Outline of presentation

1. Introduction

2. Update on Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)

3. Integration of OA-material in digital library services – the case of the Electronic Library Information Aggregator (ELIN@)

4. Working with issues of scholarly communication – at the local and the national level


DOAJ

• Background

• Phase 1 – title level service

• Phase 2 – article level service

• Impact, usage, feedback

• Future – further development, sustainability, funding


Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)

• http://www.doaj.org/– A collection of peer reviewed open access

journals– All disciplines – all languages– One interface

http://www.doaj.org/




Aims and goals

Increase visibility and access

= Increased usage

= Increased citation

= Increased impact

= Increased usage...


Selection criteria

• Agreed upon in the beginning of the project

• Open Access• Quality control measures, the journal must exercise

peer-review or editorial quality control to be included.

• Scientific or scholarly content


Open Access – our definition

We define open access journals as journals that use a funding model that does not charge readers

or their institutions for access. From the BOAI definition of "open access" we take

the right of "users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles" as mandatory for a journal to be

included in the directory.


Number of journals

• May 2003: 300

• November 2003: 558

• May 2004: 1097

• September 2004: 1231

• November 2004: 1345


November 2004

• 1345+ journals• 330 titles (61.000) with article level

metadata• Article level metadata for OAI-harvesting

available • Numbers growing


So far …

• Global visibility and dissemination of records– Integrated in OPAC´s in many, many

libraries– Several service providers are linking into

DOAJ– Integrated in the services of aggregators

(Ullrichs, Ebsco etc.)

• Frequently referred to as the most important listing


But still:

• Lots of work to do

• 100+ suggestions for ”new” journals every month

• Assisting publishers in creating and delivering OAI-compliant article level metadata

• Many ideas for improvements


Some statements from librarians


“Since the beginning of this program, Lund University has provided encouragement to

faculty and librarians throughout the globe in providing secure and comprehensive access to important journals that are freely available world

wide. DOAJ has demonstrated the growing importance of alternatives to large scale

commercial publishing.”

Frances Groen, Trenholme Director of Libraries, McGill University, Canada.


The Directory of Open Access Journals is of paramount importance for the open access

movement. The site demonstrates the viability of new approaches in scientific publishing and its strong growth is a source of inspiration and encouragement to all who are working at an

opener access to the results of academic research. Numerous reports and important policy statements use the site as a point of

reference.

Leo Waijers, Library Director, University of Wanegen, Netherlands


Where do we go from here?

• Network of editors

• Make journals aware of possibilities

• Personalization – MyDOAJ

• Hybrid Journals

• Sponsorship programme


Integration of OA-material in Library & Information Services

• The problem: – conventional subscription based material

flows seamlessly into library services– supported by publishers, subscriptionsagents,

aggregators etc.– how to expose Open Access material to

users??


The bundling strategy

Bundling: the strategy of the commercial ”big deal” publishers)

In terms of access and usage bundling means:1. One database2. One single point of access – limited to the content

of one publisher3. Visibility for low usage (low quality?) journals


An integration strategy

Integration means:1. One database

2. One single point of access – independent of publishers

3. Visibility for smaller, not-for-profit publishers

And

4. Visibility for Institutional or Subject based Repositories and Open Access journals


ELIN@ - Electronic Library Information

Navigator – a library developed interface

for the integration of information resources


ELIN@

autentification etc.Personalized servicesAdvanced administration tools for customization

and electronic resource management

International Development

Development of onsite ELIN@ in cooperation with International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications (INASP) for institutions

Facilitating easy use of digital information resources in low-bandwidth environments

• In operation at Law Faculties in 4 universities in Vietnam

• Installations underway in:– Pakistan– Uganda– Rwanda


Implementation in Vietnam, Rwanda, Uganda and Pakistan


The Open Access debate as vehicle for promoting the issues of Scholarly Communication and

Open Access into the agendaof the university, associations,

research funders etc


How we work with scholarly communication issues

Working at The local level – within the university The national level Internationally


Working within the university

The main problem – creating awareness! Making researchers aware Making university decision makers aware

The pricing issues the starting point, but rapidly moving beyond that


Lund University - recommendations• Mandatory registration of all published works in

the Institutional Repository (LU:research)• Authors should use the model license

agreement when submitting works to publishers• Authors should deposit their works in the

Institutional Repository

• Scholarly Communications and E-Publishing Advisory Board appointed by the Vice-Chancellor


Lund University

• Intellectual property rights agreements:– Working group with representatives from the

Law Faculty, the University Legal Department, and the Library Head Office have proposed model licenses for Lund University

– http://www.lu.se/jurenh/INTERN/avtal.html– Retaining the right to deposit a pre- or postprint

in the Institutional Repository

Communication– Swedish Association of Higher Education

(SUHF)– SVEP – The Swedish E-Publishing Project


Creating Awareness in universities:

Roads for Knowledge – the need for a new strategy for

universities and their libraries

Report commissioned by the Association of Swedish Universities & University Colleges (SUHF) - http://

www.suhf.se/pdf/Biblioteksrapporten.pdf

http://www.suhf.se/pdf/Biblioteksrapporten.pdf





Observations and recommendations:

• There is a need for changes in the current system for scholarly publishing

• The universities need to establish conditions for creating professional publishing services within universities and university colleges (BOAI 1)

• As of today the libraries are the natural choice for the organisation of such activities.


SUHF will

• Establish a task force to look at intellectual property rights agreements

• Investigate the long term effects of the current system of scholarly publishing

• Investigate and evaluate current research assessment and merit systems and

• Promote alternative approaches based on university publishing and other initiatives for open access publishing


SUHF has

• Appointed a task force to:– Initiate discussions with research

councils/funders initiated – Draft Intellectual Property Rights

agreements – retaining rights to deposit pre-/postprints on university servers etc

The task force will suggest SUHF to sign the Berlin Declaration later this year - DONE


SVEP (Electronic Publishing in Swedish Universities)

• Aim:– Promote and coordinate the development of

electronic publishing at Swedish Universities

• Funded by BIBSAM (Royal Library, Sweden)

• Participants:– Uppsala, Gothenburg, Lund etc.
