4 Scenario PhD recipient publishes her first article – transfers copyright over to publisher, receives no payment PhD recipient publishes her first article – transfers copyright over to publisher, receives no payment A fellow researcher hears about the article, but his library can’t afford to subscribe to the journal A fellow researcher hears about the article, but his library can’t afford to subscribe to the journal An undergrad sees the article cited on the web, clicks on it, and gets the message Access Denied, only subscribing institutions can have access An undergrad sees the article cited on the web, clicks on it, and gets the message Access Denied, only subscribing institutions can have access Years later, the PhD is being considered for tenure. Tenure denied because her publications are not cited enough, they have not made enough of a research impact Years later, the PhD is being considered for tenure. Tenure denied because her publications are not cited enough, they have not made enough of a research impact

5 Scenario PhD decides to write a book instead. Book publishers decline to publish it because it won’t sell enough copies to academic libraries whose budgets are tied up paying for journals PhD decides to write a book instead. Book publishers decline to publish it because it won’t sell enough copies to academic libraries whose budgets are tied up paying for journals The PhD tries to put her articles up on the web to increase their impact. Her publisher threatens to sue her for violation of copyright. The PhD tries to put her articles up on the web to increase their impact. Her publisher threatens to sue her for violation of copyright.

6 Refereed “Post-Print” Accepted, Certified, Published by Journal Impact cycle begins : Research is done Researchers write pre-refereeing“Pre-Print” Submitted to Journal Pre-Print reviewed by Peer Experts – “Peer-Review” Pre-Print revised by article’s Authors Researchers can access the Post-Print if their university has a subscription to the Journal 12-18 Months New impact cycles : New research builds on existing research

7 SUNY and ScienceDirect SUNY currently spends over 5 million dollars per year for Elsevier content through ScienceDirect SUNY currently spends over 5 million dollars per year for Elsevier content through ScienceDirect Every campus has access to approximately 1,000 electronic journals because we have agreed to maintain our expenditures with inflationary increases Every campus has access to approximately 1,000 electronic journals because we have agreed to maintain our expenditures with inflationary increases We are extending the agreement for cross campus access through 2004, but we are using reserve funds to do it We are extending the agreement for cross campus access through 2004, but we are using reserve funds to do it

8 SUNY and ScienceDirect It is unlikely that we will have the funds to maintain the service in 2005 and beyond unless Elsevier is willing to allow us to reduce expenditures It is unlikely that we will have the funds to maintain the service in 2005 and beyond unless Elsevier is willing to allow us to reduce expenditures This will mean a reduction of between 400-1000 journal titles depending upon the campus This will mean a reduction of between 400-1000 journal titles depending upon the campus In general, library budgets are not keeping pace with the rate of library inflation, resulting in fewer journal subscriptions and monograph purchases, impacting research, research funding and tenure.

9 New impact cycles : New research builds on existing research Researchers can access the Post-Print if their university has a subscription to the Journal Refereed “Post-Print” Accepted, Certified, Published by Journal Impact cycle begins : Research is done Researchers write pre-refereeing“Pre-Print” Submitted to Journal Pre-Print reviewed by Peer Experts – “Peer-Review” Pre-Print revised by article’s Authors Pre-Print is self- archived in University’s Eprint Archive Post-Print is published in open- access journal or in toll-acccess journal and self-archived in University’s Eprint Archive Post-Print is published in open- access journal or in toll-acccess journal and self-archived in University’s Eprint Archive 12-18 Months New impact cycles : Self-archived research impact is greater (and faster) because access is maximized (and accelerated)

10 How do we do it? Self archive the pre-print Self archive the pre-print Look first to Open Access Journals for publishing opportunities Look first to Open Access Journals for publishing opportunities Submit the pre-print for refereeing Submit the pre-print for refereeing

11 How do we do it? At acceptance, amend the copyright transfer agreement to allow self archiving At acceptance, amend the copyright transfer agreement to allow self archiving I hereby transfer to [publisher] all rights to sell or lease the text (on-paper and on-line) of my paper (paper-title). I retain only the right to distribute it for free for scholarly/scientific purposes, in particular, the right to self- archive it publicly online on the web. I hereby transfer to [publisher] all rights to sell or lease the text (on-paper and on-line) of my paper (paper-title). I retain only the right to distribute it for free for scholarly/scientific purposes, in particular, the right to self- archive it publicly online on the web.

12 How do we do it? If the publisher accepts your proposal – archive the refereed post-print If the publisher accepts your proposal – archive the refereed post-print If not, sign the publishers transfer agreement and archive a “corrigenda” that links to the pre-print and lists the corrections/changes that should be made to conform to the post-print If not, sign the publishers transfer agreement and archive a “corrigenda” that links to the pre-print and lists the corrections/changes that should be made to conform to the post-print

13 What else needs to be done As a University – promote efforts to make research output open access. Provide the technology infrastructure to support open access institutional repositories/archives As a University – promote efforts to make research output open access. Provide the technology infrastructure to support open access institutional repositories/archives Libraries – Provide digital library support, access and maintenance for these new materials Libraries – Provide digital library support, access and maintenance for these new materials Promotion committees – promote the use of refereed open-access journals and various forms of content that can be placed in open access institutional repositories/archives Promotion committees – promote the use of refereed open-access journals and various forms of content that can be placed in open access institutional repositories/archives Publishers – become either open access or allow self archiving of post-prints. Publishers – become either open access or allow self archiving of post-prints.
