Enabling Open Scholarship Some context

Enabling Open Scholarship Old paradigms of research dissemination Use of proxy measures of an individual scholar’s merit is as good as it gets The responsibility for disseminating your work rests with the publisher The printed article is the format of record Other scholars have time to search out what you want them to know

Enabling Open Scholarship New paradigms of research dissemination Rich, deep, broad metrics for measuring the contributions of individual scholars Effective dissemination of your work is now in your hands (at last) The digital format will be the format of record (is already in many areas) Unless you routinely publish in Nature or Science, ‘getting it out there’ is up to you

Enabling Open Scholarship Open Access Immediate Free (to use) Free (of restrictions) Access to the peer-reviewed literature (and data) Not vanity publishing Not a ‘stick anything up on the Web’ approach Moving scholarly communication into the Web Age

Enabling Open Scholarship Open Access – Why? Research moves faster and more efficiently Greater visibility and impact Better monitoring, assessment and evaluation of research Enables new semantic technologies (text-mining and data-mining) Publicly-funded research should be freely available to the ‘public’

Enabling Open Scholarship Open Access: how Open Access journals ( Open Access repositories Open Access monographs

Enabling Open Scholarship Open Access journals Content available free of charge online In many cases, free of restrictions on use too Some charge at the ‘front end’ More than half do not levy a charge at all Around 5500 of them Listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)

Enabling Open Scholarship DOAJ categories

Enabling Open Scholarship Open Access repositories Digital collections Most usually institutional Sometimes centralised (subject-based) Interoperable Form a network across the world Create a global database of openly-accessible research Currently c1750

Enabling Open Scholarship Where repositories are Total at October 2010: 1750

Enabling Open Scholarship What they contain

Enabling Open Scholarship What’s in it for authors?

Enabling Open Scholarship Author advantages from Open Access Visibility Usage Impact Personal profiling and marketing Research advantages

Enabling Open Scholarship Visibility

Enabling Open Scholarship An author’s own testimony on open access visibility “Self-archiving in the PhilSci Archive has given instant world-wide visibility to my work. As a result, I was invited to submit papers to refereed international conferences/journals and got them accepted.”

Enabling Open Scholarship Usage

Enabling Open Scholarship A well-filled repository

Enabling Open Scholarship And it gets used

Enabling Open Scholarship Professor Martin Skitmore School of Urban Design, QUT “There is no doubt in my mind that ePrints will have improved things – especially in developing countries such as Malaysia … many more access my papers who wouldn’t have thought of contacting me personally in the ‘old’ days. While this may … increase … citations, the most important thing … is that at least these people can find out more about what others have done… ”

Enabling Open Scholarship Dr Evonne Miller Senior Lecturer, Design, QUT “Just last week, the General Manager of Sustainable Development from an Australian rural industry called me – based on reading one of my research papers in ePrints. He loved what he read..... and we are now in discussion about how we can help them measure their industry’s social impacts.”

Enabling Open Scholarship It is one of the noblest duties of a university to advance knowledge and to diffuse it, not merely among those who can attend the daily lectures, but far and wide. Daniel Coit Gilman First President, Johns Hopkins University
