Open Access - from a Library perspective Susan Ashworth, University of Glasgow Library

How we explain open access to our researchers Unrestricted access (and re-use) of research outputs particularly journal articles and conference papers from publicly funded research. Gold (paid for) - article is immediately freely available. Payment of a fee or ‘Article Processing Charge’ (APC) Green ('free’) Deposit (usually accepted final version) in online repository. Usually an embargo period. University direction - go Green (‘free’) wherever possible

Institutional Repository since 2005 University Publications Policy since 2008 Requirement for deposit of electronic theses Open Access at the University of Glasgow

Other ‘Funds' for Open Access

Research Excellence Framework ‘Final peer-reviewed manuscripts must have been deposited in an institutional or subject repository on acceptance for publication’…. Within 3 months of the date of acceptance. Green open access

Open Access Service at University of Glasgow Researchers asked to the Library as soon as they are notified that an output has been accepted for publication Library then: Checks funder requirements Checks the publisher copyright policy Advises author on open access options, including licenses Pays the open access cost from RCUK or COAF funds if appropriate Deposits Accepted Final Manuscript into repository and release after embargo We MUST evidence itis in orepository – ItMAY be closed depositWe MUST evidence itis in orepository – ItMAY be closed deposit

Open Access Research Data Management Funders require that papers should also include a statement on how the underlying research materials - such as data, samples or models – can be accessed.

Open Access landscape is confusing Both Library and Publisher processes are taking some time to establish Libraries are disrupting the publisher-author relationship Organising and paying an individual APC can be very time consuming Difficulties with licensing, making sure OA actually happens Open Access – issues
