Launch Paul Royster, May 8, 2014

Outline 1.Who I am and why I am here 2.Institutional Repositories a. Theory and history b. Experience at UN-Lincoln 3.Your opportunity & why you should participate

Paul Royster Coordinator of Scholarly Communications, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries manager of with UNL Libraries since 2005

My history PhD, Columbia University (1984) 20+ years in scholarly publishing with: o The Library of America o Barron’s Educational Series o Yale University Press o University of Nebraska Press

Why I am here 1.Provide background on Institutional repositories 2.Encourage members of UNMC community to participate

What is an... Institutional repository From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "An Institutional Repository is an online locus for collecting, preserving, and disseminating — in digital form — the intellectual output of an institution, particularly a research institution." "For a university, this would include materials such as research journal articles, before (preprints) and after (postprints) undergoing peer review, and digital versions of theses and dissertations, but it might also include other digital assets generated by normal academic life, such as administrative documents, course notes, or learning objects."

The four main objectives for having an institutional repository are: 1.to create global visibility for an institution's scholarly research; 2.to collect content in a single location; 3.to provide open access to institutional research output by self-archiving it; 4.to store and preserve other institutional digital assets, including unpublished or otherwise easily lost ("grey") literature (e.g., theses or technical reports). From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (emphasis added)

Growth of Institutional Repositories 2,635 repositories (April 2014) 20% in North America 46% in Europe

This is a new departure for libraries Serving local patrons not by delivering content to them, but by delivering their content to the global audience.

Traditional library Acquire resources from world marketplace Deliver to local community

Mission of the IR Acquire locally developed resources Deliver to worldwide community

Features of an IR 1.Content is online 2.Content is free 3.Content is full-text 4.[Content is associated with the institution.]

Let’s talk about “Open Access” Releases your work to an audience of 1 billion Internet users worldwide. There are 3 major ways to do this:

1. Paid “Gold” Open Access Costs $1,200 to $5,000 per article Leading publishers: PLOS, BMC, Hindawi Usually attaches “Creative Commons” license Some journals offer “hybrid” model = open access within a toll access environment

2. PubMed Central NIH-funded journal articles accepted since April 7, Up to 12-month embargo, starting from paper publication date. Peer-reviewed journal articles only; i.e., no chapters, editorials, reports, gray literature PMC only gives out usage data to the publisher.

3. “Green” Archives Deposited in an open access repository, such as an institutional repository Compliant with publishers’ re-use policies More than 90% of publishers permit archiving of some version. Free, easy, & effective

Open vs. “Open” Some (hardline) Open Access advocates insist that “open” must convey rights to re-post, re- use, and re-purpose the content; i.e., that it requires a Creative Commons or similar license. IMHO: This is unnecessary and excessive, and not even desirable in most cases.

My beef with Gold and Hybrid OA: We are giving our money to the same folks who have been holding our content for ransom for the past 50 years. What if we put these resources into developing our own means of production and distribution?

Questions: 1)Does scholarly communication have to be a commercial transaction? 2)Is “open access” just a way to provide an alternate income stream for commercial publishers? =

Why have a repository - 1 It’s good for the faculty: Makes their research easily and widely available Gives them (positive) feedback and usage data

Faculty have needs that do not matter to publishers fast publication maximum dissemination feedback on reception

Current scholarly publishing … 1.high rejection rates 2.surrender of intellectual property 3.long production schedules 4.high cost of products 5.limited dissemination

Why have a repository - 2 It’s good for the library Service valued by faculty Opportunity for interaction Entry to other services and issues Proactive partnering

Why have a repository - 3 It’s good for the university Makes faculty happy Promotes institutional brand We furnished 6 million "Nebraska-branded" documents last year. (90% of them went off-campus.) Reaches target markets worldwide Relatively low-cost less than.015% of university budget, or 1/6,000

Institutional Repositories in U.S.A. Deep Blue (Michigan)84,676 items items UNL DigitalCommons70,580 items (23.4 million downloads) California e-scholarship70,467 items (20.9 million views) DASH (Harvard)17,158 items (3.1 million downloads)

Why a repository succeeds Free for the author Free for the reader Search engine discovery Widest possible dissemination Feedback information = usage reporting

Many IR’s have had an uphill struggle because of their approach. Approach #1: If you build it, they will come.

Approach #2: If you build it, and make it seem cool, they will come.

Approach #3: If you build it, and pass a resolution making it required, they will come.

Q: What to do when confronted with a difficult task? A: Make it someone else’s job. Wally’s Advice: i.e., Require the faculty to “self-archive”

Issues with self-archived materials permission violations incomplete metadata nasty files: poor scans, non-OCR'ed text, huge file sizes 300 Mb

Our Approach at UNL: Provide Services “Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and it looks like work.” — Thomas Edison

Services UNL provides: permissioning hunting and gathering scanning typesetting metadata-ing uploading & posting usage reporting promoting POD publication “Beyond Mediated Deposit”

The 2 Keys to online success 1.Make it easy 2.Give immediate gratification

Our offer to faculty: "Send us your vita or publication list, and we will do the rest!"

What’s been different: UNL vs. other repositories It’s not an IT project; it’s a publishing project.

What’s been different: UNL vs. other repositories (2) It’s a services project not servers

What’s been different: UNL vs. other repositories (3) It belongs to the faculty not to the library not to the university

Growth of Nebraska IR, People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it. George Bernard Shaw

OK, where’s the payoff ? You have made it about as easy as possible, and have amassed a large collection of content, how does that help the faculty? By giving it global distribution on an unexpectedly large scale.

July 2012 – June ,250 out of 51,480 documents were downloaded = 97.6%

Sending Downloads 23 million since million in past 12 months April ‘14 average = 28,000 /day Average article = 15 times/month to 210+ countries worldwide (25% of usage is international)

Sample that I get [rcvd 6/17/2013] Hi Paul, It is great to get these Digital Commons reports, however I notice that only 44 of my ~100 Web of Science publications are included. What do I have to do to get the rest uploaded? I would be happy to send my full publication list and/or pdfs of the missing pubs if necessary. Best regards, [ name omitted ]

Who has the most articles ? Terry Klopfenstein Animal Science 563 articles 5/5/2014 David Sellmyer Physics 368 articles 5/5/2014

Who gets the most downloads ? Robert Katz Physics (retired c. 1994; decd. 2011) 106,345 downloads in past 12 mos. (on 204 articles)

UNL DigitalCommons 57,300 articles (free access) 5,878,602 downloads (past 12 mos.) avg = 103 downloads/article/year Elsevier (2012) 7 million articles 240,000,000 downloads (annual) avg = 35 downloads/article/year So DigitalCommons (free access) articles are downloaded 3 times as frequently as Elsevier’s (toll access) articles!

Example 1 : A Master’s Thesis Study of Cellular Phone Detection Techniques Nicholas W. Scott, University of Nebraska MS Thesis, 2011 Department of Computer & Electronics Engineering 11,526 downloads in past 12 months (That’s more than 31 per day)

Example 2 : An 18-year-old article on business leadership “Relationship-Based Approach to Leadership: Development of Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Theory of Leadership over 25 Years: Applying a Multi-Level Multi-Domain Perspective,” Leadership Quarterly 6:2 (1995), pp By George B.

Question: These are all reasonably scholarly and esoteric (read: nerdy) items, so Why are they so popular ?

1. They are full-text

2. They are free.

3. They are authoritative

4. They are PDF*. *Portable document format

5. Google loves them ! UNL DigitalCommons site version of article Elsevier site version of same article (Because we get more traffic than the subscription and pay-per-view sites.)

Our “success” did not happen overnight. Roma non fuit in die aedificata. (Rome was not built in a day.)

Dear Dean Giesecke;... I have been able to make freely available on-line five book-length manuscripts that would never otherwise have been published in my lifetime, have updated two previously published books, and have also made available four of my out-of-print books and over 30 of my published papers and articles that originally often had very limited circulation. I also have been stimulated to undertake or complete some additional writing projects that I never would otherwise have finished, since I would have felt the resulting manuscripts to be unpublishable for financial or other reasons. All told, the Digital Commons has allowed me to make unusually effective use of my time since my retirement, and believe that I can still make my contributions matter and my influence felt at a national and international level. I am extremely grateful. Sincerely Paul Johnsgard Foundation Professor of Biological Sciences Emeritus [emphasis added]

"The reporting efficiency of Digital Commons is so attractive that I have begun linking the DC URLs to the article listings on our lab website. It just makes better sense to point to a single, well-maintained archive than to our local folder of online PDFs." Alan B. Bond, PhD Research Professor School of Biological Sciences

A Testimonial In my view, the Digital Commons is one of the most valuable services that the University of Nebraska provides to researchers. The Commons insures that all research publications can be readily accessed by any interested reader anywhere in the world, whether or not they have paid subscriptions to particular journals. It has a substantial web presence -- Papers on the Commons are usually among the first listings in a Google Scholar search for a researcher's name. And the Commons can make available publications that are not otherwise readily obtained, such as book chapters, limited circulation manuscripts, dissertations, conference proceedings, and publications in journals with restrictive copyright provisions. In these cases, the Digital Commons staff handle any required reformatting, and their reputation is such that they can often obtain reprint permission from publishers even when direct requests from the authors themselves might otherwise have been denied. Because files on the Commons are archived indefinitely and fully backed up, it is easy to link to them from faculty or research group websites, forming a valuable informational resource for potential graduate students and post-docs.

more … The statistical summaries provided on the Commons website are also a considerable benefit. The Commons tracks the frequency of access and downloading of all manuscripts, giving an incomparable, direct view of the level of interest in particular publications and how it has changed over time. The resulting data can be exceedingly helpful in constructing annual reports and writing performance reviews. The Commons is, in short, an essential utility for communication and dissemination of academic publications and scientific results. Faculty that fail to make use of it are unnecessarily constraining their presence on the internet and limiting international awareness of their work. ********************** Alan B. Bond, PhD Research Professor School of Biological Sciences 348 Manter Hall, UNL Lincoln, NE

My hope: That the UNMC DigitalCommons launched this term has a long and successful flight …

… and a smooth touchdown.

Good luck. And thank you.
