10. European Research Theses
Research theses gain more visibility when available in
electronic format, preferably Open Access
Good for research and good for the researcher
DART-Europe now a target for SFX link resolver
Preferred mode of working is for DART-Europe to work
with national aggregators
DART-Europe working with Europeana to model DART-
Europe providing the European view on E-Theses
Part of the Europeana Libraries project

12. UCL Case Study
UCL has an Open Access mandate
In the first phase, UCL´s Academic Board, in May 2009,
agreed two principles to underpin UCL’s publication
activity and to support its scholarly mission:
That, copyright permissions allowing, a copy of all research outputs
should be deposited in the UCL repository in Open Access
The second phase of implementing the mandate was
accomplished in Autumn 2010 when UCL’s Academic Board
ratified a formal Publications Policy which expands on the two
principles agreed in 2009

13. UCL Case Study
Close collaboration in the University’s Academic Board
and liaison with academic colleagues has been
important in taking forward a broad Open Access policy
in UCL
A second important driver has been the linking of UCL’s
Open Access mandate to a pan-university Publications
Policy with Open Access as the result, copyright
permissions allowing

14. UCL Case Study
UCL Discovery is UCL’s Open Access repository
As of March 2011, the number of full-text deposits were:

15. UCL Case Study
In 2010
almost 532,000 records were downloaded from the system,
compared to some 305,000 in 2009.
UCL Discovery received some 143,000 hits per day in
December 2010
76% of its user traffic came from search engines
UCL Discovery is a global service
Highest number of downloads in 2010 by country were
from the UK, with the second highest from USA, and the
third highest from China

16. UCL Case Study
All UCL’s work has, thus far, been directed towards
implementing the Green route for Open Access
Aligning copyright/IPR frameworks
Producing a UCL Publications Policy, approved by the academic
Senate
Building capacity in terms of infrastructure to support the move
towards Open Access
Putting in place workflows to support the new processes
What is the role for the Gold route?

18. UCL E-Publishing initiatives
UCL Publications Board favours work in 4 broad areas:
Research publications, particularly research monographs and
conference proceedings
Teaching support, particularly textbooks
Journal publication
Data publication
UCL is minded to take forward work in all these areas, in
a phased way

19. UCL E-Publishing initiatives
Journal Publishing
There is great interest in UCL in developing an overlay
journal publishing system, based on copy housed in UCL
Discovery, the institutional Open Access repository
Development work being planned would build on the
earlier successful RIOJA project (2008)
See http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/11927/

20. UCL E-Publishing Initiatives
RIOJA project investigated the feasibility of an overlay journal model
in collaboration with arXiv
RIOJA toolkit comprised a set of XML-based APIs for the exchange
of data between digital repositories and journals to facilitate
overlaying of academic journals on several digital repositories
Overlay Journals have to address issues known to conventional
publishing
Peer review
Sustainable Business Models
Academic buy-in
EPICURE now being funded by the JISC as a generic overlay journal
project for Universities

22. LERU
A consortium of 22 research-intensive universities in Europe
See http://www.leru.org/index.php/public/home/.
LERU is committed to
Education through an awareness of the frontiers of human understanding
Creation of new knowledge through basic research, which is the ultimate
source of innovation in society
Promotion of research across a broad front, which creates a unique
capacity to re-configure activities in response to new opportunities and
problems
The purpose of the League is to advocate these values, to influence
policy in Europe and to develop best practice through mutual
exchange of experience

23. LERU
LERU wants to know what position, if any, it should take
on the Open Access debate
General meeting of LERU Chief Information
Officers/University Librarians in December 2009
Appointed a Working Group to draw up a LERU Roadmap
towards Open Access
Road Map is now with LERU Vice-Chancellors for consideration.
Outcome should be known by the end of May 2011

24. LERU
Purpose of the Roadmap is to offer guidance on how to
position your University in the European Open Access
landscape
Builds on the Open Access Statement of the European
Universities Association
See http://www.eua.be/eua-work-and-policy-area/research-and-
innovation/Open-Access.aspx
A Roadmap for all European Universities, not just LERU
members

27. Conclusions
European Universities are:
Developing sustainable services, using Open Access protocols,
which bring greater visibility to European research
Creating pan-European partnerships, with innovative project
funding, to develop cutting-edge projects to support the European
user
Developing tools for all European Universities to tackle the Open
Access agenda
