Driving Force Behind Open Access

The objective of open-access is:
not to quarrel with or to replace journals (at all) _____________________________________________
1. not to resolve the budgetary problems of libraries (and yet…)
2. not to provide access to the Developing World (and yet…)

The objective of open-access is:
to maximize research impact

Means of OA
Green Road to Open Access: authors perform self-archiving upon publishing a
peer-reviewed journal article
Gold Road to Open Access: institutions pay for their authors' gold open access
publication fees (APC)

What Libraries Can Do
Self-archiving:
Maintain institutional repository.
Help faculty archive their research papers, new & old, digitizing if necessary.
Make sure scholars at your institution know how to find open access journals and archives in their fields
As open access journals proliferate, cancel over-priced journals
Familiarize yourself with the issues

An institutional repository is a digital archive of the intellectual product created by the faculty, research staff, and students of an institution and accessible to end users both within and outside of the institution, with few if any barriers to access.
In other words, the content of an IR is:

IR offers
•Increasing visibility and prestige
•Centralisation and storage of all types of institutional output
•Support for learning and teaching
•Standardisation of institutional records
•Leverage of existing systems

No review process
Review of subject content with selected group of peers
Only for certain documents (for eg no need of quality control mechanism for any article published in peer reviewed journal submitted to IR with due permission from publisher)

How does IR work
04/11/23
• Research material is hosted and managed on an IR server, using appropriate IR software
•Accessible on the organizational LAN (intranet) + Internet/private network
• Scientists use a web browser to submit (deposit) research material and also search the repository
• Through OAI inter-operability protocol, a central search service ‘Harvests” metadata from individual IR’s, builds a cross-index and provides single point cross-repository search service
• Security concerns could be handled at network, IR and publication level
