Benefits of Open Access

• Satisfies the requirements of research funders requiring open access publication, such as Marsden, UK Research Councils, the NIH, Wellcome Trust and many others - see SHERPA/JULIET. NZ National Science Challenges also require open data.

• Bigger impact - potential for greatly increased dissemination and citation advantage

• Ameliorates the effects of the serials crisis• More equitable impact – access is for all, not just those who

can afford journal subscriptions.• Supports technology transfer of UC research to the community

and to business

Citation advantage of OASize of OA citation advantage when found (and where explicitly stated by discipline)

Impact Story

PeerJ Arts /humanities focused ‘journal’

ISI Journal Citation Reports

What they do

• Allows comparison and evaluation of journals using citation data drawn from scholarly and technical journals. Contains data from journals in science, technology and social sciences.

Metrics

• Total Cites• Impact factors• Immediacy Index• Eigenfactor score

Limitations• Little use in arts • Ineffective for new journals

Demonstration • Access from Library Databases webpage

Bibliometrics in JCR• Total cites - the total number of times that each journal has been

cited by all journals included in the database within the current JCR year.

• Impact Factor - identifies the frequency with which an average article from a journal is cited in a particular year.

• Immediacy Index - measures how frequently the average article from a journal is cited within the same year as publication. This number is useful for evaluating journals that publish cutting-edge research.

• Eigenfactor Metrics are based on the JCR cited journal data and consider not just the counts of citations a journal receives but also the significance of the journals as a whole to measure citation influence in the scholarly literature.

SJR: Scimago Journal and Country Rank

What it does

• The SCImago Journal & Country Rank is a portal that includes the journals and country scientific indicators developed from the information contained in the Scopus® database (Elsevier B.V.). These indicators can be used to assess and analyze scientific domains.

Metrics• Total Cites• H Index• SJR indcator

Limitations • Elsevier

Demonstration • Covers 19,000 journals

SJR bibliometrics

• SJR - measures the journals impact, influence or prestige. It expresses the average number of weighted citations received in the selected year by the documents published in the journal in the three previous years

• H-Index – the journal’s number of articles (h) which have received at least h citations over the whole period

Ulrichs Web

What it does

• Contains listings of 300,000 currently published journals, newsletters, and annuals, as well as discontinued publications. It also contains complete names and addresses of journal publishers.

Limitations• Use to find Publisher, Absracting and Indexing

Mandatory deposit of research

Increase deposit rates

• Opt out rather than opt in to the UC Research Repository.

• ~12% of PBRF eligible items are currently deposited.

Already exists for theses

• Including embargos for sensitive research

Would improve efficiency

• Removes red tape (e.g. individual deposit licences)

Commitment to open access

• Ensures publicly funded research becomes publically available

• Funders (Marsden, National Health and Medical Research Council, Australian Research Council) increasingly require OA.

• OA material more widely cited
