1. The Rocky Way to Open Access
Christian Gumpenberger
Open Repositories, Southampton, April 2008
2. Novartis and Open Access
Novartis has so far supported the ‚Gold Road‘
• membership to BioMed Central (since 2003) and PLoS (since 2004)
• encouraging Novartis authors to publish in OA journals
• including > 200 OA journals in internal e-journals tool
still author uptake is low so far
currently ‚Green Road‘ deemed to be more successful
