2. Open is not enough! Sustainability and Innovation in Scholarly Communication

3. Education, research and knowledge are critical for sustainable development
But our system for sharing and disseminating knowledge must also be sustainable

4. All the valuable products of research should be shared!

5. Open Access

6. International Journals 

7. Bid deals lock-ins
Slide from Stéphanie Gagnon, Université de Montréal Libraries (and thanks to Richard Dumont)

8. The participation problem
Juan Pablo Alperin:

10. Costs of Article Processing Charges
Jisc 2016

11. YES!

12. Moving from articles to research data

13. Many researchers would rather share their toothbrush than there data…

14. Lack of infrastructure and services
Domain Data Centres
These services still only support a small portion of the research datasets produced by researchers around the world!

15. Good research data management is complex and resource intensive!

16. Open Science support is like a three legged stool
Culture, Incentives and Norms
Laws, Policies and Protocols
Infrastructure and Services

17. The vast majority of open access policies are green!

18. Open Science support is like a three legged stool
Culture, Incentives and Norms
Laws, Policies and Protocols
Infrastructure and Services

19. Sustainability and good practice for open science services means working across all stakeholder organizations
Libraries/research organization (institutional repositories and local support)
Universities (incentives and policies)
National networks (moving content)
Compute facilities (storage, analysis)
Governments and and funders (policies and funding)
Researchers (to contribute and use content)

20. Regardless of the type of content, repositories are an important part of the solution

21. International update

22. International update

23. Research is global!

24. 76.5% of Nepalese authors publish with a foreign co-author!
UNESCO World Science Report, 2016

25. Australasia, Canada, China, Europe, Japan, Latin America, South Africa, United States

26. Common global vision for repositories
Adoption and improvement of networked services and technologies
Standard vocabularies and metadata and APIs
Implementation of next generation repositories

27. Open Science support is like a three legged stool
Culture, Incentives and Norms
Laws, Policies and Protocols
Infrastructure and Services

28. Timothy Gowers “perverse incentives”

29. It’s a vicious cycle
Undertake research projects that are hot topics and of global interest
Publish in English in a prestige journal
Great research evaluation because you published in an high journal with high impact factor
Enjoy fame, fortune, and fawning by colleagues and others
Receive more funding for more research

31. The current situation 
Ridiculously high costs
Lack of innovation (the journal article has essentially not changed in 300 years – despite the web)
Publication biases
Significant inequalities in access and participation
flawed quality and impact measures
Big deal lock in with publishers
Publisher consolidation across the lifecycle

32. We need solutions that will scale!

33. Leverage the network of over 3000 repositories around the world

34. But, in their current form, repositories only perpetuate the existing system

38. By Petr Knoth, CORE

39. Peer review layer
Standard usage statistics
Preservation
Social networking
Improved discovery

40. To support these services, we need to improve the functionality of repositories -To be of, not just on the web -Global interoperability (exposing content in a standardized way) -Pro-active repositories -A networked approach is crucial to avoid silos and support global, disciplinary and regional services

41. And ideally, the infrastructure should be distributed across the globe!
It can better support the needs and of diverse regions, disciplines and languages
Redundancy is a safeguard against failure
Not at risk of commercial buy-out
Places the institution/library at the centre
But, a distributed approach is more challenging in terms of a common vision, coordination and branding

42. #9: Local infrastructure that is sustainable and inclusive (Open, distributed systems, like the Internet, are more flexible, sustainable and less likely to failure or being bought out by commercial industry)

44. MIT Future of Libraries Report

45. Critical to the success of open science is working together: Across the world & across the stakeholder communities
