15. What?
Why?
How?

16. What?

17. Self-archive (green)

18. http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo

22. OA journals (gold)

26. Why?

27. Expanded access and lower costs for
academics and researchers everywhere

28. Expanded access and lower costs for
academics and researchers everywhere

29. Whether at top institutions, or
community colleges,
whether in Beijing or Varanasi

30. Giving the broader public
access to our research

31. Are the public really interested in
access? A few examples...

33. Wikipedia is a great academic resource
- as a starting point for further research

34. More and more learners are turning to
open courses, and need open materials

35. 20,000+ students will be accessing OA
articles as part of their course

36. Enabling new forms of communicating
and organizing scholarly output

37. OA makes articles more accessible,
even for those who already have access

38. “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.”

39. A paper isn’t necessarily the best “unit
of organization”

41. Adding meaning to articles, enabling
knowledge to be mapped out

42. Opening the scholarly process,
pre-publication

43. How?

44. What can be done by...
Individual researchers
Institutions
Faculty unions and Graduate Student Unions
Academic societies
Journal editors
Provincial governments
Funding bodies (SSHRC etc)

45. Support and publish in Open Access
journals when possible

46. Try to retain copyright when publishing
in toll-access journals

47. Spread the idea, organize as knowledge
producers, in societies, etc.

48. Become active in organizations that
support Open Access

49. Promote OA policies and mandates at
departments and institutions

50. Support funder mandates and
funding for OA journals

51. Announced today, 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

52. Support reform of hiring, promotion
and tenure policies to encourage OA

53. Thank you!
