Today we’ll talk about... Author Rights & Access to Scholarship – Open Access – CU Scholar – Open Data Managing the Impact of Your Research

Open Access is the free, immediate, online availability of research articles, coupled with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment. from SPARC® (Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition) Open Access

Open Access: Definitions Paths to Open Access: ●Gold OA: publishing in an open access journal ●Green OA: self-archiving versions of published articles in a repository Degrees of OA: ●Gratis: no cost for readers to access an article ●Libre: no costs and also free of certain restrictions on re- use, re-publication and re-mixing o Managed with licenses, for example: Creative Commons Hybrid journals: a subscription journal in which some of the articles are open access More information:

CU Scholar: What is it? ●CU’s institutional repository ●Makes your work more available ●Provides permanent URLs for your work o So it stays available

CU Scholar: What types of content can you upload? “...research, scholarship, and creative work being conducted at the University.” Most file types are accepted o Including sound, image and data files o Data sets should be “publishable” o For any questions, or if it’s over 2GB,

Other Profile & Tracking Services Profile & tracking ●Academia.eduAcademia.edu ●ResearchGateResearchGate ●Google Scholar ProfilesGoogle Scholar Profiles ●Figshare (secondarily)Figshare Other tracking tools ●ResearcherIDResearcherID o Thompson-Reuters

Key Characteristics Academia.edu, ResearchGate, or Google Scholar Profiles if you want a profile right now.Academia.edu ResearchGateGoogle Scholar Especially good for grad students Mendeley if you want a collaboration and citation tool, too.Mendeley VIVO & CU Scholar if you want the university to do the work and can wait for full functionality from VIVO.VIVOCU Scholar

A Process for Choosing

Figshare + CU Scholar + Google Scholar Profiles For most CU faculty, we recommend: ●Sharing data and posters with Figshare o Track views o Associate with coauthors ●Sharing papers with CU Scholar o Track downloads ●Tracking citations with Google Scholar Profiles o Includes broader variety of citations, h-index, etc.
