Ljubljana
Simultaneous OA + print, 2009–
• Before OA I considered my readership about 6—the no. of specialists in my corner of the field.
• My “Rhotacism” article gets 100s: top hits from U.S., Italy, France, Turkey—Slavic-speaking countries follow (Croatia, Yugoslavia, Slovenia…)
• Why? Because phenomenon found in Germanic, Romance, Turkic languages, too.
Worldwide impact
Slavic department as early adopter: Concern 1: copyright
• You own what you write.
• You can give away your copyright: – “Author hereby assigns
all right, title and interest in the copyright of the manuscript to [name of journal]”
• Or you can retain it:– “The Author retains
ownership of all rights under copyright in the Article, and all rights not expressly granted in this Agreement”

]
Concern 2: will it hurt my tenure?• No: OA does not mean not
peer-reviewed.• OA means more visibility.

Translates to greater visibility
on Internet
Other fields have different cultures, but goals similar
• “In my field, the point is all international. In the US, almost all institutions have access to almost all of the journals where we publish. However, our field is increasingly global in nature, and so colleagues are spread around the world (I presently have collaborations in 21 countries!). Many of those colleagues, […] are based at institutions where full library subscriptions are not the norm, so access to the scientific literature is a constant challenge. We are pretty good as a community about spreading access around (i.e., sending the pdfs to one another), but the impediment is clear. The KU OA policy is one way to begin to solve this problem. For that reason I have invested time, blood, sweat, and blood pressure in it!”

Open Access
Why?
The faculty of the University of Kansas (KU) is committed to sharing the intellectual fruits of its research and scholarship as widely as possible and lowering barriers to its access. In recognition of that commitment and responsibility, the KU faculty is determined to take advantage of new technologies to increase access to its work by the citizens of Kansas and scholars, educators, and policymakers worldwide.
