‘Old’ paradigms
Use of proxy measures of an individual scientist’s merit is as good as it gets
It is a journal’s responsibility to disseminate your work
Printed article is the format of record Other scientists have time to search out
what you want them to know

‘New’ paradigms Rich, deep, broad metrics for measuring
the contributions of individual scientists Effective dissemination of your work is
now in your hands (at last) The digital format will be the format of
record (is already in many areas) Unless you routinely publish in Nature or Science, ‘getting it out there’ is up to you

Open Access: Who benefits?
Benefits to researchers themselves Benefits to institutions Benefits to national economies Benefits to science and society

The digital era
“The potential role of electronic networks in scientific publication … goes far beyond providing searchable archives for electronic journals. The whole process of scholarly communication is undergoing a revolution comparable to the one occasioned by the invention of printing.”
Stevan Harnad, 1990

And …
Still only 15% of research is Open Access

And yet ….
Only 24% of authors have submitted an article to an Open Access journal
Only 22% have self-archived in their institutional repository

Why we should have Open Access
Greater impact from scientific endeavour More rapid and more efficient progress of
science Better assessment, better monitoring,
better management of science Novel information-creation using new and
advanced technologies

“Self-archiving in the PhilSci Archive has given instant world-wide visibility to my work. As a result, I was invited to submit papers to refereed international conferences/journals and got them accepted.”

Lost citations, lost impact
Only around 15% of research is Open Access….
….. so 85% is not ….. and we are therefore losing 85% of
the 50% increase in citations (conservative end of the range) that Open Access brings (= 42.5%)

(42.5% more) 3185 citations Since the Jordanian Government invested
$200 million in S&T in 2004/5 ….. This means lost impact worth $85 million to
