To  make  physicists  appreciate    Open  Access  (Gold)    

one  must  consider  all  aspects    of  the  scien:fic  publica:on  process  

Page 6: Open Access Gold of research work:  A scientific view from a physicist by Bart Van Tiggelen

Scien5fic    Publica5ons  ….  •  ..are  necessary  to  disseminate  new  scien;fic  results    

 («  business  card  »  for  a  researcher  ).  

•  ..  Guarantee  a  minimum  level  of  scien;fic  quality    (thanks  to  well  organized  peer  review)  

 •  ..are  cited  (or  not...  )  by    the  peers.                    #  cita;ons  =  scien;fic  quality  ?    •  ..make  all  the  difference  for  the  career  of  a  scien;st    

 (promo;on,  financial  support,..  )      •  Cost  money  ,  that  should  be  financed  by  any  research  grant/budget  

 How  much    money  is  spent  for  scien;fic  publica;ons  ?  

Page 7: Open Access Gold of research work:  A scientific view from a physicist by Bart Van Tiggelen

The  scien5st  wants….  •  ..an  easy  access,  large  exposure,  for  a  long  ;me  ,  of  his  publica;ons.  

•  ..a  professional,  efficient  and  rapid  publica;on  process  

•  ..an  indexa;on  in  the  databases  used  by  evalua;on  commi?ees  (ISI).    

•  ..a  direct  involvement  (of  his  scien;fic  community)  in  the  editorial  policy.  

•  ..the  right  price  to  publish  in  and/or  to  have  access  to  his  favorite  journals.  

•  ..  «  pres;ge  »      (=  publica;on  in  a  journal  with  high  rejec;on  rate).                    Vicious  circle:  pres;ge  is  rewarded  by  research  organiza;ons  who  

 struggle  with  excessive  publica;on  costs.    

Page 8: Open Access Gold of research work:  A scientific view from a physicist by Bart Van Tiggelen

The  tradi5onal  model….  •  Subscrip:on  based  model:    

 -­‐  Access  sold  by    publisher.      -­‐  Scien;fic  organiza;ons  subscribe  to  access.      -­‐  Publica;on  is  for  free.  

•  Scien;fic  editors  set  up  a  peer  review  system  and  deal  with  the  paper  and/or  on-­‐line  version,  and  organize  the  sale.  

•  Several  editors  are  completely  integrated  into  learned  socie:es,  with  large  benefits.    

•  Authors  transfer  the  copyright  to  the  publisher.      

•  «  Preprints  »    are  deposited  before  publica;on  by  the  authors  at  open-­‐access  repositories.  

Page 9: Open Access Gold of research work:  A scientific view from a physicist by Bart Van Tiggelen

Why  change?    •  Internet  paper  version    à  on-­‐line,  worldwide  access  in  4  clics;    

       journals  have  become  service  providers    •  The    open  archives  :  no  quality  check,  no  database  link.  

•  Subscrip;on-­‐based  journals  are  not  openly  accessible.        à  Berlin  declara;on      à  guidelines  of  European  Commission.  

•  Rise  of  subscrip:on  fees    à  more  submissions    (3.5  %/an),  

   à  Journals  aggressively  sold  in  big  «  packages  »                              -­‐  Elsevier–Reed    turnover  of  5  billion  €  (2000  revues):                            -­‐  The  Cost  of  Knowledge    (>  12000  signatures)                            -­‐  The  protest  of  Harvard  (3,75  millions  $  :  +/+  36  %  from  Elsevier).    à  more  pres;ge  =  more  expensive              -­‐  break  the  vicious  circle:  UCLA  (40  millions  $  budget)  protests  against  NPG.  

 •  Copyright  should  stay  with  authors

   Open  access  (OA)  is  the  prac:ce  of  providing  unrestricted  access  via  the    Internet  to  peer-­‐reviewed  scholarly  journal  ar:cles.  Crea:ve  Commons  licenses  can    be  used  to  specify  usage  rights.        Crea&ve  Commons:  Non-­‐profit  organiza;on  .      CC  licenses  allow  creators  (with  copyright)  to  communicate  which  rights  they  reserve,    and  which  rights  they  waive  for  the  benefit  of  recipients  or  other  creators.      

1.  OA  Green  :  Open  Archives/  self-­‐archiving.  2.  OA  Gold  :  author-­‐pay,  organisa;on-­‐pay,  sponsor-­‐pay  ,  consor;um-­‐pay.  3.      OA  Hybrid  (Open  Choice):  mixture  ,  on  request  of  author.  

         

So  then  go  Open  Access?

•  Big  Packages  can  no  longer  be  imposed  by  publisher  

•  Transfer  of  copyright  is  replaced  by  the  license  Crea:ve  Commons.  

•  EC  and  US  libraries  no  longer  suffer  from  the  rise    of  publica;ons  from  BRIC.  

•  Consistency  with  Berlin  Declara;on  and  EC  policy:      à  at  the  same  ;me  the  green  archives  take  again  their  role  of      pre-­‐print    server  and  should  not  disappear!  

•  Avoids  the  hybrid  model  that  gives  scien;sts  the  impression  to  pay  twice  for  the  publica;on.  

•  Regulate  the  number  of  publica;ons  per  author  

The  pro’s  of  Open  Access  Gold  

Page 18: Open Access Gold of research work:  A scientific view from a physicist by Bart Van Tiggelen

•  In  OAG:  revenues  are  propor;onal  to  number  of  publica;ons,  not  number  of  readers  Commercial  interests  may  conflict  with  scien;fic  quality.  

 à  accept  more  low  –  quality  papers  ,  make  more  money                Solu;on:  OAG  organism-­‐  or  consor;um-­‐  payed  model  

   à  reject  many  papers  and  ask  large  OA  fee    (pres;ge  problem  becomes  

bigger!)                Solu;on  :  convince  research  organiza;ons  ,  evalua;on  commi?ees        and  funding  agencies;  Huge  role  for  learned  socie;es  

•  A  rapid  transi;on  subscrip;on  à  OAG  is  difficult,  expensive.,  irreversible.        Will  OAG  be  cheaper?  In  the  long  yes,  says  UK  

 •  The  wish  to  go  OAG  is  not  uniformly  shared    à  pluri-­‐disciplinary  policy  

difficult.

The  Max  Planck  Society  is  bound  by  the  principle  of  public  access  to  the  output  of  science.  This  is  the  spirit  in  which  the  Berlin  Declara;on  was  wri?en.  I  have  called  upon  Max  Planck  authors  to  make  their  findings  available  according  to  the  Open  Access  principles  and  to  be  involved  in  the  establishment  of  a  globally  accessible  plaUorm  of  scien;fic  knowledge.”      Peter  Gruss,  President  of  the  Max  Planck  Society

•  Bri;sh  government  decides  to  go  OAG,  and  a  wellcome  trust  will  provide  financial  support  to  authors.    

•  The  transi;on  will  cost    50  M£  (62  M€).  

•  Bri;sh  publishers  produce  20%  of  the  worldwide  number  of  publica;ons  (Bri;sh  authors  5.7  %)  .  

 à  Bri;sh  ini;a;ve  will  have  a  major  impact    

 

Advice  of  the  Finch  commi6ee    on  Bri&sh  government  (June  12,  2012)    «  (…)  making  peer-­‐reviewed  journals  available  for  free  at  public  libraries  would  foster  innova&on,  drive  growth,  and  open  up  a  new  area  of  academic  discovery  »

Conclusions  1.  The  subscrip;on-­‐based  model  of  scien;fic  

publica;ons  should  be  reconsidered  in  certain  disciplines    (for  reasons  of  Internet,  packages,  restricted  access,  fees,  copyright)    

2.  Open  Access  Gold  –  especially  with  organiza;on  or  consor;um  as  «  payer  »  responds  to  many  needs  (free  access,  copyright,  emergence  of  BRIC  countries,  evalua;on  purposes)  .      

3.  The  implica;on  of  learned  socie;es  in  the  publica;on  process  is  essen;al.    

4. Le  débat  public  a  été  lancé  dans  d’autres  pays.  La  France?  Prise  de  posi:on  avec  vision  souhaitée  (recommanda:on  COMETS/CNRS).
