Publications

Published 701 papers in 2012

Expect to publish

~1600

papers in

2013, of which ~500 will be OA

In 2012, the 16 Nature Research Journals published ~2100 papers

53% biology

33% physics

11% chemistry

3% earth and environmental sciencesSlide8

OA uptake rate

In 2012, 41% of authors chose OA

In 2013, 31%

of authors chose

OA

OA uptake rate varies by subject

In 2013:

39% of biologists chose OA

34% of physicists chose OA

23% of earth scientists chose OA

22% of chemists chose OASlide9

Licenses

We started to offer CC BY in April, 2013

Since then, ~25% of OA authors have chosen CC BY

The uptake of CC BY-NC-ND has not changed; it looks as though some of the CC BY-NC-SA authors have moved to CC BY

35% of authors choose the most restrictive license

OASPA membership

NPG

does not qualify for membership

of OASPA because

we offer

SA and ND

licenses on all our OA journals.

However, 75

% of

our authors choose these licenses.Should publishing companies dictate license terms to authors?Slide10

1 July 2012 – 7 Nov 2012

We started to offer CC-BY on July 1

Published ~230 papers

Order of the license on the form was:

SA

ND

BY

Were more authors choosing ND because it was the middle option?

An aside: license choice

(Scientific Reports)

June 2011 – July 2012

Published 618 papers

72% were CC-BY-NC-SA

28% were CC-BY-NC-ND

Next 3 weeks

Changed the order on the form to:ND

SABY36 authors chose a license in the following 3 week period:Slide11

Metrics

Web traffic

5.5m page views in 2012

7

.2m page views in Jan to Aug 2013

Impact factor

The 2012 impact factor is 10.015

~150 journals (out of 8500) have an IF >10Slide12

Unanswered questions

Are open access articles cited more than subscription articles?

Does this vary by subject area?

Are open access articles viewed more than subscription articles?

Is there a correlation between page views and citations?

We are looking for a statistician to independently analyse this data set. Recommendations welcome.Slide13

NPG does not “double dip”

Nature Publishing Group has published its hybrid journal site license pricing policy.

Under

this policy, any price adjustments for 2014

(for example) are

based on the

year-on-year change in subscription

content published in 2011 and 2012.

For example

In 2011 Journal X publishes 100 subscription papers

In 2012 Journal X starts to offer OA as hybrid option

In 2012 Journal X publishes 80 subscription papers and 20 OA papers

Therefore the price in 2014 would decrease by 20%

However, at the request of our librarian panel, the price will not change unless the % change (either up or down) is >10%
