Open Access and Copyright

Open access is built upon authors retaining all or part of their rights under copyright. These rights include:– To publish/distribute work – To Reproduce/Copy– Prepare Translations or Derivative Works– To perform or display the work publicly– The ability to transfer these rights to others

Open Access and Copyright/Creative Commons Open access is built upon authors retaining

all or part of their initial rights under copyright law.

Creative Commons is an easy way to transfer rights – they allow creators to communicate which rights they reserve, and which rights they waive for the benefit of recipients or other creators.

“The FASTR act provides that access because taxpayer funded research should never be hidden behind a paywall.”

20

The Fair Access to Science and Technology Research Act (FASTR)

Current bill in Congress Requires government agencies with annual

research expenditures greater than $100 million to make electronic manuscripts of peer-reviewed journal articles based on their research freely available within six months of publication

Other Policies and Legislation

How to Support Open Access

Publish in Open Access Journals– Open Access Policies Publishing in Open

Access Journals Use Repositories

– Subject Repositories (ArXiv – Physics Archive)– IDEALS (UI Institutional Repository)

Support OA Policies

28

Open Access Journals

Scholarly journals that are available online to the reader "without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.“

Suber, Peter. "Open Access Overview". http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/overview.htm

29

Types of Open Access

“Green” Open AccessAuthors publish in any journal and then self-archive a version of the article for free public use in their institutional repository, in a central repository (such as PubMed Central), or on some other OA website.

“Gold” Open AccessAuthors publish in an open access journal that provides immediate OA to all of its articles on the publisher's website.

Hybrid Open Access Provide Gold OA only for those individual articles for which their authors (or their author's institution or funder) pay an OA publishing fee.

COAPI

COAPI (Coalition of Open Access Policy Institutions) - Currently consists of 45 colleges & universities

Although many of the members are R1 institutions but some are from small liberal arts colleges.

Provosts at all of these institutions have signed an open letter in support of FASTR.

6 Myths of Open Access

1. The only way to provide open access to peer reviewed journal articles is to publish in open access journals.

2. All or most open access journals charge publication fees (1/3 OA, ¾ NonOA)

3. Most author side fees are paid by the authors themselves. (12%)

56

6 Myths of Open Access

4. Publishing in a conventional journal closes the door on making the same work open access.

5. Open access journal or intrinsically low in quality (For sciences ISI has 1 at/near top )

6. Open access mandates infringe academic freedom. (green vs gold)
