New Models of Scholarly Communication
• Faculty-driven
• Reaction to the restricted flow of information Open science, open data, blogs, open access
• Reaction to traditional models of control
• Technology enables new interactions– Collaboration
– Free flow of information
– Supports distributed scholarship
Open Access Defined• Open-access (OA) literature is
– digital
– online
– free of charge to readers
– free of most copyright and licensing restrictions
– and requires the consent of, or attribution to, the author or copyright-holder
– Peter Suber, Focusing on open accesshttp://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/overview.htm
Why OA is so Important to Researchers
• Research is published faster• It is available online • Gives research timely visibility, wider readership,
higher citation rates, and greater overall impact. • Barriers to access are having a significant negative
impact on research • Timely, open, online access to the results of
federally-funded research in the US will significantly increase the return on the public’s investment in science
Global and National Initiatives
• UNESCO: for the benefit of global knowledge flow, innovation and socio-economic development
• 2008 NIH mandate
• 2009 introduction of Federal Research Public Access Act (FRPAA)
• Other funding agencies also: Wellcome Trust and
Canadian Institutes of Health Research
OA in Peer Institutions
• Many research universities have Open Access policies, encouraging or mandating faculty to submit peer-reviewed articles to Institutional Repositories.
• Some top-tiered Universities have OA publishing funds
The Need for Open Access
• Concept of “public access”: taxpayers, federal agencies, and universities pay twice for funded research
• High costs of journals are now unsustainable
• Barriers to access are having a negative impact on research
Steps Toward Open Access @ UF
• Promotion of the UF institutional repository
• Establishment an OA publishing fund
• Creation of a faculty-driven university-wide OA policy
We invite you to participate in the the Institutional Repository and Open Access Publishing Fund
