OSCThe OSC has 3 primary responsibilities
1. Meeting funder requirements for Open Access and Research Data Management
2. External outreach focus:– Within the University– Throughout the UK– Internationally (at conferences & workshops)
3. Ensuring the library & research community is up to speed on scholarly communication matters

What are the obstacles, annoyances and hazards for institutions in making their research output
openly accessible?
A question

Academic independence is sacred at Cambridge

The open access requirements of the different funders are a dog’s breakfast

Some publishers really are not helping

• Publishers making life difficult– Press embargoes – a threat from the shadows

• Payment for hybrid open access– Cambridge expenditure on APCs in 2014

OSC Hybrid APCs are very expensive
• The average APC levied by hybrid journals is 64% higher than the average APC charged by a fully OA title

• The article processing charges for hybrid Open Access were ‘significantly more expensive’ than fully OA journals, ‘despite the fact that hybrid journals still enjoyed a revenue stream through subscriptions’

The University is doing everything it can to help researchers
What steps have we taken?
![Page 19: Working towards an Open Research future - An Institutional Perspective](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051502/58d1e5591a28ab51448b4a2d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
OSC Our solution
![Page 20: Working towards an Open Research future - An Institutional Perspective](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051502/58d1e5591a28ab51448b4a2d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
OSC We have had about 50% take-up

OSC
• Funders should:– Align their policies– Stop paying for hybrid
• Publishers should:– Stop punishing universities for doing the right thing– Make their workflows more transparent– Stop misleading researchers on licenses and other aspects of open
access– Stop bullying researchers
• The academy should:– Wake up to themselves and take an interest in this– Question how they value and reward their peers
What about other solutions?

• Funder policies are sometimes an issue eg: not reflecting disciplinary differences– Is CC-BY really a problem or are we boxing
shadows? https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=555
