Lars Björnshauge10 Observations All activities count and have importance Important to involve decision makers in discussions –IPR-agreements, formats etc Everything counts and contributes to getting the – so far – small snowball rolling!

Lars Björnshauge11 Working within the university  The main problem – creating awareness!  Making researchers aware  Making university decision makers aware  The pricing issues the starting point, but rapidly moving beyond that  Workflow issues are very important

Lars Björnshauge12 Lund University - recommendations Mandatory registration of all published works in the Institutional Repository (LU:research) Authors should use the model license agreement when submitting works to publishers Authors should deposit their works in the Institutional Repository Scholarly Communications and E-Publishing Advisory Board appointed by the Vice- Chancellor

Lars Björnshauge13 Lund University Intellectual property rights agreements: –Working group with representatives from the Law Faculty, the University Legal Department, and the Library Head Office have proposed model licenses for Lund University – –Retaining the right to deposit a pre- or postprint in the Institutional Repository

As of June 15th we archived full text no. 1000

Lars Björnshauge19 Lund University Open Access policy Draft policy statement i process Decision by the University Board September 2005 Additional staff will be allocated to the library in order to implement the policy

Lars Björnshauge20 Observations Once again – all activities count and contributes to the awareness –Local and international initiatives Other developments contribute –Pressure for increased visibility –Global competition between universities –Accountability & Evaluation Workflows very important –The library as ”key stroking” unit

Lars Björnshauge21

Lars Björnshauge22 Initiated during the first Nordic Conference on Scholarly Communication in Lund/Copenhagen October 2002 Initially funded by Open Society Institute and co-funded by SPARC Project started January 2003 Service launched 12th of May 2003 with 300+ journals

Lars Björnshauge23 –A collection of peer reviewed open access journals –All disciplines – all languages –One interface –Provide search service for end- users –Provide metadata harvesting services based on OAI-protocol for libraries and other service providers

Lars Björnshauge24

Lars Björnshauge25 Aims and goals Increase visibility and access = Increased usage = Increased citation = Increased impact = Increased usage...

Lars Björnshauge26 Selection criteria Agreed upon in the beginning of the project Open Access Quality control measures, the journal must exercise peer-review or editorial quality control in order to be included in the DOAJ. Scientific or scholarly content

Lars Björnshauge27

Lars Björnshauge28 Open Access – our definition We define open access journals as journals that use a funding model that does not charge readers or their institutions for access. From the BOAI definition of "open access" we take the right of "users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles" as mandatory

Lars Björnshauge29 Number of journals listed in the DOAJ May 2003: 300 November 2003: 558 May 2004: 1097 November 2004:1345 June 2005:1601

Lars Björnshauge30 June journals 400 titles ( ) with article level metadata Numbers growing 150+ suggestions for new journals to be included per month

Lars Björnshauge31 So far … Global visibility and dissemination of records –Integrated in OPAC´s in many, many libraries –Several service providers are linking into DOAJ –Integrated in the services of aggregators (Ullrichs, Ebsco, OVID etc.) Frequently referred to as the most important listing

Lars Björnshauge40 Use of the DOAJ service Every month visits from 150+ countries Requested files increasing Distinct host served increasing Amount of data transferred increasing Visits from OAI-harvesters increasing Number of abstracts presented increasing Number of links to articles followed increasing

Lars Björnshauge42

Lars Björnshauge43

Lars Björnshauge44 But still: Lots of work to do: –150+ suggestions for ”new” journals every month –Assisting publishers in creating and delivering OAI-compliant article level metadata –Still many ideas for improvements

Lars Björnshauge45

Lars Björnshauge46 Where do we go from here? Make journals aware of advantages in having OAI-compliant article level metadata Personalization – MyDOAJ OA Articles from Hybrid Journals ?? Secure long term funding: –Donations program to be considered

Lars Björnshauge47 Promoting OA-material in Library & Information Services The problem: –conventional subscription based material flows seamlessly into library services –supported by publishers, subscriptions agents, aggregators etc. –how to expose Open Access material to users??

Lars Björnshauge48 The bundling strategy The bundling strategy – is the strategy of the commercial ”big deal” publishers)  In terms of access and usage bundling means: 1.One database 2.One single point of access – limited to the content of one publisher 3.Visibility for low usage (low quality?) journals

Lars Björnshauge49 An integration strategy An integration strategy – is a strategy for libraries Integration means: 1.One database 2.One single point of access – independent of publishers 3.Visibility for smaller, not-for-profit publishers And 4.Visibility for Institutional or Subject based Repositories and Open Access journals
