The Result elsevier-journal-lingua-resigns-over-high-price-lack-of-open-access/ The Right to Research Coalition was founded by students in the summer of 2009 to promote an open scholarly publishing system based on the belief that no student should be denied access to the articles they need because their institution cannot afford the often high cost of access.

Summary 1.Too expensive. 2.Barriers to research. 3.Technology enabled different models!

Who We Are The University of San Francisco — a premier Jesuit university — is a reflection of the inclusive, inspirational, innovative city that surrounds it. We provide students from all backgrounds an education that is intensely personal and intellectually demanding. For us, reason, religion, science, and spirituality are complementary. Our students see the world with a sense of awe and wonder, and with a curiosity for answers to the world’s most complex questions. Our Core Values At USF, it’s about more than giving graduates a personal advantage. It’s about inspiring them to go forth and set the world on fire, to create a more humane, just, and sustainable world.

This hurts my publisher. Brian Nosek, a professor at the University of Virginia and director of the Center for Open Science, says, “Academic publishing is the perfect business model to make a lot of money. You have the producer and consumer as the same person: the researcher. And the researcher has no idea how much anything costs.” Schmitt, Jason. “Can’t Disrupt This: Elsevier and the 25.2 Billion Dollar A Year Academic Publishing Business.” Medium Dec 22, 2015 Also, see previous slides.

Everyone who needs to read my work can find it already. “The OA advantage is greater for the more citable articles, not because of a quality bias from authors self-selecting what to make OA, but because of a quality advantage, from users self- selecting what to use and cite, freed by OA from the constraints of selective accessibility to subscribers only. It is hoped that these findings will help motivate the adoption of OA self- archiving mandates by universities, research institutions and research funders.” - Gargouri Y, Hajjem C, Larivière V, Gingras Y, Carr L, et al. (2010) Self- Selected or Mandated, Open Access Increases Citation Impact for Higher Quality Research. PLoS ONE 5(10): e doi: /journal.pone

Nobody uses this. Everyone uses Google.  The price of journal databases  Global social justice  Author rights  Preservation for long term access (Google is not an archive.)  ….What else?

Action points for faculty Negotiate your contracts with publishers Publish in open access journals Make your work available through the USF Scholarship Repository or other subject repositories Pass an open access policy at the department, college, or institutional level

How does this work? 1.We look up each published work on SHERPA/RoMEO and on publisher websites. SHERPA/RoMEO 2.If a policy can’t be found, we ask publishers for permission. 3.We upload the items that are permissible to upload. 4.We ask faculty to give us pre-print or post-print versions of their work to upload.
