Stimulate use of development knowlege to solve development problems
The goal of open development, …is to improve the lives of people around the world through access to information.
“We need to recognize that development knowledge is no longer the sole province of the researcher, the scholar, or the ivory tower. The aim is to open the treasure chest of the World Bank’s data and knowledge to every village health care worker, every researcher, everyone.”
Robert B. Zoellick, Former President, The World Bank Group, Georgetown University, September 2010

Open Access Policy
Creative Commons
Open Knowledge Repository
Strategic Review ofWorld Bank Publishing
or
Open Access Publishing
Why an Open Access Policy?
• To provide greater access to Bank research and knowledge outputs
• To encourage innovation allowing use and re-use (i.e., derivative works, translations, text-mining,etc.)
• To join a growing Open Access community (e.g., governments, universities, and other institutions)
• To align Bank’s Publishing with Bank’s Open Development Agenda
Policy Scope
WB OA Policy applies to manuscripts and accompanying data sets:
(a) resulting from research, analysis, and economic and sector work;
(b) which have undergone peer review or have been otherwise vetted and approved for release to the public; and
(c) for which approval for release is given on or after July 1, 2012.
1. For works published by the Bank− Available immediately in OKR
− Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY)
2. For works by Bank staff published externally (mostly journal articles)
‒ Working paper version available immediately in OKR under CC BY
‒ Final, peer-reviewed Accepted Author Manuscript (AAM), available in OKR after Publisher's embargo under CC BY NC ND (unless more liberal license is accepted)

Features
1. Optimal Discoverability: • Interoperable with other repositories• Adherence to Open Access standards (Dublin Core
metadata and OAI-PMH)• Systematic metadata curation process
2. Intuitive Interface: • Several browse options, advanced search, most viewed
content, citation information, permanent links, etc.• Built on DSpace - OA platform
3. Allows Use, Reuse and Building-on Bank’s Work: • CC BY copyright license
4. New Content: • Content published by external Publishers
FEATURE: Advanced Metrics
1 million downloads in 1 year (44% from developing countries)
Usage: Total Downloads, First Year
Interoperability & Discoverability
DSpace is limited in flexibility for metadata harvesters. Current solution: Allow filtering via facets like country and topic to create virtual sets. The resultant XML output is OAI-PMH compliant and exportable. Working on upgrade to allow mobile improved search.
Indexing in Google Scholar.
Internal pressure from WBG regions for local language searching and content
Costs $120K in development, 2011 to date (August, 2013) Contracted a Belgian developer
Hosting cost $25K/year, hosted in cloud
On-going costs approximately $30-40K
2 FTEs, 1 repository manager, a project manager and .5 FTE for marketing & social media support
Conclusions1. Still in early stages in Open Access publishing.
2. Academic publishers are rebuilding their business models: some embrace, some resist and some hide.
3. Embargo periods vary per publisher, only 1 publisher has agreed so far (Routledge, Elsevier being negotiated).
4. Open Repositories built on open software (DSpace, ePrints) increase dissemination significantly… but marketing & outreach are still important.
5. WB focused on technical innovations and building new partnerships to drive usage and discovery
