2. Roadmap
What is Open Access? Why is it important - for the world? - for you? What’s a preprint? What are the pros and cons of preprints? A (very quick) intro to Open Science

10. Open Access – what is it?

11. Open Access: What is it? Open Access is
the free, immediate, online availability of research articles
combined with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment
so, what is OA? here is the SPARC definition – there is a US and a European SPARC and they both want to promote openness in science. open access mainly refers to research articles, and we are only talking about those here. note that you are still cited/credited with doing the work.
*SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition)

12. Open Access: What is it? Free, immediate, online availability
no paywalls
no embargo period
not only in print
Rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment
TDM; scraping
attribution to author

13. these routes are the gold route, and the green route
there are two different ways to publish open access, commonly called two routes
these routes are the gold route, and the green route

14. Gold Open Access Publish in an Open Access journal (https://doaj.org/)
Free, immediate access at the moment of publication
Copyright with authors, public license with article
Hybrid articles
hybrid article information specific to NL: can publish hybrid articles with no extra fees

15. Green Open Access
Archive the published or ‘final’ article in online repository when published
Free, immediate access to article through repository
Institutional repositories, OSF
SHERPA/RoMEO:
the basic difference between these types is whether people publish in an OA journal or a closed journal. In an OA journal the authors pay themselves to publish the paper, and in a closed journal the readers pay to read the paper.
generally, don’t only put your paper on a personal website.

16. Why is this important... for the world?

17. Why is this important? Subscription fees are huge
Harvard library 2012: $3.5 million
Max Planck Digital Library: €10 million
New Zealand top 4 universities: ~$15 million
Worldwide approx $10 billion
Actual operating costs approx $1 billion
Each article should cost around $100

18. Why is this important?
39%
“Elsevier STM publishing profits rise to 39%”

19. Why is this important? What if you aren’t a researcher? journalist
practitioner e.g. speech and language therapist
policy maker
doctor or patient
parent
interested tax payer
between contracts with no affiliation?

20. Why is this important... for you?

21. Why is this important? Open papers are seen by more people

22. Why is this important?
Increases media attention

23. Why is this important? Open papers are cited more
self archiving also true!
McKiernan et al., 2016

24. Why is this important? Faster turn around with OA journals
Typically peer review takes less time
ECRs: this is helpful for careers

25. Why is this important?
Funding mandates

26. Why is this important? Sends a message
Being open to ‘Being Open’ opens up collaborations
Read, cite, contact
Not only collaborations with supervisor

27. Misconceptions Impact factors Higher IF = better work?
Higher IF journals have more retractions & more questionable research practices
Higher IF for closed access journals?
Frontiers in Psychology: 2.32; Scientific Reports: 4.26; PLoS One: 2.81
Acta Psychologica 2.03; JEP: General: 4.42; Lingua: 0.58

28. Misconceptions Hurts your career?
Open Science job requirements e.g. LMU
Personal experience
Give away rights? What if someone takes my work?
Work is still copyright-protected
Bad peer review?
- Same reviewers for open and closed journals

29. has this changed anyone’s mind about whether they would want to make their work open?
for the better? for the worse?
did you know all this before?
did you know that self-archiving still counts as being open?
can you think of any other pros or cons that I haven’t mentioned?
Questions?

30. Preprints

31. What is a preprint?
Finished manuscript that is not peer-reviewed

32. sharing preprints: 31 archives at your disposal
Thanks to Jeroen Bosman for providing this info

33. sharing preprints: 31 archives at your disposal
Thanks to Jeroen Bosman for providing this info

34. What are the pros of a preprint?
Share information faster
Be cited faster
DOIs given
Bypass paywalls
Searchable and findable
Avoid blocking and scooping
Get feedback before submission
Shows interest in topic

35. What are the cons of a preprint?
Scooping?
Is the preprint ‘published’?
Sustainable server
Quality
not perfect after peer review
Changes after peer review
very similar (

36. Questions? are preprints a good idea?
is sharing a preprint something you would do?
who doesn’t want to share a preprint?
Questions?

37. Open science (very quickly)

38. Scientific workflow Idea & hypothesis generation Writing the paper
IMPORTANT: explain that here when say ‘data’ mean whatever is used to make inferences, not only numbers and experiments make data.
Data collection & analysis

39. Accountability Transparency Reproducibility Why is this important?
crises in psychology, medicine, biology
Reproducibility

40. Idea and hypothesis generation
Idea & hypothesis generation
Preregistration
e.g. aspredicted.org,
Open Science Framework
Open literature reviews/comments
e.g. hypothes.is, overleaf, github
Registered reports

41. Data collection & analysis
Open annotation
e.g. hypothes.is, github, jupyter notebooks, overleaf
Open data -> share your data
e.g. Figshare, OSF, zenodo
Open analysis -> share the scripts or technology used to get the data
e.g. experiment files, statistical scripts (e.g. R)

42. Writing the paper Open peer review Writing the paper e.g. PeerJ
Preprints & Open Access/Self-archiving
Finding other Open papers
e.g. OA button, Unpaywall
