Open access ultimately meansFree Web access to full texts of all 2.5 million articles published annually in the 24,000 peer-reviewed research journals across all scholarly and scientific disciplines.
(Stevan Harnad, “Zeno’s Paralysis,”
2006)

Two trends converge at open access:The Web -- access to the scholarly research literature is now (theoretically) possible for all
Rising research journal prices -- making research less accessible
![Page 4: Talking to our faculty about open access and authors’ rights](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681670c550346895ddb77f2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Open access means:
Research is free to the reader
… but open access is not
without $$$ costs
![Page 5: Talking to our faculty about open access and authors’ rights](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681670c550346895ddb77f2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Open access has given rise to self-archiving:
in subject repositories like arXiv (physics) and Citeseer (computer
science)
in institutional repositories
![Page 6: Talking to our faculty about open access and authors’ rights](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681670c550346895ddb77f2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Where we fit in: Faculty researcher as searcher
Faculty researcher as author
Arthur Sale, “The Two Hats” (2006)

Ideally we are advocating for open access……But when that isn’t working, educating is the fall-back position
![Page 8: Talking to our faculty about open access and authors’ rights](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681670c550346895ddb77f2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Be aware….. that issues surrounding open access crystallize for different people at different times.
![Page 9: Talking to our faculty about open access and authors’ rights](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681670c550346895ddb77f2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Keep in mind……..
The penetration of open access publishing varies somewhat by discipline.

Concerns commonly expressed about self-archiving:Stevan Harnad, “32 Worries” (http:/www.eprints.org/openaccess/self-faq/#32-worries)
![Page 11: Talking to our faculty about open access and authors’ rights](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681670c550346895ddb77f2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
PermissionHow can I possibly self-archive? It’s illegal!Many journals now allow self-archiving (SHERPA-RoMEO)
Items can be removed from repositories in the very rare instances where removal is requested
![Page 12: Talking to our faculty about open access and authors’ rights](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681670c550346895ddb77f2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Peer reviewHow can I possibly self-archive? What about peer-review?
Open access self-archiving is the self-archiving of peer-reviewed journal
articles before (preprint) and after (postprint) peer review
It’s a supplement to – not a substitute for – publishing in a peer-reviewed journal
![Page 13: Talking to our faculty about open access and authors’ rights](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681670c550346895ddb77f2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
PrestigeHow can I possibly self-archive?It lacks the prestige of publication!
The self-archived version simply provides supplementary access to a published, peer-reviewed journal article
Prestige comes from having met the standards of the journal
![Page 14: Talking to our faculty about open access and authors’ rights](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681670c550346895ddb77f2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
PromotionHow can I possibly self-archive?It won’t count for my performance review!
Self-archiving is NOT self-publishingIt’s the peer-reviewed, published
journal article that counts for the performance review
Self-archiving also increases impact, which does count in performance reviews
![Page 15: Talking to our faculty about open access and authors’ rights](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681670c550346895ddb77f2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
PriorityHow can I possibly self-archive?I may lose priority for my work!
Publicly self-archiving a date-stamped preprint online is the best way to establish priority even before publishing
![Page 16: Talking to our faculty about open access and authors’ rights](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681670c550346895ddb77f2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Plagiarism/PoachingHow can I possibly self-archive?My work could get plagiarized!
Plagiarism of online, open-access text is easier to detect and document
The only surefire way to be completely safe from plagiarism is not to publish or make your work accessible to anyone
![Page 17: Talking to our faculty about open access and authors’ rights](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681670c550346895ddb77f2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Privacy/PatentsHow can I possibly self-archive? My ideas could be stolen!
Patentable ideas are essentially secrets
The only surefire way to keep a secret is not to publish or make it public
Secrets are not appropriate for self-archiving
![Page 18: Talking to our faculty about open access and authors’ rights](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681670c550346895ddb77f2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Pretty-sittingWhy should I self-archive? I already have all the access I need!
Author self-archiving increases impact and can enhance the reputation of the institution
There is still the problem of searcher/users at other, less-well-endowed institutions
![Page 19: Talking to our faculty about open access and authors’ rights](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681670c550346895ddb77f2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
PapyrophiliaWhy should I self-archive?It’s print on paper we need!
Viewpoint is somewhat discipline-specific
Don’t minimize this viewpoint when faculty express it
Do remind that the peer-review and quality of journal is the issue
Print limits access
![Page 20: Talking to our faculty about open access and authors’ rights](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681670c550346895ddb77f2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Publishing’s futureWon’t self-archiving will put publishers out of business?Subscription-based journal publishing and author self-archiving can co-exist peacefully
Institutions’ subscription savings may offset OA costs
SCOAP
![Page 21: Talking to our faculty about open access and authors’ rights](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681670c550346895ddb77f2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
PerspirationHow can I possibly self-archive?It’s too complicated and time-consuming and I already have enough to do.
Success of IRs come from a mandate (institutional or funding agency) or…
Sustained, focused effort on -- usually the library’s -- part
