Introduction
 WHAT?
 Repository = digital archive
 Similar to ITG Staff Publications database, but full text is free of
copyright restrictions
 International network of repositories (universities, research institutes…)
 WHY?
 Collect, preserve and disseminate research output




Improve the visibility of the Institute’s scholarly publications
Centralize its contents and metadata
Self-archive the research output and provide open access to it
Preserve digital grey literature

ITM Seminar June 10th 2009
 Background – SERIALS CRISIS
 Authors’ criteria for publishing research results
 Peer review: quality assurance
 Publish in and cite from journals with high Impact Factor
(SCI)
 Market evolution




Monopoly of commercial publishers
Increase in volume and number of titles of scientific literature
Specialization: new journals
High quality journals in demand

 Background – SERIALS CRISIS
 Remark 2
 Average annual journal price changes (2000-06) – print subscriptions
 Commercial publishers (median journal prices) :
 U.S. society-published journals (nonprofit):
 Average annual inflation rate (Belgium) for the same period:
10%
7.1%
2.1%
 Different average % change per type of access
 E.g. U.S. society-published journals (2005-06)
 Print only (avg. for 140 journals)
 Print & online combined (avg. for 110 journals):
6.9%
16.2%

 Background – SERIALS CRISIS
 OKAY, BUT:
1.Increase of journal subscription prices
2.Library budgets have not kept the same pace over the years,
while more and more face budget cuts anno 2009
 Access to scientific literature at stake?
 Hard nuts to crack: no new titles? No online
subscriptions? Cut back subscriptions in exchange for
new ones?

Background – OPEN ACCESS AS A SOLUTION?
 Open Access
 “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”
 “give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right
to be properly acknowledged and cited”

Background – OPEN ACCESS AS A SOLUTION?

Open Access Initiative

Declarations/statements of principles for institutions, governments
and authors:
Budapest (2001) Open Access to peer-reviewed research literature
Bethesda (2003) Open Access publishing
Berlin (2003)

Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities
Basic idea: no copyright or financial barriers
“research, funded by public means, is a public good and the
results should therefore be freely accessible to the public”

Endorsed by c. 500 universities, research institutions,
government councils, funding agencies, NGO’s, libraries

TropMed Central Antwerp – Full text
 Ultimate goal: 100% full text coverage
BUT:
 Practical problems: size, document type (cd-rom, book)
 Publishers’ archiving policies (AP)
 Books & chapters: mostly non-existent (exc. ITM…)
 Articles
 “Green”, “yellow”, “blue” publishers
 “White” publishers, AP unknown: self-archiving not allowed
 Depositing publisher PDF accepted by some publishers
(Some impose embargo: 6-24 months)
