Alma Swan Key Perspectives Ltd Truro, UK

 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 Key Perspectives Ltd

 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 Key Perspectives Ltd

 WHO survey (2000):  56% of research-based institutions in lower- income countries had NO current subscriptions to research journals  Nor had they for the previous 5 years  We will never close the “10/90 gap” unless we change the system  Publicly-funded research should be freely available to the ‘public’ Key Perspectives Ltd

 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 Key Perspectives Ltd

 Researchers  Institutions  National economies  Science and society Key Perspectives Ltd

 Greater impact from scientific endeavour  More rapid and more efficient progress of science  Novel information-creation using new and advanced technologies  Better assessment, better monitoring, better management of science Key Perspectives Ltd

 Open Access journals (  Open Access repositories Key Perspectives Ltd

 Prepare your paper and submit it to your journal of choice for peer review  Make any changes required as a result of the peer review process  Submit the final version to the journal  Deposit that same final version to your repository through the normal deposit procedure that applies in your institution  N.B. Your repository staff may check journal copyright conditions on your behalf, or you may do so yourself using the SHERPA RoMEO service at Key Perspectives Ltd

 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 >1400 Key Perspectives Ltd

Total at September 2009: 1422

Key Perspectives Ltd

 The means to disseminate their work, free, to the world  Secure storage (for completed work and for work- in-progress)  A location for supporting data that are unpublished  One-input-many outputs (CVs, publications)  Tool for research assessment  Personal marketing tool  The route to maximal visibility and impact for their work Key Perspectives Ltd

Range = 36%-200% (Data: Stevan Harnad and co-workers) Key Perspectives Ltd

“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.” Key Perspectives Ltd

N.B. Downloads are a good predictor of eventual citations Key Perspectives Ltd

“The mission of our University is the creation, dissemination and curation of knowledge.” Key Perspectives Ltd

 Fulfils a university’s mission to engender, encourage and disseminate scholarly work  Complete record of its intellectual effort  Permanent record of all digital output  Research management tool  Marketing tool for universities  Provides maximum Web impact for the institution Key Perspectives Ltd

Range = 36%-200% (Data: Stevan Harnad and co-workers) Key Perspectives Ltd

 Say, Open Access brings 50% more citations  Only around 15% of research is Open Access  ….. so 85% is not  University X is therefore losing 85% of the 50% increase in citations (conservative end of the range) that Open Access brings (= 42.5%) Key Perspectives Ltd

 Annual journal article output: 650 articles  Number of citations: 2750  If all had been OA, there would have been (42.5% more) 3920 citations, and ….  Since USalford invests £10m in research per annum …  …this means lost impact worth £4.25m to the university in one year Key Perspectives Ltd

Repositories… “are vital to universities’ economies and to the UK economy as a whole.” Professor J Drummond Bone Past President, Universities UK Key Perspectives Ltd

OECD “Governments would boost innovation and get a better return on their investment in publicly funded research by making research findings more widely available …. and by doing so they would maximise social returns on public investments.” OECD Report on Scientific Publishing, 2005 Key Perspectives Ltd

EU CIS studies Key Perspectives Ltd

“Institutional sources are less frequently consulted than internal or market sources; and innovative enterprises find cooperation partners more easily among suppliers or customers than in universities or public research institutes.” Key Perspectives Ltd
