Green / Gold
OA journals (gold)
Mandates/policies
Announced 6 months ago, covers NSF, Ed, EPA, NASA, USDA, HHS, Commerce, Interior, Defense, Energy, Trans, DHS, Ag,
State, Smithsonian
To develop implementation within 6 months, max 12 months embargo, covers both articles and data
Why?
Expanded access and lower costs for academics and researchers everywhere
Whether at top institutions, or community colleges,
whether in Beijing or Varanasi
OA makes articles more accessible,even for those who already have access
Giving the broader public access to our research
Are the public really interested in access? A few examples...
Wikipedia is a great academic resource - as a starting point for further research
22,000+ students are accessing OA articles as part of their course
Enabling new forms of communicating and organizing scholarly output
“The Open Scholar, as I'm defining this person, is not simply someone who agrees to allow free access and reuse of his or her traditional scholarly articles and books; no, the Open Scholar is someone who makes their intellectual projects and processes digitally visible and who invites and encourages ongoing criticism of their work and secondary uses of any or all parts of it--at any stage of its development.”

After publication
MA thesis
Being an Open Scholar
Improves the quality of your research
Increases your connections, reach, opportunities
“Flattens” the world of academia
Don’t have to do all, but try some of it!
How do people find you?
It takes time, but quality content gets recognized
Comment on others’ blogs, retweet or answer Tweets
Conferences, hashtags
Don’t be so afraid of putting out unfinished work
Make it possible to “follow” you
Current research, projects in progress
“One of the main points behind doing threads was to bring the companion papers together with the main papers. To make it work you needed to make all of the papers open access. This could just not be done without the papers being open access.”
A paper isn’t necessarily the best “unit of organization”
Adding meaning to articles, enabling knowledge to be mapped out
“What is inside our full-text articles, and how do we improve access to it? Or: Stories, that persuade with data.”, Anita de Ward
