Open Access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. What makes it possible is the internet and the consent of the author or copyright-holder.

Slide7United Kingdom: Finch Report
Product of Working Group on Expanding Access to Published Research FindingsChaired by Dame Janet FinchJune 18, 2012; accepted by UK gov. July 16, 2012Policy direction
towards
support for ‘Gold’ open access
publishing
Intent:
Enable
more people to read & use publications arising from researchAccelerate progress towards
fully
open access
environment
Slide8Finch Report: Rebuke
House of Commons’ Business, Innovation and Skills Committee“The evidence suggests that the cost of unilaterally adopting Gold open access during a transition period are much higher than those of Green open access. At a time when the budgets of universities are under great pressure, it is unacceptable that the Government has issued an open access policy that will require considerable subsidy from research budgets.” -Adrian
Bailey,
committee chairman, Sept. 2012
Slide9White House Directive on Open Access
Memorandum: “Expanding public access to the results of federally funded research”Agencies with >$100 million in R&D expenditures must develop plans to make published results freely available w/i 1 year of publicationResearchers must account for & manage digital data from federally funded scientific researchIssued in Feb. by OSTP; plans developed by
August
Slide10Highlights
Ensure public can “read, download, and analyze in digital form final peer-reviewed manuscripts or final published documents”12-month post-publication embargo—or longer if deemed necessary by agencyStakeholder right to petition Facilitate easy public search, analysis of, and access to peer-reviewed scholarly publications directly arising from federally funded research
Slide11Highlights
Ensure full public access to metadata without charge; metadata should link to full text when possibleLong-term preservation & access to content without charge (widely available, non-proprietary standards & formats; ADA-compliant)Notify awardees & researchers of obligationsMeasure & enforce
compliance
Slide12Observations
OA—but delayed OA for at least 12 months or longer (PubMed Central-like)Copyright? Creative Commons licensing?“SHARE” resources among universities?A “CHORUS” of publishers?How will this affect grant-funded research and publication?To be continued . . .
Slide13FASTR, FASTR . . .
Fair Access to Science & Technology Research ActMandate earlier public release of taxpayer-funded researchFederal depts & agencies with research expenditures of >$100 million must make manuscripts of journal articles stemming from research funded publicly available over the internet
Slide14Highlights
Manuscripts to be preserved in a digital archive by agency or another repository (Green OA)Free public access within 6 months after published in a peer-reviewed journalSPARC: Improved access & increased impactSPARC: Manuscripts, not publishers’ PDFs (Green OA)
Slide15FASTR vs. FRPAA
Federal Research Public Access Act (FRPAA) was the predecessor to FASTR; introduced 3 times to Congress but never voted uponFASTR improvementsSuber: Burden is on federal agencies to collect and deposit research papers, not universitiesSuber: Libre OA/open licensing (removal of price and some permission barriers)

Slide18University of California System Open Access Policy
Academic Senate passed OA Policy July 24, 2013Future research articles at all 10 campuses made
available to the public at no
charge
Covers
more than 8,000 UC
faculty &
40,000 publications a year CHE: UC researchers get 8% of all US research $ & produce 2-3% of peer-reviewed scholarly articles published worldwide every year
Slide19UC System policy
Faculty grant a “nonexclusive, irrevocable, worldwide license to exercise any and all rights under copyright relating to each of his or her scholarly articles, in any medium, and to authorize others to do the same, for the purpose of making their articles widely and freely available in an open access repository”Faculty “recognize that . . . they can more easily and collectively reserve rights that might otherwise be signed away . . .
in agreements with
publishers”
Slide20UC System policy
Articles placed in OA repository (Green OA)Copyright remains with authorsWaivers/embargoes optionFaculty on 3 campuses (UCLA, UCI & UCSF) begin depositing articles on November
1, 2013
Other campuses to follow by November 2014
Slide21UC System policy: Something for everyone?
Articles or manuscripts?Research data? Images, etc.?Scholarly Kitchen: “This is publisher-influenced”CA Digital Library (CHE): “We need to work with publishers, but this is scholar-driven, not publisher-driven”
Slide22Pitt OA/Copyrights policy
“Sub-institutional” policy, meaning some schools have approved – not unlike Harvard, etc.Working toward a university-wide policyModification of the existing copyright policyAffects scholarly *articles* published by Pitt authors *after* policy is adoptedProcedure would be carried out by OSCP, creating metadata, depositing works on behalf of authors
Slide23In the news: OA “sting” operation
Bohannon, J. (2013). Who’s Afraid of Peer Review? Science 342(6154), 60-65.DOI:10.1126/science.342.6154.60Author submitted fake/poorly conceived science manuscripts to 304 OA journals, January-August 2013Submitted to OA journals found in DOAJ and
Beall’s
list of predatory OA
publishers
Slide24Results
157 journals accepted paper; 98 rejected itAuthor states that 60% of decisions to accept/reject occurred “with no sign of peer review”Of 106 journals that performed peer review, 70% accepted the paperAccepted by OA journals in developing world . . .
Slide25More results
. . . But also by OA journals published by Elsevier, Wolters Kluwer & SageGunther Eysenbach: Including Journal of International Medical Research (JIMR/Sage), ranked #1 by impact factor in its fieldRejected by Hindawi,
PLoS
One, others
Slide26Criticism
Did not submit to any non-OA (closed access) journalsNo control group/not a scientific studyMore a critique of poor-quality peer review in OA journalsPoor-quality peer review not limited to OA journalsAuthor’s own article was not peer-reviewedScience is an expensive, closed access journal
Slide27More criticism
Eysenbach, et al.: Author says he didn’t send to journals requiring author fees but survey says otherwise (inconsistent data)Spoof paper; ethically questionable studyUnfair critique of APC model“Overarching implied conclusion - that open access as a business model is flawed, or that OA journals are of generally lower quality than subscription journals, is
outrageous”
