s official date of final publication
![Page 4: Improving compliance with the OA mandate: a work-in-progress report from the Wellcome Trust Berlin 7 meeting, Paris 2 nd - 4 th December 2009 Robert Kiley,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f325503460f94c4f051/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
How can Wellcome researchers comply with OA mandate?• Route 1
Publish in a open access/hybrid journal if available – preferred route (and often the only route)
• Route 2 If Route 1 is not available, self-archive the author manuscript (including
changes from peer review process) and make that available from PMC & UKPMC within 6 months of publication
• If a publisher offers neither route then: Author can suggest revision to the journal’s copyright agreement –
boilerplate language provided on our website – and see if the publisher will accept this
Look for an alternative publisher

Wellcome Trust: compliance with mandate• Around 43% of Trust-funded research papers are available in UKPMC
within 6 months of publication but…95% of journals used by Wellcome-funded authors have a “Wellcome-
compliant” publishing option.

Improving compliance with mandate: Actor 1: Funders
![Page 7: Improving compliance with the OA mandate: a work-in-progress report from the Wellcome Trust Berlin 7 meeting, Paris 2 nd - 4 th December 2009 Robert Kiley,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f325503460f94c4f051/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Improving compliance with mandate – role of Funders• Funders must be explicit about how researchers and institutions can
access funding for OA Develop guidance about inclusion of OA publications costs within indirect costs; include
specific line in grant application forms to include publication costs (direct costs) Or set up dedicated budget (e.g. the Wellcome approach)
• Monitor compliance & enforce sanctions Actively monitor compliance
Following letter from Wellcome to VC’s significant there was a 52% increase in author depositions
When a repeat application is successful, funding should be withheld until all previous (eligible) publications are in UKPMC
• Communication Demonstrate the benefits of OA to the researcher (as well as the research community
more generally)

Improving compliance with mandate: Actor 2: Researchers and institutions

Improving compliance with mandate: role of researchers & institutions
• Better communication Institutions to make OA a clear priority Arrangements for meeting OA fees to be effectively communicated
• Improve access to OA funds Institutions to ensure OA publishing costs are requested as direct
and indirect costs when applying for research funds Ensure there is a consistent approach to paying fees Establish dedicated budgets to meet OA costs Develop mechanism to split OA fees proportionately between
funders

Improving compliance with mandate: Actor 3: Publishers
![Page 14: Improving compliance with the OA mandate: a work-in-progress report from the Wellcome Trust Berlin 7 meeting, Paris 2 nd - 4 th December 2009 Robert Kiley,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f325503460f94c4f051/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Improving compliance with mandate – Publishers (1)
1. Clarify and standardise OA/self archiving policies
Develop a metadata standard/XML schema – using standardised nomenclature – to describe policies
Policies should be at the journal level OA options should be available to all –
not limited to specific funders Make information about OA policy
available in a consistent place – such as within the “Instructions to authors”
![Page 15: Improving compliance with the OA mandate: a work-in-progress report from the Wellcome Trust Berlin 7 meeting, Paris 2 nd - 4 th December 2009 Robert Kiley,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f325503460f94c4f051/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
..and why clarity is required
• Number of publishers still have no OA policy Sherpa estimate that 8% of publishers have no OA policy
• Nuances of policy – bewildering to the researcher No fee, no embargo – but full & immediate OA (e.g. BMJ research
papers) No fee, full OA, but 6 months embargo (e.g. Rockefeller Press) Author-side payment – fully Wellcome compliant (e.g. Elsevier, Wiley) Author side payments – NOT Wellcome compliant (e.g. BRILL) Self-archiving – must archive author version (e.g. AAAS ) Self-archiving – must archive publisher version (e.g. NEJM) Self archiving – not WT compliant (embargo too long) (e.g. ASN)

Improving compliance with mandate – Publishers (2)
2. Simplify process for authors who wish to select an OA option
Provide clear information – using animated walkthroughs, video etc. – explaining the OA process
Establish and staff an OA mailbox – [email protected]
Create and maintain FAQ Share good practice Build OA option into manuscript
submission workflow

• The average number of Wellcome Trust articles registered articles has increased from 20 (~27% of eligible articles) to 34 (~45% of eligible articles)

Improving compliance with mandate – Publishers (3)3. Make explicit the relationship between
subscription costs and uptake of OA option This will give confidence that funders and
institutions are not paying access fees twice (“double dipping”)
4. Provide tools for institutions to track status of OA articles
5. Adopt less pejorative language for OA option
“Author pays” unhelpful (and typically inaccurate)
![Page 20: Improving compliance with the OA mandate: a work-in-progress report from the Wellcome Trust Berlin 7 meeting, Paris 2 nd - 4 th December 2009 Robert Kiley,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f325503460f94c4f051/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Bottom line
• OA policies and infrastructure (e.g. UKPMC) in place Looking to offer UKPMC service to other European research funders
• Need to build on these developments and take action on improving compliance – by working with the three key actors – funders, researchers/institutions and publishers Trust working with RIN and others to developing transition models
• The full potential of OA can then begin to be realised
