Publishing strategy



Scientific publications / papers


Libraries buy access to Scientific journals in “big deals”

With full text access for some = TOLL ACCESS

Open Access


Roads to Open Access publishing

•Green Open Access

–Self archiving, parallel publishing, repositories

•Golden Open Access

–Genuine Open Access journals, Open Access publishing (payment)

•Hybrid Open Access

–Traditionelle journals who offers Open Access as supplement


Green Open Access

• Archiving / parallel publishing by use of a OAI-PMH* compatible “repository” = institutionel or subject specific archive

– I.E. ORBIT, ArXiv.org, ...

• Free for the readers/users to download from the repository

• No payment, beside the subscription we already pay

• Harvested by

*Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting

http://orbit.dtu.dk/en/


What can be archived “green Open Access” ?

• (Copyright) - makes use of the exceptions in the exclusive rights from the publishers and sometimes make use of the “addendums” to specify the authors right to retain own copyright instead of transferring all rights to the publisher

Typically one or more versions can be archived:

– Pre-prints (before peer review)

– Post-prints (after peer review)

– Publisher version (PDF)

• Look up the Publisher copyright policies & self-archiving @ SHERPA/RoMEO: http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/

Incl. delayed Green Open Access after an embargo period (6-12 months)

Golden Open Access

• Free for the reader / user

• Author pays – often for publishing

• Copyright: Stays with the author - Creative Commons CC-BY

• Directory of Open Access Journals: www.doaj.org

Business models:

• Article-processing charges

• Institutional memberships

• Societies – indirect payments

• Local arrangements, adverticing, or other indirect costs?

An Example

Hybrid Open Access

• Free for the reader / user

• Author pays – often for publishing

• Copyright: Stays with the author - Creative Commons CC-BY

• These articles are a part of a “toll access journal subscription”

Business models:

• Article Processing Charges (APC)

• Institutional memberships

The risk for double dipping


= discount in APC


OA – and demands, mandates, Policy

• Two types:

– Institutional – (University, Faculty and Institutes ) i.e. Harvard, ETH, MIT, as well as DTU, Aalborg, CBS, etc.

– Claims from Funding bodies i.e. EU (ERC, FP7, H2020), RCUK, NIH, Welcome Trust, etc., and since June 2012 the 5 Danish Funding agencies:

• Det Frie Forskningsråd

• Danmarks Grundforskningsfond

• Det Strategiske Forskningsråd

• Højteknologifonden

• Rådet for Teknologi og Innovation

Publishing policy at DTU, revised draft

Covers scientific literature with DTU researchers being authors (peer reviewed articles, conference papers, books series, ..)

Choose to publish in highly ranked journals within your discipline

If possible choose OA publishing

As a minimum keep the rights to deposit the final manuscript after peer review in order to meet the requirements from the funding bodies ( when Open Access is required )

Publications must be registered and archived in DTU Orbit = GREEN POLICY

With this policy DTU wants to maximize access and use of scientific research made by DTU researchers ( benefit the society )


The policy from the Danish funding bodies


In short – Danish funding bodies

• Demand for Green Open Access = parallel publishing in DTU Orbit or similar.

– The author self-archive the peer reviewed research article in a digital archive / repository ( institutional or subject specific ) with an embargo period of 6 – 12 months after publication

• Focus on quality

– The policy points out that the author should not compromise choosing the best suited scientific journal to publish

• But… it is the beneficiaries responsibility to make sure that rights are retained so that parallel publishing can be made possible in an open archive

– Meaning that the author will have to negotiate retaining this right (instead of transferring all rights to the publisher)


The EC policy

• The Commissions objective is to optimize the impact of publicly-funded scientific research, both at European level (FP7, Horizon 2020) and at Member State level.

• This is essential for Europe's ability to enhance its economic performance and improve the capacity to compete through knowledge

• Results of publicly-funded research can therefore be disseminated more broadly and faster, to the benefit of researchers, innovative industry and citizens

• Open access can also boost the visibility of European research, and in particular offer small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) access to the latest research for utilisation.


Open Access policies and EC

… wish to ensure that research funded by the EU are made available to the population at large for free.

If you are a grant recipient from ERC or from FP7 (-2013) in one of the following Research Areas:

• Energy

• Environment (including Climate Change)

• Health

• Information and Communication Technologies (Cognitive Systems, Interaction, Robotics)

• Research Infrastructures (e-infrastructures)

• Science in society

• Socio-economic sciences and the humanities

You are required to deposit your publications!


And as of 2014

With Horizon2020 the European Commission has made open access a general principle in the model grant agreement

= all beneficiaries must ensure that their publications can be found on the internet and freely available for the reader

= in practice deposit the publication i.e. the research article after review into a repository (subject or institutional) + provided bibliographic metadata, grant number, publ.date, persistent identifier…

= by use of either the GREEN or GOLDEN route

Reimbursement for Golden route ( in the project´s budget )


So to sum up some of the Library services

• Locate the right journal

– Compare with others

– Impact factor, or other journal indicators (JCR)

– Open access or not ( Sherpa/RoMEO or DTU Open Access Web)

• Get your research in DTU Orbit / the local DTU research repository

• Provide a website – www.openaccess.dtu.dk

• Provide you with vouchers, when possible

• Provide you with discounts for APCs, when possible

• Provide you with “the new stuff”

Science is social

• Science is basically social

• We “stand on the shoulders of giants”

• Research is (often) built on collaboration on several levels:

– Within the research groups

– Between different universities, organisations

– Geographical

– Cross-discipline

– From academia to industry

– From academia to society – citizens scientist


Types of social media for science

•ResearchGate

•Academia.edu

•LinkedIn

•Twitter

•Blogging

•Wikis – wikipedia

•Mendeley

•Impact Story

Article metrics

Research gate, academia.edu, …

•Networks of trust, interest

•Managing papers and other research output

•Forum for Q&A

•Closed, but free


Twitter – micro media or blogging

• There’s evidence that tweeting about your paper increases the number of citations (http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2012/04/19/blog-tweeting-papers-worth-it/)

How and what:

• Build up followers

• Use twitter at conferences

• Use twitter in the department

• Tweet about your new publication

• Tweet about the stuff you cannot put in a peer reviewed publication

• Use hashtags # to make your article more visible – don’t be afraid to make up your own

• Use twitter together with a blog – department blog with multiple authors to keep it frequently updated

• Twitter is exceptional good for reaching out to external audiences – future opportunities for collaboration!!

Tweeting an article


Blogging

• Blogging is a platform where you can communicate and discuss your research before, during and after you've published.

– When you blog, you increase the visibility of your research both within and outside academia.

– Again, you can blog about the “stuff not in the real publication” with link to the publication

• Tweeting in combination with blogging can be very strong
