5. Sharing data is a necessity, not a luxury
The world is changing: From an information to a (primary) data
society
Data deluge: now and even more in the future
Mission of research institutes: doing research and disseminating the
results
We need NEW models for scholarly communication
Open Access
Cf. Obama admin, EC: open public data
Universities
Research libraries and data centres

7. It’s all about laaaaaarge amounts of data
“Data are no longer considered as interim products to be
discarded once the research reporting them is published.
Rather, they have become important sources of
scholarly content to be used and re-used.”
Borgman, The role of libraries in e-science
Raw data from a central Pb+Pb event for 40 rows of the Main TPC

10. This is e-science … and no science fiction
Large scale computing resources
Data-intensive
Carried out over the internet
Collaborative (team science, virtual science communities)
Distributed (networked science)
Interdisciplinary
Heterogeneous
Quick and wide dissemination
Semana del Acceso Abierto Peru, 25 October 2011
11. The paradox of e-science
I share my data because I want/need your data
Vs.
I don’t share data because it doesn’t help my career
It is MY data and I keep them safely stored on my laptop
I don’t want other people to make misuse of my data
Semana del Acceso Abierto Peru, 25 October 2011
12. Opportunities for data exchange
http://www.ode-project.eu/
Data sharing is
smart: it is efficient, avoids duplication, stimulates the
advancement of science
about transparency: it allows re-analysis
about enrichment: it adds value to traditional publications
rewarding: requirement for publicly funded research
3 perspectives: researchers, publishers, libraries and data
centres
Semana del Acceso Abierto Peru, 25 October 2011
13. There is no other way
E-science is a reality and Open Access goes hand in
hand with it
Research output needs stable and trustworthy
Access
Storage
Semana del Acceso Abierto Peru, 25 October 2011
14. Challenges for research libraries/data centres
Directly contribute to more efficient/transparent research
and education (open scholarschip, open knowledge)
Getting involved in the research and education workflows
Set new priorities
Semana del Acceso Abierto Peru, 25 October 2011
15. DART Europe OA e-theses portal
Portal for discovery of European research theses in Open
Access
Run by UCL (University College London) for LIBER
At http://www.dart-europe.eu
228,665 research theses available (24 October 2011)
from 359 European Universities
in 20 European countries
Semana del Acceso Abierto Peru, 25 October 2011
16. Open Access to research theses
Theses freely available in
Open Access are more heavily
used than paper equivalents
Example: Dublin City
University, 2009
518 consultations of
paper theses
16,212 downloads for
the equivalent digital theses
See: Hill, R. and Moyle, M. (2010)

18. LERU Roadmap towards Open Access
Top-level findings
Open Access can be viewed in the wider context
of Open Scholarship and Open Knowledge
Each LERU University could consider appointing a senior
Officer to act as Open Access champion
Some LERU Universities are interested in collaborations
over Open Access publishing, particularly for Open Access
monograph publishing in the Arts, Humanities and Social
Sciences
Semana del Acceso Abierto Peru, 25 October 2011
19. LERU Roadmap towards Open Access (2)
Roadmap highlights current LERU practices
UCL (University College London) Open Access mandate
Publications fund in the University of Barcelona
Award-winning strategy for Open Access in the
University of Zürich

20. Green route
Institutional repositories provide a basis for Open Access
approaches (para. 20)
Costs vary from €30,000 - €242,000 per year in the UK
(para. 22)
Communications Strategy needed to support advocacy
(para. 23)
Universities need to be clear about what type of material
is being deposited (para. 25)
Semana del Acceso Abierto Peru, 25 October 2011
21. Green route (2)
University of Helsinki requires authors to deposit copies
of their research articles published in academic journals
in HELDA – the institutional repository (para. 25)
Open Access Strategy should be embedded in pan-
University Strategies (para. 30)
Research
Copyright
Teaching & Learning
Semana del Acceso Abierto Peru, 25 October 2011
22. Green route (3)
LERU Universities can consider adopting Open Access
mandates at an institutional level (paras 32-34)
Authors should not assign their copyright to publishers
Better model is for authors to grant non-exclusive rights to an
author to publish (para. 35)
Research data, once made available in Open Access,
opens up opportunities for re-use and collaboration (para.
36)
Semana del Acceso Abierto Peru, 25 October 2011
23. Green route (4)
There is a gap in the current European infrastructure for
long-term secure digital preservation
Certainly as concerns Open Access repositories and Open
Access journals
LERU, research funders and other stakeholders can work
together to identify what infrastructure is needed and who should
provide it (para. 38)
Semana del Acceso Abierto Peru, 25 October 2011
24. Gold route
Changes are taking place in scholarly publishing across
the world and LERU institutions are not exempt (para. 40)
Sustainable Business Models for Gold Open Access
publishing need to be developed (para. 42)
Two models currently exist
Full Open Access journals
Hybrid Journals, which allow Author-Pays charges
Problem of ‘double dipping’ should be addressed (paras 43-4)
Semana del Acceso Abierto Peru, 25 October 2011
25. Gold route (2)
LERU, perhaps with others, could investigate reductions in Author
Payment charges with publishers and membership fees with Open
Access publishers (para. 46)
Changes to existing publishing models will incur transition costs
LERU and/or other Universities can work with other stakeholders to
leverage funding (para. 48)
LERU institutions can work with Open Access monograph publishers
Particularly where the languages are other than English (para. 49)
Semana del Acceso Abierto Peru, 25 October 2011
26. Gold route (3)
There is a need for a cross-institutional study to identify
University commitments to the current publishing models
Authorships
Peer reviewing
Membership of Editorial Boards
Resulting study would act as a baseline for future
developments into the Open Access arena (para. 51)
Semana del Acceso Abierto Peru, 25 October 2011
27. MedOANet
Co-ordination of Open Access strategies, policies and
structures at the national and regional Member State level
