What is open access?
"Open access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of
most copyright and licensing restrictions."
(Suber, 2012)
OA is defined in three influential public
statements
1) The Budapest Open Access Initiative (2002)
2) The Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing (2003)
3) The Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences
and Humanities (2003)
Gold OA is when the publisher provides open
access.
The publishing process is similar to
that of traditional publishers.
Green OA is archiving in open repositories
At UiT you can archive at
munin.uit.no through CRIStin.
The university library checks what
version you can upload.
Remember to keep track of the last version of
your manuscript!
You can usually archive the post-print.
This is the last version of the
manuscript after peer review, but
before the publishers have
formatted the text and put on
their logo.
Hybrid OA is toll access (TA) journals that offer
OA against a fee
This is not recommended.
It is more expensive.
The publisher does not usally make
OA content easy to find.

List of studies and results to date:
“….from 250% to 580% increase”Comparing the impact of open access (OA) vs non-OA articles in the same journals. Harnad S & Brody T (2004). D-Lib Magazine, 10(6), June.
The advantages of OA are well documented
POLITICAL SCIENCE: “OA publication results in a clear citation advantage”
LAW: “Across all data, OA articles accrued 49% more citations per year than non-OA articles”
CIVIL ENGINEERING: “OA articles formed 22% of the sample but received 29% of total citations to the sample”
NATURAL SCIENCE/BIOLOGY: “…a citation increase of 8% is found for the full data set”
ECONOMICS: “OA articles have on average a 307.9% higher citation count than non-OA articles”
MEDICINE/CHEMISTRY/BIOLOGY: “there was an approximately two-fold increase in citations for OA journals”

Myth: It is more expensive to publish
Fact: Both TA and OA publishers often require an article processing fee of
varying size. There are OA publishers that demand lower fees than a
number of TA journals, and there are OA publishers that demand no fees.
Myth: You have less rights.
Fact: When publishing TA, you transfer all rights to your work to the
publisher. OA let you retain some rights, like making copies of your work.
Fact: We distinguish between gratis OA – no price barriers
and libre OA – fewer permission barriers.
Fact: Authors have the right to be properly acknowlegded and cited.
Fact: OA makes it easier to detect plagiarism.
Myth: OA publishers lack peer review and have
lower quality
Fact: Many OA publishers have peer review, and have a publishing process
similar to that of well established and well recognized traditional publishers.
Fact: Quality may be hard to measure, and high impact factor does not
always imply high quality. There are however ways to find good OA
publishers.
