What

‣ When researchers make publicly available copies of preprints and postprints

• On their personal website

• On a university repository

• On a public repository

What


• On their personal website

• On a university repository

• On a public repository

‣ Also known as green Open Access [4]

Self-archiving

21

What


‣ Also known as green Open Access

‣ Is it allowed?

Self-archiving

22

What


‣ Is it allowed?

• Most of the time

• Granted in Copyright Transfer Agreements of most publishers

• ACM, IEEE, INFORMS, Elsevier, ME Sharpe, Palgrave Macmillan, Springer Verlag, John Wiley and Sons [4]

WhatCopyright Transfer Agreement

24

WhatCopyright Transfer Agreement and self-archiving

‣ 8. Electronic Preprints. Before submitting [..], authors frequently post their manuscripts to their own web site, their employer’s site, or to another server that invites constructive comment from colleagues. [..]

‣ Upon publication of an article [..], the author must replace any previously posted electronic versions of the article with either

• the full citation to the IEEE work with a [..] link to the article abstract in IEEE Xplore, or

• the accepted version only [the postprint!] (not the IEEE-published version), including the IEEE copyright notice and full citation, with a link to the final, published article in IEEE Xplore

Why self-archiving?

‣ Allowed by ~90% of scientific publishers, achieved by ~15% of papers

‣ As a “community service”

• Every time you hit a paywall, think about how easily it can be avoided

A WIN-WIN Game

29

Why self-archiving?



‣ As an advantage for your research

• Significantly wider audience – including Industry [6]

Where / How to self-archive

‣ Not all Copyright Transfer Agreements are that clear

• Was it clear?

• Is there a clever, faster way to understand?

‣ Unless you understand CC licenses, ALWAYS select the arXiv.org license

‣ Never Public Domain. http://r6.ca/blog/20110930T012533Z.html

‣ Transparency. Use the comments field

• Number pages, figures

• Based on another publication

• Sentences/links that the publisher wants, i.e., “The final publication is available at link.springer.com”

‣ Do not flood it

arXiv - Hints

48


49


‣ How to prevent people to cite the arXiv version?

• It should never happen

- Why would you cite a preprint instead of the peer-reviewed version?

- Google Scholar can merge the citations

- There is still nothing wrong with it

• Guide the readers. Use the comments and the paper itself

When to self-archive

‣ Whenever you want

‣ Even before considering submission

• “Establish a precedent”

• Request comments

‣ Keep the eprint updated

‣ Check http://rchive.it and the Copyright Transfer Agreement

Submitting to a journal

http://rchive.it/

54

When to self-archive

‣ After acceptance

‣ After proceedings publication

‣ Why not before?

• Some conference organizers demand no prior publication of the work

Final Remarks

Self-archiving

‣ Is a WIN-WIN game

• Wider access to literature for EVERYONE

• More citations for the authors

• Easy and fast to perform

57

Final Remarks

Self-archiving

‣ Permitted by most publishers

‣ Tools exist to help

• http://rchive.it

• http://arXiv.org

http://rchive.it/

http://arxiv.org/

58

Final Remarks

Self-archiving

‣ For journal articles

• always, if permitted

‣ For conference articles

• only after acceptance / publication, if permitted

59

Final Remarks

‣ No. But..

‣ ..watch the repository license carefully

• General non-exclusive license to distribute is fine

• Creative Commons are powerful

Can it harm?

60

Final Remarks

‣ Creative Commons should be widely understood before using them

- CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 (attribution, noncommercial, sharealike) is interesting and a must for Open Access journals

- Traditional journals may not like it

- CC Public Domain Declaration may kill the paper

- Especially for conference proceedings

Can it harm?

61

Is that all?

‣ We can talk about

‣ Open Access

• Green, Gold, and Hybrid

‣ Open Data

‣ Publishing research outputs (see http://figshare.com)

‣ Making software citable (see http://openresearchsoftware.metajnl.com )

‣ Publishing negative research

‣ Creative Commons Licenses

‣ [email protected]

‣ http://task3.cc

Absolutely not!
