What?Why?How?
What?
Self-archive (green)
OA journals (gold)
Why?
Expanded access and lower costs for academics and researchers everywhere
Expanded access and lower costs for academics and researchers everywhere
Whether at top institutions, or community colleges,
whether in Beijing or Varanasi
Giving the broader public access to our research
Are the public really interested in access? A few examples...
Wikipedia is a great academic resource - as a starting point for further research
More and more learners are turning to open courses, and need open materials
20,000+ students will be accessing OA articles as part of their course
Enabling new forms of communicating and organizing scholarly output
OA makes articles more accessible,even for those who already have access
“One of the main points behind doing threads was to bring the companion papers together with the main papers. To make it work you needed to make all of the papers open access. This could just not be done without the papers being open access.”
A paper isn’t necessarily the best “unit of organization”
Adding meaning to articles, enabling knowledge to be mapped out
Opening the scholarly process, pre-publication
How?
What can be done by...
Individual researchersInstitutions
Faculty unions and Graduate Student UnionsAcademic societies
Journal editorsProvincial governments
Funding bodies (SSHRC etc)
Support and publish in Open Access journals when possible
Try to retain copyright when publishing in toll-access journals
Spread the idea, organize as knowledge producers, in societies, etc.
Become active in organizations that support Open Access
Promote OA policies and mandates at departments and institutions
Support funder mandates and funding for OA journals
Announced today, covers NSF, Ed, EPA, NASA, USDA, HHS, Commerce, Interior, Defense, Energy, Trans, DHS, Ag, State,
Smithsonian
To develop implementation within 6 months, max 12 months embargo, covers both articles and data
Support reform of hiring, promotion and tenure policies to encourage OA
Thank you!
