The Infrastructure of Open Access: Knowing What is Open

The Lifecycle of Open Access Content

3


Open Access Content: Part of Larger Ecosystem

Educators Students

Librarians and subscribed resources

MOOC Providers

Copyright Agents

Open Sources (Open Access, HathiTrust, Creative Commons)

SchoolsInnovative, comprehensive web service to

manage and share course materials

• Transparent and accurate

• Automated and leverages technology to solve copyright frustrations

• Easy; blends into existing campus systems

• Beneficial – lower cost and increase quality of education

Publishers and

Creators

4


Open Access – What Is It?

• Open educational resources are an increasingly important initiative for schools– Cost of education– Institutional Open

Access policies

• Many different flavors – green, gold…

5


SIPX’s Context: Instructors and Students• LMS and course reserves

6


SIPX’s Context: Instructors and Students

• Online learning and MOOCs

• Continuing and distance education

7


Our Users Want to Know:

• Is it free to read?– will it always be?– if not, will it be soon?

• Can I share it with my students?– for free? if there’s a cost, what is it?– digitally or in print? share a PDF, or link out?– any additional restrictions? (only a percentage of a

work, etc.)

• Can I reuse portions in my own work, or create derivative works?

8


Is it free to read?

9


The challenge (to third parties):

10


Ways to be free:

• OA Journals• OA content in hybrid journals

– Born OA– Embargoed

• Rolling pay-walls/open back-archive• Free sponsored content• Free content types (book reviews, front matter)• Temporarily free (popular, sample, special offer, etc.)• Subscribed• Identity-based (free to regions, registered users, etc.)• Condition-based, dynamic

11


Publisher Platform Sophistication:

‘All the top-100-accessed articles about Radiation Biochemistry are free if older than 1 week, except for those by author John Smith

that were published in the last 10 years’

12


…how can third parties know something is free?

13


Publisher provides metadata.

Problems:– Vocab not standardized (‘open access’, ‘free’, ‘public

access’, ‘sponsored content’)– Not machine-readable– Error-prone (with free-text license statements)– How? In file metadata, via API

14


Publisher provides metadata (in content files).

Problems:– Just not there

• Costly to deal with back content• In publisher’s own content, but not in metadata feeds• ‘use the statement in the PDF watermark’• excludes conditional/dynamic and identity-based models

– Markup not standardized (many different formats: XML DTDs, ONIX, RDF, HTML Meta, OAI-PMH, Dublin Core)

Publisher provides metadata via API.

Problems:– All the same as providing in content, except better

handles conditional/dynamic and identity-based– Rarely supported by publisher’s platform – No standardization in APIs, third party costs– Increased risk of failure

19


Use institutional holdings files.

Problems:– Not very granular (journal-year range)– Lots of variety (not everyone uses KBART):

embargo/days_available: 90

embargo/days_not_available:1060

545 days

18 months

P90D

R6M

– ‘30 days’ may be 30 days, or 1 month

20


Publisher provides rules.(lists of OA/Free journal titles and articles)

Problems:– Handling new journals– Handling journal changes– Keeping up with new articles, syncing

21


Third party crawls sites.

Problems:– Can’t tell if it will soon be free– …or soon won’t be free– Overhead

22


…lots of opportunities…

23


Opportunities

• Assist with emerging standards

• Be part of exploring and creating a sustainable and useable model

• Support school needs and initiatives

• Strengthen school relationships

Untangling Open Access Issues in Scholarly Communication

A Man Walks into a Bar…

Greg Tananbaum, ScholarNext Consulting

SPARC: “Open Access is the free, immediate, online availability of research articles, coupled with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment.”

Open Access


FreeImmediate

Articles

Full Reuse

OSTP: “Ensure that the public can read, download, and analyze in digital form final peer reviewed manuscripts or final published documents within a timeframe that is appropriate for each type of research conducted or sponsored by the agency.”

Public Access


Free Immediate ArticlesFull Reuse

Embargo Some Reuse PenultimateFree

NIH: “Recorded factual material commonly accepted in the scientific community as necessary to validate research findings…data sharing should occur in a timely fashion. NIH expects the timely release and sharing of data to be no later than the acceptance for publication of the main findings from the final dataset…Data should be made as widely and freely available as possible.”

Open Data




Free Embargo DataSome Reuse

Michael Nielson: “The idea that scientific knowledge of all kinds should be openly shared as early as is practical in the discovery process.”

Some Reuse

Some Reuse Stuff

• Working group launched by NISO in late 2012

• Co-chaired by Cameron Neylon (PLOS), Ed Pentz (CrossRef), Greg Tananbaum (representing SPARC)

• Goal is to develop standardized set of metadata elements tying accessibility permissions to an object in a manner useful to humans and machines

NISO Open Access Metadata & Indicators: Background


• Growth of OA– Fasting growing segment of the journal market [Outsell]

• Proliferation of funder and government public access mandates– 111 worldwide as of 3/14– See http://www.biomedcentral.com/funding/funderpolicies

• Hybrid publishing options– Offered by ~250 publishers as of 3/14– See http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/PaidOA.php

Why is This Necessary?


Growth of OA + More Funder Mandates + Hybrids =

Lots of OA papers with different associated rights and responsibilities =

Confusion WRT who can do what when

Why is This Necessary?


• Readers seeking to understand what rights they have for a given article.

• Authors aiming to determine what rights they will retain and whether they are compliant with a given funder policy.

• Publishers hoping to clearly convey what its audience can and cannot do with the articles they disseminate.

• Research funders looking to promote the openness of the work they sponsor, and to verify their policies are being followed.

• Search engines, A&I databases, and other discovery services aiming to help guide their audience toward resources to which they have access and other rights.

• Academic libraries seeking to more efficiently direct their patrons to resources that are freely accessible and/or reusable.

Audience Segments


• American Chemical Society (ACS): John Ochs

• Copyright Clearance Center: Heather Reid

• Creative Commons: Timothy Vollmer

• EDItEUR: Tim Devenport

• Ex Libris, Inc.: Christine Stohn

• Indiana University Bloomington Libraries: Julie Hardesty

• International Association of STM Publishers: Eefke Smit

Who’s Involved: Working Group


• Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC): Ben Showers

• Kennisland: Paul Keller

• Reed Elsevier: Chris Shillum

• Social Science Research Network: Gregg Gordon

• The Wellcome Library: Cecy Marden

• University of Birmingham: Jill Russell

Approval of Proposal January 2013

Appointment of Working Group February 2013

Approval of Initial Work Plan March 2013

Completion of Information Gathering June-July 2013

Completion of Initial Draft November 2013

Public Comment Period January 2014

<<WE ARE HERE>>

Completion of Final Draft March 2014

Current Status and Roadmap


• <free_to_read>

• <license_ref>

NISO OAMI Recommendations


• Indicates content can be read or viewed by any user without payment or authentication

• Simple attribute of “yes” or “no”

• Optional start and end dates to accommodate embargoes, special offers, etc.

For example, the following records indicate that the content is under an one-year embargo from its date of publication on February 3, 2014. At the expiration of the embargo, it becomes freely available to all readers:

<free_to_read="no" start_date="2014-02-3” end_date=”2015-02-03"/>

<free_to_read="yes" start_date="2015-02-3”/>

<free_to_read> Tag


• Content of this tag would include a stable identifier expressed as an HTTP URI

• URI would point to license terms that are human and/or machine readable

• Multiple URIs can be listed if article exists under specific license for certain period of time and then changes

<license_ref start_date="2014-02-03">http://www.psychoceramics.org/license_v1.html</license_ref>

<license_ref start_date="2015-02-03">http://www.psychoceramics.org/open_license.html</license_ref>

The <license_ref> approach will enable community norms to develop around recognized licenses. This could be done by an organization, or a group of organizations, establishing a whitelist of recognized licenses. This gives flexibility for “openness” to be defined differently for different communities.

<license_ref> Tag


Growth of OA + More Funder Mandates + Hybrids =

Lots of OA papers with different associated rights and responsibilities =

Confusion WRT who can do what when

+

OA Metadata Indicator =

Transmittal of an article’s openness in a manner that makes discovery, tracking, readership, and (hopefully) reuse

straightforward

Benefits of Successful Implementation
