2. What is open access?
“Open access (OA) refers to research outputs
which are distributed online and free of cost or other
barriers, and possibly with the addition of a Creative
Commons license to promote reuse.
◦ Open access can be applied to all forms of published
research output, including peer-reviewed and non peer-
reviewed academic journal articles, conference papers,
theses, book chapters, and monographs.”

6. Copyright is a legal right, existing in many countries, that
grants the creator of an original work exclusive rights to
determine whether, and under what conditions, this
original work may be used by others
~ Wikipedia
Copyright
7. A public license or public copyright license is a license by
which a copyright holder as licensor can grant additional
copyright permissions to any and all persons in the general
public as licensees.
~ Wikipedia
Public Copyright License
9. A Creative Commons (CC) license is one of
several public copyright licenses that enable the
free distribution of an otherwise copyrighted
work.
A CC license is used when an author wants to give people
the right to share, use, and build upon a work that they have
created.
~ Wikipedia
Creative Commons License
10. Creative Commons (CC) is an internationally active
non-profit organization that provides free licenses for
creators to use when making their work available to the
public.
These licenses help the creator to give permission for
others to use the work in advance under certain
conditions.

14. Range of distribution mechanisms and
business models of Open Access
Self-archiving
Open access journal
Hybrid open-access journal
15. Self Archiving
Self-archiving is the act of an author depositing a
free copy of an electronic document online in order
to provide open access to it.
[Harnad, S. (2001). "The Self-Archiving Initiative". Nature 410
(6832): 1024–1025. doi:10.1038/35074210 ]
16. Green Road to Open Access
Self-archiving, also called ‘green open access’
refers to authors archiving their articles in an
institutional repository or a subject repository
Green open access journal publishers allow authors
to self-archiving their publications to institutional
repositories
17. Gold Route to Open Access
The author or author’s institution or the research
project funding agency pay a fee to the publisher at
publication time to make the publication available 'free'
at the point of access (the 'gold' route).
19. Platinum & Diamond Open Access
“Open access journal funded by an academic institution,
learned society or a government information center (no
publication fees are paid by authors) - platinum,
diamond” ~ Wikipedia
◦ Essentially, Diamond OA is a form of Gold OA that does not include
a requirement for authors to pay article processing charges.
~Scholarly Kitchen
◦ Platinum (also known as sponsored or diamond) open access
journals allow immediate access to the content of the journal without
the payment of a subscription fee or licence. Authors pay no article
publication charge and all the costs of publishing the journal are met
by one or more sponsoring organizations.
~ Publishing Support
20. Open access journal
Full open access journals with all content open access;
Hybrid open access journals where only some of the
content is open access
Delayed open access journals where the content is made
open access after a delay (e.g. 12 or 24 months i.e. an
embargo period. This is mostly the case with thesis and
dissertations).
22. A predatory publisher is an opportunistic publishing venue that exploits the academic need to
publish but offers little reward for those using their services.
~https://instr.iastate.libguides.com/predatory
24. Why researchers publish in predatory journals?
The academic "publish or perish"
scenario.
In research environments, there is usually
more value for quantity over quality.
Hiring and promotion of academics is
based largely on their number of
publications.
Predatory journals has helped many
pseudo-researchers to prosper.
30. Treading Open Path
When authors prefer to self-archive their past publications,
they should be careful whether the publishers who
published their publications would allow them to do so
Sherpa sites exactly addresses these issues
31. SHERPA
Securing a Hybrid Environment for Research
Preservation and Access (SHERPA)
SHERPA project was started in 2002
Supported by Joint Information Systems Committee
(JISC) and Consortium of University Research
Laboratories (CURL)
26 institutions including British Library
University of Nottingham (lead)
