Slide 2
Whats New in OA 2014? On the local, national, and international
scenes
Slide 3
Internationally speaking World Health Organization (WHO)
commits to Open Access by joining Europe PubMed Central (Wellcome
Trust, 1 May 2014) WHO announces Open Access Policy (1 July 2014)
Articles authored or co-authored by WHO staff will have to be
published in OA journals or hybrid OA journals under Creative
Commons 3.0 intergovernmental organization (IGO) license
Subscription journals allowing deposit of accepted author
manuscript in Europe PubMed Central w/i 12 months Articles produced
by recipients of WHO funding will have to be published in OA
journals or hybrid OA journals under standard CC license terms
Subscription journals allowing deposit of articles in Europe PMC
w/i 12 mos
Slide 4
Internationally speaking: The UK Ongoing debates re: Research
Councils UK (RCUK) OA policyResearch Councils UK (RCUK) OA policy
Favors gold open access but leaves final choice to authors
(confusing) Gold OA is considered cheaper in the long run but may
be expensive during transition away from established subscription
models Independent review of implementation announced Higher
Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) announcement Only
papers placed in IRs will be considered eligible for the next
Research Excellence Framework (REF) (periodic assessment of the
outputs of UK university depts.) Proposes mandated deposit on
acceptance, rather than deposit on publication
Slide 5
Internationally speaking: Canada Draft Tri-Agency OA policy for
publicly funded research Draft Tri-Agency OA policy Canadian
Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) CIHR was the 1 st North
American public research funder to have an OA mandate Natural
Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Social Sciences
and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Efforts under way to extend
this to all federally funded research Option 1: Submit manuscripts
to journals offering immediate OA, or within 12 months Option 2:
Archive final peer-reviewed full-text manuscripts in a digital
archive where it will be freely accessible within 12 months
Slide 6
Internationally speaking: Latin America Argentina: OA law
passed Argentinas Senate in November 2013 Brazil: National draft
policy in place (2011-) Mexico: National draft policy in place
(2013-) Peru: Law passed in 2013
Slide 7
At the national level: Energy U.S. Dept. of Energy unveils plan
to increase public access to research it finances (CHE, 4 August
2014) Prompted by White House Office of Science and Technology
Policy (OSTP) memorandumWhite House Office of Science and
Technology Policy (OSTP) memorandum Energy 1 st agency to release
its public access plan Web-based portal: Public Access Gateway for
Energy and Science (PAGES) Initial rollout: 6,500 papers and
abstracts only for some (Science Insider, 4 August 2014)
Slide 8
SPARC response Good but... Falls short in some key areas
(Heather Joseph, SPARC) Reuse rights not addressed clearly
Publishers retain copyright to their versions of the research
Metadata is in public domain No centralized system for searching No
searchable index of the full text of articles Instead, distributed
full-text access Dark archive of manuscripts to be used if links
become broken or full-text access is interrupted No plans to
provide ways for researchers to analyze the entirety of research
Harder to do computational analysis, text or data miningthe kind of
innovative uses the White House directive was designed to
encourage
Slide 9
Publisher response Generally supportive of the DOE plan (CHE, 4
August 2014) However, the Association of American Publishers doesnt
like the 12-month embargo the plan provides The half-life of
published research varies across disciplines, which is an argument
against blanket embargo periods Many publishers dislike PubMed
Centralthey say it infringes on journal copyright and diverts
readers from their websites, cutting into advertising revenues
(Science Insider, 4 August 2014) White House order tried to address
this concern
Slide 10
At the national level: Education U.S. Dept. of Education
releases Secretarys Proposed Supplemental Priorities and
Definitions for Discretionary Grant Programs (24 June
2014)Secretarys Proposed Supplemental Priorities and Definitions
for Discretionary Grant Programs New definition for Open
Educational Resource (OER) Understanding that OER can be used to
improve and enhance department wide priorities Proposed Priority
#11: Leveraging Technology to Support Instructional Practice and
Professional Development
Slide 11
SPARC response Applauded proposal; cited additional proposed
priorities that OER could help address Proposed Priority #3:
Enabling the Creation of Personalized Learning Environments
Proposed Priority #4: Targeting and Differentiating Material
Specifically for High-Need Students Proposed Priority #5:
Increasing Postsecondary Access, Affordability, and Completion
Proposed Priority #7: Promoting Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Mathematics Education
Slide 12
At the National Level: Congress HR 4186, Frontiers in
Innovation, Research, Science, and Technology (FIRST) Act Language
amended to match that of HR 3157, Public Access to Public Science
Act (May 2014) Embargo period of 12 months, not 24 Allows for
embargo to be modified by a maximum of 6 months if the stakeholders
can prove substantial and unique harm Requires agencies to submit a
report to Congress w/i 90 days detailing their public access
policy; implementation w/i 1 year
Slide 13
At the state level: California California Taxpayer Access to
Publicly Funded Research Legislation (AB 609) signed into law on 29
September 2014 Requires researchers receiving state-funded grant
from the CA Dept. of Public Health to Submit an electronic copy of
articles resulting from that grant and accepted for publication to
a publicly accessible online database Or, if needing to be
submitted to another OA repository, researchers can supply the link
to the state agency and the CA State Library Within 12 months of
publication
Slide 14
At the state level: Illinois Illinois Open Access to Articles
Act (SB 1900) Passed both chambers of the IL legislature Awaiting
governors signature Requires that Illinois state universities and
colleges develop an open access to research articles policy within
1 year of the bills passage Direct faculty to make freely available
to the public an electronic version of the authors final manuscript
of original research (deposit on acceptance) Author grants to
public an irrevocable, worldwide copyright license to use these
manuscripts
Slide 15
At the state level: New York New York Taxpayer Access to
Publicly Funded Research Legislation (A180-2013 and S4050-2013)
Introduced into NY State Assembly in 2013 Bill currently under
consideration; no further action expected until the start of the
2014 legislative session So whats the current status of this
legislation?
