Benefits for funders and researchers
Opens new readers and uses
Assists information management
. . . but slow to reach the tipping point
• Funders have recognised:
– the benefits of OA for their work
– their position allows them to gain those benefits by
working with researchers
– released policies which need action
JULIET
• JULIET lists funding bodies policies on open
access through archiving, publication and data
exposure
A companion to RoMEO . . .
• JULIET tells you what funders require you to do
with your research . . .
• RoMEO tells you which journals will let you do it.
JULIET
• Analyses funding agency policies and research
contracts
• Summarises conditions relating to Open Access
to research outputs
• Grades policies according to the requirements
• Used by repository managers; research
managers; researchers; research support
offices; funders and publishers
• Assists compliance, workflows and policy
development
Open Access Archiving
The ideal publications
archiving policy has three
key parts:
Whether to archive: Deposit required
What to archive: The full final version
When to archive: On publication
Open Access Publishing
An Open Access Publications
policy gives, by definition,
open access
Whether to publish: Publication in Open
Access Journal or Hybrid Journal
required
Open Access Data
Open Access to Data has
diverse interpretations.
JULIET reflects identified
ideal practice:
Whether to archive: Data archiving required
When to archive: Within five years
Numbers
• NIH request had low compliance ~ 5%
– requirements imply close compliance
– need work-flows and support to build that compliance
• JULIET lists 31 funding agencies
– 25 have archiving requirements
– 7 have data requirements
• 6 of 7 RCUK have archiving requirements
• 36 of 38 Russell/1994 Group have repositories
• Tipping point in sight . . .
