The two routes to Open Access (OA)

Gold Open Access

• Fully OA journals and Hybrid OA option for subscription-based journals.

• OA content is freely available for anyone at anytime in exchange of a publication charge.

• Gold OA removes permission barriers (most copyright and license restrictions).

Green Open Access

• Deposit accepted manuscript version of the article in a repository.

• Individual self-archiving policies by publisher/journal.

• Embargo periods may apply.


Open access policies


Open access to research output is becoming mandatory

Source: http://roarmap.eprints.org/


A bit of context : open access in the UK

• Wellcome Trust has a long existing policy on open access

And wants more compliance

• A major focus of the UK government is on innovation

More access is supposed to grow the innovation

• The department of BIS commissions Dame Janet Finch to formulate recommendations on enhancing access in Fall 2011

• The Finch committee publishes these recommendations in July 2012


The Finch committee

• Installled by BIS

• First time that all stakeholders seek common ground:

• Universities

• Funders

• Libraries

• Publishers

• Learned Societies

• Government (as an observer)

Assignement:

How to expand access to published research findings in the UK


The remit of the Finch committee was to focus on:

• How to make the peer reviewed, published outcomes of research accessible

• To more people

• Immediately

• Free

• With widest possible re-use rights

Whilst avoiding pitfalls like damaging the quality of peer review, damaging the publishing industry, the quality of UK research and the role of Learned Societies


The Finch recommendations: preference for gold open access

• Mixed economy for the foreseeable future

• Policy direction should be towards gold (APC driven) access

• Too short embargoes could harm the existing system unnecessarily

• Also underlying data should be easily accessible

• Since gold open access is just for the UK produced articles (6% of global output) further licensing opportunities need to be considered

• If the recommendations are taken into account in the new Wellcome Trust and UKSG policies, the PA will recommend the member publishers to make their content available on a walk-in basis in all public libararies

The RCUK open access „decision tree“


And how is that funded?

• GBP10m for university transaction infrastruture

• Funding made available in university block grants

• For the top 30 UK research intensive universities

• Funding will grow over the next 4 years (from … in 2013 to xxxxin 2018)

• Ambition is to fund 75% of output to be gold open access in 2018

• Appr. 26,000 articles result from RCUK funded research, total needed budget for APC with avergage of GBP1700 excluding VAT is about GBP40million

• Goal is to reach 75% APC funded gold in 2018

• Making available 17m in year 1, 20m in year 2 etc.


What has not (yet) been arranged?

• collaborations with non-rcuk funded researchers

• confliciting policies with other funders

•When does the author get the funding (at what moment will the funding be reserved, on acceptance?. O submission?)

•How will Universities decide if funding is available?

•Will Universities ask for discounts on subscriptions in return?

• License for self archived content (RCUK seems to require CC-BY-NC)

•MRC 6 months embargo

•ETCETERA ETCETERA

•RCUK: It is a journey and not a single event


What’s in it for us?

Springer decided to loyally work with RCUK to make the policy work

Goals:

•To pick up as many as possible gold open access articles (and their apc’s)

•To get a larger article share in the UK in general

•To stay in the market of subscription journals while accepting the 1 year embargo

Expected effects of the policy:

•Initially strong uptake of Springer Open Choice and established open access journals

•Later on more publications in open access journals

•Pressure on subscriptions negotiations

Open access initiatives outside the UK

• United States (15% of global research output)• Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) memorandum published 22

February 2013• European Union

• Horizon 2020• Germany (7% of global research output)

• Possible amendment to copyright• Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) gold policy

• China (13% of global research output, and growing)• Some limited support for open access

• SCOAP3 (high-energy physics, global)• ‘Reconciliation process’ underway
