Why Open Access Week?

International Open Access Week is an annual scholarly communication event focusing on open access and related topics. It is an opportunity for the academic and research community to continue to learn about the potential benefits of Open Access, to share what they’ve learned with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation in helping to make open access a new norm in scholarship and research. Open Access Week 2014 theme to be “Generation Open”.

What is Open Access?

Unrestricted, online access to a scholarly publication that is free to read (gratis), OA literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. We could call it “barrier-free” access.

The author(s) and copyright holder(s) grant(s) to all users a free, irrevocable, worldwide, perpetual right of access to, and a license to copy, use, distribute, transmit and display the work publicly and to make and distribute derivative works, in any digital medium for any responsible purpose, subject to proper attribution of authorship, as well as the right to make small numbers of printed copies for their personal use.

Definition

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

- Peter Suber

Models of Open Access Publishing

Gold Open Access

Publication of a scholarly article in an open access journal, usually peer-reviewed, and financed through article publication charges.

Green Open Access

The archiving of a scholarly publication for public access in a repository other than that of the publisher, e.g., an institutional repository (IR) or discipline-related repository service.

2

Hybrid Journal

Journal where some articles are available in open access, while other content is subscription- based. (E.g. BMJ)

Mandate (Open Access)

A requirement by an institution, funding agency, or government body that published research outcomes be made available in some type of open access (green or gold). Mandates may dictate additional requirements regarding acceptable reuse licensing.

Embargo Open Access

A requirement by the publisher of record where in a green repository (Archive Policy) deposit must be delayed for some period following the official publication.

Institutional Repository (IR) Open Access

A database of content that contains, among other things, copies of the research output of authors. Repositories can be institution-based, subject-based, funder-based or national. Repositories can hold published or unpublished articles, presentations, datasets, and/or metadata about them.

Article Publication Charge (APC)

A fee paid to the publisher—usually by the author, author’s institution, or funding agency— to make an article available in open access. Essentially shifts the cost of production from the subscriber to the author.

What can be made available under Open Access?

There are serious, practical, successful campaigns to provide many kinds of content useful to scholars which includes;

Peer-reviewed research articles

Un refereed preprints destined to be peer-reviewed research articles

Theses and Dissertations

Research data

Government data source code conference presentations (texts, slides, audio, video) scholarly monographs textbooks novels, stories, plays, and poetry newspapers

Archival records and manuscripts images (artworks, photographs, diagrams, maps) teaching and learning materials (“open education resources” and “open courseware”)

Digitized print works (some in the public domain, some still under copyright)

What Faculty Can Do to Promote Open Access?

Submit your research articles to OA journals, when there are appropriate OA journals in your field.

Deposit your preprints in an open-access.

Deposit your post- prints in an open-access repository.

3

Deposit your data files in an OA archive along with the articles built on them.

Educate the next generation of scientists and scholars about OA.
