A quick demo of open access in practice. Examining the increased visibility and accessibility of: ”Impact of ball milling on maize (Zea mays L.) stem structural components and on enzymatic hydrolysis of carbohydrates” authored by Sipponen, Mika Henrikki, Laakso, Simo & Baumberger, Stéphanie (2014) “[…] articles whose authors have supplemented subscription-based access to the publisher’s version by self-archiving their own final draft to make it accessible free for all on the web (“Open Access”, OA) average twice as many citations as articles in the same journal and year that have not been made OA. This “OA Impact Advantage” has been found in all fields analyzed so far - - physical, technological, biological and social sciences, and humanities (Gargouri et al. 2010, Open access in action case: green open access through Aaltodoc

Figure 5. Interaction between OA and article age. Gargouri Y, Hajjem C, Larivière V, Gingras Y, Carr L, et al. (2010) Self-Selected or Mandated, Open Access Increases Citation Impact for Higher Quality Research. PLoS ONE 5(10): e doi: /journal.pone Over and above the sum of the independent positive effects on citations of OA alone and of age alone, the size of this OA Advantage increases as articles get older. The interaction is illustrated here for the lo/hi (1–4/20+) citation range comparison (model M4) for articles that were from 3 years old (2006) to 7 years old (2002). (The comparison was made in 2009.)

Examples (I) of how much of the research output* could be self-archived into an university’s institutional repository? *= From Web of Science publication data and SHERPA/RoMEO data Note that pre-print related permissions are not counted. Only final draft (after peer-review) and final published article permissions These percentages do not apply as such for commercial e-print servers

Publishers often allow the archiving of the in relation more prepared version of the work into an university’s repository than commercial services. e.g.: Elsevier: accepted manuscript into university’s repository (after embargo), pre-print into commercial services American Physical Society: final published PDF into university’s repository, accepted manuscript into commercial services Long-term preservation and open availability guaranteed (meaning decades), sustainable openness? Copyright checks, set phrases and “please cite the original version” done by the library Funder compliant (e.g. Horizon2020) Post-employment archiving hard to do? #madeinaalto ( Why (also) university’s own repository? E.g.:

Individual articles can be submitted to Aaltodoc (see instructions: - videos on right) In the future, the you can supply your manuscripts alongside collecting of the yearly publication data into the ACRIS system. The publication information of 2016 is planned to be collected into the new system. I am interested - what to do?
