Open Access distribution model Dale Peters

Strategies for Multimedia Archives, Gent, 6 February 2009

Setting the agenda

Not digital = not visible traceable, searchable and harvestable Modern research = digital libraries/repositories Who pays?

Heritage appreciation = nation building heritage ownership – who benefits?

Open Access to research literature disruptive technologies development agenda

DRIVER Midterm Review, Pisa 30 Januar 2009

DRIVER Vision

European and worldwide research output (publications and data sets ) is

openly accessible

through institutional repositories

Interoperability

ensures the automated aggregation of all scholarly research output into one virtual open knowledge base Open content enables

service providers

to provide a wide range of end-user services to researchers (search, browse, profiling, visualisation, citation, impact metrics…) API’s enable the linking and interaction of

enhanced publications

with any type of digital data and objects (e.g. articles with primary data, video, language recordings, learning courses, digital artefacts etc.) 4

Open Access

Simple concept “…we mean its

free availability

on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other

lawful purpose

, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The

only constraint

on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give

authors control

over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited." Budapest Open Access Initiative

Open Access

Simple concept - complex model Access - visibility, searchability Technical skills - harvesting and infrastructure Business contracts Research quality assurance Authenticity Reliable archiving - long term preservation E-Science and e-learning Diversity within and between user groups

The OA picture

Actors authors -> research results publishers -> that are peer reviewed -> quality controlled national libraries -> well preserved OAI repositories -> internet distributed institutions -> for free reuse ‘copyrighters‘ -> with attribution -> knowledge -> permanent access -> prompt access -> no access barriers -> no plagiarism Acknowledgement Leo Waaijers, Disciple of Eve

Repository implementations

Limited to peer reviewed scholarly publications – green & gold routes

Gold and Green

o Authors retain copyrights o Institutes, funders or projects pay publication fees o Immediate open access to published article o ~15% of the journals o Publisher holds copyrights o Institutes pay for subscription or licence fees o Delayed access to author manuscripts o ~65% of the journals

Repository implementations

Limited to peer reviewed scholarly publications – green & gold routes Open to all academic outputs – teaching, learning and research

Fine print of OA model

Community

standards

, rather than copyright law, will continue to provide the mechanism for enforcement of proper attribution and responsible use - as they do now. Repositories should be

interconnected

(institutional, national, academic disciplines) and standardised for

interoperability,

to be

search

engine friendly.

Access to content

No longer about ownership of collections Starting point of a value chain – reuse, mash ups Redefining information services Identifying user communities Public Professional & Commercial Research & Education

Researchers create cyber-environments —secure, easy-to-use interfaces to instruments, data, computing systems, networks, applications, analysis and visualization tools, and services.
