Open Access is…
“Open access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.”Peter SuberSuber, Peter. Open Access. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2012.

Open Access …
• Removes barriers– Cost– Permission– Author attribution still required
• Does not remove– Peer Review– Copyright– Attribution

Open Access is…
• Not mandated on our campus, but recently passed state law requires its examination and development of a campus-wide policy
• Often a requirement for federally funded grant results

OA is proven to be effective

![Page 8: Open Access What and How in a Nutshell](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554968adb4c90595518b4bec/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
OA is already happening
• Mandated at MIT and Harvard, and endorsed by the University of California system, among numerous others.
• Recent endorsement resolution from NIU Faculty Senate
![Page 9: Open Access What and How in a Nutshell](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554968adb4c90595518b4bec/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
But what about…
• Copyright?– OA in no way abolishes or violates copyright.
• OA relies on copyright holder consent.• OA practices encourage maintaining your copyright rather than
signing over to the publisher (which is often typical in toll-access publishing).
• Peer Review?– OA does not preclude, and often incorporates the peer
review process. – There are many OA journals that are peer reviewed.
• Examples: Ethnomusicology Review (UCLA), Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Studies (Duke), Current Issues in Education (ASU), PLoS ONE
![Page 10: Open Access What and How in a Nutshell](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554968adb4c90595518b4bec/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Current Toll Model• Professors do research & submit articles to publishers.• Professors provide peer review at no cost to publisher
(supported by institution)• Professors often edit journals at no cost to publisher
(supported by institution). • Professors may sign away their copyrights to the
publisher as part of publication process. (Check your contracts!)
• Peer reviewed journals are published, sold back to libraries at a hugely hiked rate with locked down access.
![Page 11: Open Access What and How in a Nutshell](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554968adb4c90595518b4bec/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Current Toll Model
• Faculty must produce peer-reviewed research to gain tenure.
• The departmental list of peer-reviewed journals that “count” may not include or acknowledge open access (yet).
• Journal pricing has gone up 400% since the late 1980s• NIU’s Library funding for materials has been flat for
~10 years.• Thus, fewer books bought and more serials cuts.
Which makes YOUR research more difficult.
![Page 12: Open Access What and How in a Nutshell](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554968adb4c90595518b4bec/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
the Current Toll Model
• Libraries often cannot afford access to research that their own faculty produced.
• Individuals subscribing to a professional journal: usually less than ~$100.
• Institutions gaining access to the exact same journal for their campus: possibly tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars (based on campus total population).
![Page 13: Open Access What and How in a Nutshell](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554968adb4c90595518b4bec/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Less Money + New Legislation = opportunity for OA
• Open Access to Research Articles Act (Biss Bill)– Enacted August 9, 2013– Purpose
• Maximize social and economic benefits of research to the public
• Increase impact to the public • Many public institutions have
begun offering institutional repositories
• Much of the research produced at public institutions is not freely available
What has this meant for NIU?Of the $3 million acquisitions budget, $2.4 million goes to serials (80%).
Regarding Open Access Scholarly Publishing: University Senate Academic Affairs Committee Report to the Northern Illinois University Faculty Senate, April 12, 2013

Will I have to Pay for It?
• OA and costs to authors– OA, just as toll access, has
costs.– Infrastructure
– There are many different business models for covering those costs.• Examples: author fees,
subsidy/grant funding, access fees
• Most OA journals do not charge author fees. See Chart. No Fee 70%
Fee - Author Pays 4%Fee - Author Does Not Pay 26%

And growing…in multiple disciplines.

Nothing is perfect
• Like with toll-access publishing, you will need to evaluate OA journals for scholarly rigor.– A good web site to see possible predatory
journals/publishers is Jeffrey Beall’s blog– The percentages of “good” journals are about the
same in OA vs. Toll-Access journals.
![Page 17: Open Access What and How in a Nutshell](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554968adb4c90595518b4bec/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What’s in it for me?
• Higher impact factors, often. (PLoS study, 2010)
• Your work is available worldwide via multiple search methods (i.e. Google Scholar)
• More resources can be directed to funding materials that further your research, rather than buying back results from publishers.
• You maintain better control of your work by retaining your (copy)rights as an author.
![Page 18: Open Access What and How in a Nutshell](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554968adb4c90595518b4bec/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
OA has multiple levels
• There are four distinct varieties of OA– How is it delivered• Green• Gold
– How open is it• Gratis• Libre
![Page 19: Open Access What and How in a Nutshell](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554968adb4c90595518b4bec/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Varieties of OA (Delivery)
Green• OA that is delivered through
a repository.– Example: Huskie Commons– Often allowed by toll-access
“traditional” publishers in preprint, postprint, or other versions
Gold• OA that is delivered through
a journal.– Example: Ethnomusicology
Review (UCLA)
![Page 20: Open Access What and How in a Nutshell](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554968adb4c90595518b4bec/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Varieties of OA (Openness)
Gratis• Removes price barriers but
not permission barriers.• The user may do nothing
that exceeds “fair use” under U.S. copyright law.
Libre• Removes both price and
permission barriers (to a certain extent).
• The user may exceed “fair use” pursuant to the license agreement (e.g. creative commons).
![Page 21: Open Access What and How in a Nutshell](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554968adb4c90595518b4bec/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Publishers and OA
• Many publishers are offering OA options.– Even if you don’t see anything on their website,
ask. Sometimes they don’t advertise it but they do allow it.
• Publishers with OA options– Sage, Elsevier, Wiley-Blackwell, Springer, De
Gruyter, Taylor and Francis and others• OA publishing is not a zero-sum game.
![Page 22: Open Access What and How in a Nutshell](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554968adb4c90595518b4bec/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
OA at NIU
• Benefits– Gets the University’s name out there to a broader
audience.– Increases the University’s influence in academia.– With greater visibility the University can increase
student and faculty recruitment.• Huskie Commons• NIU Open Access Publishing Fund
![Page 23: Open Access What and How in a Nutshell](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554968adb4c90595518b4bec/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
NIU Open Access Publishing Fund
• Faculty and graduate students may apply.• Journal criteria– Member of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers
Association.– Listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals.– An OA journal that has an established scholarly reputation.
• Grant amounts– Up to $2000 per article per fiscal year for full OA journals.– Up to $1500 per article per fiscal year or 50% of the fee,
whichever is less, for hybrid OA journals.

Easy First Steps
1. Retain your copyrights!– READ YOUR CONTRACTS. Do not sign them if
they indicate that you are giving copyright solely to the publisher.
– Use the SPARC Copyright Addendum http://www.sparc.arl.org/resources/authors/addendum
– Inquire about creative commons licensing with your publisher.

Easy First Steps
• Publish with the most open journals you can find that still fit your T&P guidelines
• Update your T&P guidelines to include and recognize (maybe even prefer?) reputable OA journals
![Page 29: Open Access What and How in a Nutshell](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554968adb4c90595518b4bec/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Easy First Steps
• Encourage your colleagues to participate in OA as well.
• We control the relevance and scholarly merit of OA journals with our contributions to them.
