Title of the Presentation | 9/10/2015 | 5Open Access Flavors at Springer | 5 A bit of context: open access in the UK Wellcome Trust has a long existing policy on open access And wants more compliance A major focus of the UK government is on innovation More access is supposed to grow the innovation The department of BIS commissions Dame Janet Finch to formulate recommendations on enhancing access in Fall 2011 The Finch committee publishes these recommendations in July 2012

Title of the Presentation | 9/10/2015 | 6Open Access Flavors at Springer | 6 The Finch committee Installled by BIS First time that all stakeholders seek common ground: Universities Funders Libraries Publishers Learned Societies Government (as an observer) Assignement: How to expand access to published research findings in the UK

Title of the Presentation | 9/10/2015 | 7Open Access Flavors at Springer | 7 The remit of the Finch committee was to focus on: How to make the peer reviewed, published outcomes of research accessible To more people Immediately Free With widest possible re-use rights Whilst avoiding pitfalls like damaging the quality of peer review, damaging the publishing industry, the quality of UK research and the role of Learned Societies

Title of the Presentation | 9/10/2015 | 8Open Access Flavors at Springer | 8 The Finch recommendations: preference for gold open access Mixed economy for the foreseeable future Policy direction should be towards gold (APC driven) access Too short embargoes could harm the existing system unnecessarily Also underlying data should be easily accessible Since gold open access is just for the UK produced articles (6% of global output) further licensing opportunities need to be considered If the recommendations are taken into account in the new Wellcome Trust and UKSG policies, the PA will recommend the member publishers to make their content available on a walk-in basis in all public libararies

Title of the Presentation | 9/10/2015 | 11Open Access Flavors at Springer | 11 What has not (yet) been arranged? collaborations with non-rcuk funded researchers confliciting policies with other funders When does the author get the funding (at what moment will the funding be reserved, on acceptance?. O submission?) How will Universities decide if funding is available? Will Universities ask for discounts on subscriptions in return? License for self archived content (RCUK seems to require CC-BY-NC) MRC 6 months embargo ETCETERA ETCETERA RCUK: It is a journey and not a single event

Title of the Presentation | 9/10/2015 | 12Open Access Flavors at Springer | 12 What’s in it for us? Springer decided to loyally work with RCUK to make the policy work Goals: To pick up as many as possible gold open access articles (and their apc’s) To get a larger article share in the UK in general To stay in the market of subscription journals while accepting the 1 year embargo Expected effects of the policy: Initially strong uptake of Springer Open Choice and established open access journals Later on more publications in open access journals Pressure on subscriptions negotiations
