About the Webinar
The publication and management of Open Access material now plays a central role in the academic research infrastructure, although its impact may differ across disciplines. If, as Heather Joseph of SPARC has written in College and Research Library News, "the full accessibility and utility of articles is a critical part of the design of the research system," then how can the library ensure that this material, which may be generated via an array of various processes from multiple sources, is easily available for its patrons to discover and use? Join NISO's presenters for a lively discussion on this timely topic.

4. If you’re a publisher, you survey
and find this
• Browsing the journal
• Google Scholar
• TOC alerts
• RSS feeds
• Library catalog referrals
5. If you’re a librarian, you may
think this
• Google Scholar
• Library catalog
• Actually going to the library
• TOC email alerts
• RSS feeds

6. If you’re a scientist, you ask
your colleagues and they tell you
this
• Google Scholar
• Via email from PI/colleague
• Library catalog
• from web forum
• #icanhazpdf
7. There’s a lot of pent up demand
• Pubmed Central downloads are
about 50% from non-institutional
domains.
• Searches landing on Arxiv are often
from non-institutional domains
• Nurses
• Small business
• Interested public / lay scientists
8. The difference in the two types
of discovery is that one is social
Not Social
∙ Search
∙ Email alerts
∙ RSS feeds
∙ Browsing
journal
websites
∙ Visiting the
library
Social
∙ Emails from
colleagues
∙ links shared on
social networks
∙ web forums
∙ shared servers
9. Obviously, open access research
has an advantage here

Gold model: still costly; change not radical enough. Publishers maintain their hegemony. Also: is the business model sustainable? How much will publishers be able to charge an author? Only very big publishers, such as PLoS, publish large numbers of papers] Direct [sometimes also called “pure”] gold OA refers to journals that provide all of their articles free to readers at the time of publication. Example: PLoS ONE from the Public Library of Science.Delayed gold OA refers to journals that make their articles open access after some period of time. Example: A number of Wiley titles have an embargo period of 6-12 months before articles are available outside of their paywall.Hybrid gold OA refers to a model whereby a journal that is normally made available by subscription provides an alternative for authors to pay a fee [or have a fee paid on their behalf] to make their particular article freely available. Example: Many societies have embraced this model with the American Chemical Society’s AuthorChoice a well-known example.

http://www.plos.org/about/what-is-plos/progress-updates/2011-2012/#financialIn 2006, the journal published 138 articles; in 2007, it published just over 1,200 articles; and in 2008, it published almost 2,800 articles, making it the largest open access journal in the world. In 2009, 4,406 articles were published, making PLOS ONE the third largest scientific journal in the world (by volume) and in 2010, 6,749 articles were published, making the journal the largest in the world (by volume).[6] In 2011, the journal published 13,798 articles,[7] meaning that approximately 1 in 60 of all articles indexed by PubMed as being published in 2011 were published by PLoS ONE [8]
Green model: assuming that editing, formatting, graphic arts etc. can be handled by parties other than the publishers, we remain with the questionable discoverability and credibility of materials published not through traditional publishers
So why aren’t we in an open-access world already now? What are the barriers?

[according to she Study of Open Access Publishing (SOAP) which “ aims to study the new open access business models that have emerged as a result of the shift from print to digital documents and inform the European Commission and all stakeholders about the risks, opportunities and essential requirements for a smooth transition to open access publishing:” 39% of the researches regard the funding as the main barrier for publishing in open access journals; the next barrier (30%) is lack of prestige in some disciplines.
CredibilityCurrent practices: Journal impact factor, branding, reputation; these also predict the future of the specific publicationCurrent practices are crucial for assessment, tenure, overall career
Discoverability is not only about searching and finding; it’s also about accessing. With open-access publishing, there is a change in the notion of ‘appropriate copy’: it may be the open-access copy of the final, licensed work.
Ex Libris: open-access materials—from OA repositories, e.g., arXiv, and OA or hybrid journals (DOAJ, Sprimger), already in Primo Central. We look at setting an open-access portal available for all, including non-affiliated users

Mentioned by ChristineIncreased demand for research data – reproducing advancing published research, transparencyNot always OA but often isIndexing datasets – not always linked to articles but both discoverable in PC – above – article and datasetLong term, looking to link togetherThis relates to a point I’m making in the first part of the presentation, the increasing demand for access to research data for reproducing and advancing published research. This is not necessarily open access but many of these data sets can be obtained from institutions and researchers and contribute to a more open way of scholarly communication and research.We are indexing and increasing amount of research data sets. They cannot always be connected to articles but they can be discovered together with the article as you can see in this example of an article with an associated data set obtainable via Dryad. Long term we are looking into better ways to directly link both.
I mentioned altmetrics in my first part. This is currently an evolving addition to traditional impact metrics and provides a more diverse and rich picture of how material is usedAltmetric.com is a venture that provides a metric based on usage, especially in social media. We have been following this from the very beginning and published a code extension for Primo on EL Commons, Ex Libris code share platform, earlier this year – embed altmetrics into search resultsThis entire area is evolving and being refined but part of it is public discussions and exposure, so we think that putting this out onto Primo is quite fitting in today’s world of scholarly communication where such things are openly discussed and improved by doing so. This has already been downloaded from EL Commons 145 times.There is also a blog post about it on the Ex Libris initiatives blog that explains the background more and gives also references to many interesting websites and articles.

Libraries and researchers should cooperate to publish open-access materials through the technological channels (e.g., Primo and Primo Central) and perhaps enrich the offering by linking research datasets, reports, and other materials relevant to the publication.
