Why Open Access (OA)?

OA aims to ensure the widest possible dissemination and access to the results of

research

OA provides free, online access to research literature

–

at no costs for readers ‐

apart from internet access

–

offers a wide range of usage rights: read, download, copy, distribute, print, index etc.

–

author/s have to be properly acknowledged and cited, copyright remains with the author/s

Flavours of Open Access

OA Self‐Archiving

= Deposit of author‘s final manuscripts in digital repositories

OA Publishing

= OA journals offer immediate open access. Sometimes subscription income is replaced by publication charges (using research grants,

institutional funds etc.) Examples:

BioMed

Central‘s journals, New Journal

of Physics, Nucleic Acids Research…

Hybrid OA

Publishing = Publisher charges for OA option within its subscription journals

Example: Springer‘s Open Choice


Benefits for Researchers

Increased visibility of research output

Potentially increased number of citations and impact of publications

Faster access, speeding up research and discovery process

Usage statistics of publications –

downloads, etc.

Up to date bibliographies (CVs) and publication lists

Compliance with funding body OA policies


Open Access Policies


FP7 Open Access Pilot

Launched in August 2008, will run until the end of FP7 (2013)

Special Clause 39 (SC39), part of the Grant Agreement with the EC, requires

beneficiaries to:

“deposit

peer reviewed

research articles

or final manuscripts resulting from their FP7

projects into an online repository

and make their best efforts to ensure open access

to these articles”


Special Clause 39 (SC39)OPEN ACCESS (SPECIFIC TO THE THEMATIC AREAS "HEALTH", "ENERGY", "ENVIRONMENT

(INCLUDING CLIMATE CHANGE)", "INFORMATION & COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES"

(CHALLENGE 2), AND "SOCIOECONOMIC SCIENCES AND THE HUMANITIES",

AS WELL AS TO THE ACTIVITIES "RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURES" (E‐INFRASTRUCTURES), AND

"SCIENCE IN SOCIETY")

In addition

to Article

II.30.4, beneficiaries

shall

deposit

an electronic

copy

of the

published

version

or

the

final manuscript

accepted

for

publication

of a scientific

publication

relating

to foreground

published

before

or

after

the

final report

in an institutional

or

subject‐based

repository

at the

moment

of publication.

Beneficiaries

are

required

to make

their

best efforts

to ensure

that

this

electronic

copy

becomes

freely

and electronically

available

to anyone

through

this

repository:

• immediately

if

the

scientific

publication

is

published

"open

access", i.e. if

an electronic

version

is

also available

free

of charge

via the

publisher, or

• within

X months

of publication.

The

number

X will be

6 months

in the

thematic

areas

"Health", "Energy", "Environment

(including

Climate

Change)", Information & communication

technologies" (Challenge

2) and the

activity

"Research infrastructures" (e‐infrastructures),

and 12 months

in the

thematic

area

"Socio‐

economic

Sciences and the

Humanities" and the

activity

"Science in Society".

ERC OA GuidelinesDecember 2006 ‐

ERC

Scientific Council's Statement on Open Access:

–

fundamental importance of peer‐review

in ensuring the certification and dissemination of high‐quality scientific research

–

the importance of wide access and

efficient dissemination of research results.

December 2007 – ERC Guidelines for Open Access:

–

The ERC requires that all peer‐reviewed publications

from ERC‐ funded research projects be deposited

on publication into an

appropriate research repository where available or an institutional repository, and subsequently made Open Access within 6 months

of publication.

–

The ERC considers essential that primary data

are deposited

to the relevant databases as soon as possible, preferably immediately after

publication and in any case not later than 6 months

after the date of publication.


SC39 Projects by Work Programme (as of October 2010)

530 projects

with 120+ countries

involved

estimated

by

EC: at least 800 projects

until

end of FP7
