Enabling Open Scholarship
Some context
Enabling Open Scholarship
Old paradigms of research dissemination
Use of proxy measures of an individual scholar’s merit is as good as it gets
The responsibility for disseminating your work rests with the publisher
The printed article is the format of record
Other scholars have time to search out what you want them to know
Enabling Open Scholarship
New paradigms of research dissemination
Rich, deep, broad metrics for measuring the contributions of individual scholars
Effective dissemination of your work is now in your hands (at last)
The digital format will be the format of record (is already in many areas)
Unless you routinely publish in Nature or Science, ‘getting it out there’ is up to you

Some figures
The value of peer review in UK: £165million per annum
The value of editor duties: £55 million per annum
The value of editorial board duties: £6 million per annum
Data: JISC, 2010; Houghton et al, 2009
Enabling Open Scholarship
Ineffective system“Access is still a major concern for researchers” (Research Information Network, UK, 2009)
WHO survey (2000)• 56% of research-based institutions in lower-income
countries had NO current subscriptions to research journals
• Nor had they for the previous 5 years• We will never close the “10/90 gap” unless we change
the system
Enabling Open Scholarship
Open AccessImmediate
Free (to use)
Free (of restrictions)
Access to the peer-reviewed literature (and data)
Not vanity publishing
Not a ‘stick anything up on the Web’ approach
Moving scholarly communication into the Web Age
Enabling Open Scholarship
Open Access – Why?
Research moves faster and more efficiently
Greater visibility and impact
Better monitoring, assessment and evaluation of research
Enables new semantic technologies (text-mining and data-mining)
Publicly-funded research should be freely available to the ‘public’
Listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)

DOAJ categories

Open Access repositoriesDigital collections
Most usually institutional
Sometimes centralised (subject-based)
Interoperable
Form a network across the world
Create a global database of openly-accessible research
Currently c1750

How to make your work Open Access through a repository
Prepare your paper and submit it to your journal of choice for peer review
Make any changes required as a result of the peer review process
Submit the final version to the journal
Deposit that same final version to your repository through the normal deposit procedure that applies in your institution
N.B. Your repository staff may check journal copyright conditions on your behalf, or you may do so yourself using the SHERPA RoMEO service at http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/
An author’s own testimony on open access visibility
“Self-archiving in the PhilSci Archive has given instant world-wide visibility to my work. As a result, I was invited to submit papers to refereed international conferences/journals and got them accepted.”

“Just last week, the General Manager of Sustainable Development from an Australian rural industry called me – based on reading one of my research papers in ePrints.
He loved what he read ..... and we are now in discussion about how we can help them measure their industry’s social impacts.”

It is one of the noblest duties of a university to advance knowledge and to diffuse it, not merely among those who can attend the daily lectures, but far and wide.
Daniel Coit Gilman First President, Johns Hopkins University
