increasing amongst scholars in all disciplines

The rate of increase is rising

Here’s the problem…
Only 15% of research articles are spontaneously self-archived
The average number of postprints self-archived in institutional repositories is 297

Policies, mandates
There is a difference Both are being developed at
institutional, national and even international level
One is sometimes effective, the other always is

Third component: advocacy
Sometimes in the absence of either a policy or mandate; sometimes alongside these
Advocacy – sustained and organised
Advocacy - opportunistic

Why 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
Key Perspectives Ltd
![Page 21: Repositories overview: Policies and implementation: Alma Swan Key Perspectives Ltd Truro, UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551604c2550346cf6f8b5cfd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Mandate when?
At acceptance for publication: the author’s final version
Mandate the deposit at that point Mandate OA to full-text unless there is a
compelling reason against this If there is a compelling reason, mandate OA to
metadata Mandate opening of full-text at 6 months The publisher’s PDF can be added, or linked
to, later

Mandate what?
The author’s final version In the native format Because text-mining and data-
mining tools need to work on OA articles
They work best on XML
Key Perspectives Ltd
![Page 23: Repositories overview: Policies and implementation: Alma Swan Key Perspectives Ltd Truro, UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551604c2550346cf6f8b5cfd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What about PDF?
John Wilbanks (Science Commons):
“Scraping is the right word, because having to work with PDF is really scraping the
bottom of the barrel.”Key Perspectives Ltd
![Page 24: Repositories overview: Policies and implementation: Alma Swan Key Perspectives Ltd Truro, UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551604c2550346cf6f8b5cfd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What about PDF?
Clifford Lynch (CNI):
“PDF is evil”
Key Perspectives Ltd
![Page 25: Repositories overview: Policies and implementation: Alma Swan Key Perspectives Ltd Truro, UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551604c2550346cf6f8b5cfd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
What about PDF?
Peter Murray-Rust (Cambridge):
“Getting to XML from PDF is like starting with the burger and trying to get back to the cow.”

Summary
Policies nice but largely ineffectual Mandates work and so increasing Deposit at acceptance:
Open metadata immediately Open full-text later if necessary
Deposit author’s final version; add published version later if desired
