Definition of Open Access
In using the term 'open access‘, we mean the free availability of peer-reviewed literature on
the public internet, permitting any user to
Read,
Download,
Copy,
Distribute,
Print, Search, or Link to the full texts of the articles

Driving Force Behind Open Access – Dissatisfaction at all
Levels Authors: their work is not seen by all their
peers – do not receive the recognition they desire
Readers: cannot view all research literature they need – less effective
Libraries: cannot satisfy information needs of their users

The Open Access Movement BOAI, February 2002
Berlin Declaration, October 2003, May 2004 & February 2005
Welcome Trust, October 2003
Scottish Declaration on Open Access, 2004
European University Association (EUA)
unanimously adopted the recommendations
of its Working Group on Open Access, 2008
6
Support of the Open Access by Countries
UK Parliamentary Inquiry: Science and Technology Committee, 2004
– all UK higher education institutions establish institutional repositories
U.S. Appropriations Committee, 2004– Proposal to mandate all research funded by National Institute of Health be made available through PubMed Central (OA) 6 months
after publication in peer-reviewed journal.
Canada, 2003 – CARL, the Canadian Association of Research Libraries, launched
an Institutional Repository Project in 2003. – SSHRC introduced compulsory self-archiving, 2004 Australia, 2004 – Australian Research Information Infrastructure Committee (ARIIC) Open
access Declaration, 2004
7
Support of the Open Access by Countries
Italy – 31 Italian Universities and 1 research centre) gathered in Messina, Sicily, to sign the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in Sciences and Humanities, so called Messina Declaration, 2004
Germany – In October 2003 the (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft -DFG signed the Berlin Declaration on Open Access in the Sciences and Humanities, an initiative that encourages the promotion of Open Access
Sweden – The Swedish Research Council signed the Berlin Declaration in 2005 and supports the fundamental principle that publicly funded research shall be open to all.

Two Ways of the Open Access
• Budapest Open Access Initiative <http://www.soros.org/openaccess/index.shtml>
Recommends 2 Strategies:1. Open Access Journals ("gold"):
Publish your article in a suitable open-access journal whenever one exists.
2. Self-archiving in Open Electronic Archives ("green"):
Otherwise, publish your article in a suitable toll-access journal and also self-archive it.

What is an Institutional Repository (IR)?
“A digital collection capturing and preserving the intellectual
output of a single or multi-university community.”
Raym Crow. <http://www.arl.org/sparc/IR/ir.html>
“A university-based institutional repository is a set of services that a university offers to the members of its community for the management and dissemination of digital materials created by the institution and its community members.”
Clifford Lynch. Essential infrastructure for scholarship in the digital age ARL, no. 226 (February2003): 1-7.

Institutional Repositories’ Contributions to Open Access Scholarly communication Supporting education through learning
materials Electronic publishing Managing digital collections of research
outputs on university networks Housing and preserving digital collections Enhancing university’s prestige by
collecting and making easily accessible it’s research output
11
Benefits of Institutional Repositories to Various Stakeholders
For the researcher:
Increased visibility of research output and consequently the department and the institution
Potentially increased impact of publications as an author at the institution
Provides the possibility to standardize
institutional records e.g. academic's CVs and published papers
Allows the creation of personalized publications
lists
12
Benefits of Institutional Repositories to Various Stakeholders
For the institution:
Increases visibility and prestige of an institution Repository content is readily searchable both locally and globally
A repository that contains high quality content
could be used as a 'shop window' or marketing tool to entice staff, students and funding
A repository can store other types of content that is not necessarily published, sometimes known as 'grey literature'
13
Benefits of Institutional Repositories to Various Stakeholders
For the global community:
Assists research collaboration through facilitating free exchange of scholarly information (this is enabled through the use of metadata harvesters of OAI-compliant institutional repositories)
Aids in the public understanding of research
endeavours and activities.
14
The Power of Open Access – Institutional Repositories
For 72% of papers published in the Astrophysical Journal free versions of the paper are available in repositories (mainly through ArXiv)
These 72% of papers are, on average,
cited twice as often as the remaining 28% that do not have free versions available in repositories.

Why have an IR at Khazar University?
To help the international Open Access efforts.
“The mission of disseminating knowledge is only half complete if it is not widely and readily available to society.”
(Adapted from the Berlin Declaration)<
http://www.zim.mpg.de/openaccess-berlin/berlindeclaration.html
To create a permanent record of the scholarly output of Khazar University
- No access to some scholarly works published by our own faculty
- Collections of working papers, technical reports, research reports flowing around

Why Did We Choose DSpace?Background
KU LIC started IR software evaluation in late December 2007. Some products were evaluated: Eprints, Fedora and DSpace. Decided to use DSpace in mid-June 2008. DSpace was Implemented in October,2008.
Top Reasons to use DSpace
Largest community of users and developers worldwide DSpace was developed. It has a well defined data model:
Community + Collection + Item + Metadata + Bundle + Bitstream
Well organized web-interface Metadata in Dublin core format

Self-archiving
Self-archiving serves two main purposes:
Allows authors to disseminate their
research articles for free over the internet
Helps to ensure the preservation of those articles in a rapidly evolving electronic environment.
28
To self-archive is to deposit a digital document in a publicly accessible website
Depositing involves a simple web interface
where the depositer copy/pastes in the “metadata” (date, author-name, title, journal-name, etc.) and then attaches the full-text document
Self-archiving takes only about 10 minutes
DSpace also allows for documents to be selfarchived in bulk, rather than just one by one
Many funding bodies mandate self-archiving

Ranking Web of World RepositoriesJanuary, 2011
First in Azerbaijan according to this ranking the Khazar University Institutional Repository is the only repository repository in the Caucasus and Central Asia. KUIR moved up to 892 on the list of more than 1,100 repositories evaluated.
32
Challenges Library continue to:
Provide support for university research self-archiving
Promote IR
Educate users and faculty about the IR
Showcase the IR
Find champions and partners among faculty
Seek institutional mandate and support Harvest documents
