“Restrictive access policies drastically reduces readership of electronic research journal articles.” Professor Frank Youngman, DVC, University of
Botswana

“OA is a vital means of dissemination of information which is crucial for national development and in achieving MDGs, given the crucial role that information plays in achieving social, economic, cultural and political development.”

“Access to relevant and timely information is critical to support the University’s mission of teaching, learning, research and the managerial functions of the University. Access to information is also an essential condition for the economic and social development of the country. Open access will enhance access to local content and this goal can only be achieved through collaborative efforts.”
Professor Kamau Ngamau, Dean Faculty of Agriculture, JKUAT

One of the key pillars of the University of Botswana new strategic plan “Strategy for excellence” is “Research Intensification”. OA will help the University of Botswana, Government, and research institutions to achieve this pillar by ensuring online accessibility to public funded research output that can be freely shared by everyone, enhance research quality, and improve visibility of the institution and the nation globally.
Prof. Frank Youngman, DVC, U of Botswana

The SOAP survey
11 EIFL partner countries: Bulgaria, China, Egypt, Nigeria, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, South Africa, Thailand and Ukraine
About 86% of researchers are convinced that OA publishing is beneficial to their research field directly improving the way scientific community work and providing the benefits outside the scientific community – public good benefits

How OA benefits your work and career
Distribution and usage
Immediate access to your research output for everyone upon official publication
More visibility & usage
Immediate impact of your work
Intensification of research through fast dissemination and use of research;
Possibly a citation advantage as well
![Page 56: Open access repositories](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5459b891af79594e128b50b1/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
How OA benefits your work and career
Plus:
Monitoring of your research output
Preservation of your research output by your library
Keep your rights instead of signing them away
![Page 57: Open access repositories](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5459b891af79594e128b50b1/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
What can you do?
Submit your research articles to OA journals, when there are appropriate OA journals in your field
Deposit your preprints/postprints in an OA repository
Deposit your data files in an OA repository along with the publications built on them.
![Page 58: Open access repositories](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5459b891af79594e128b50b1/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
What can you do? (2)
Volunteer to serve on your university’s committee to evaluate faculty for promotion and tenure. Make sure the committee is using criteria that, at the very least, do not penalize faculty for publishing in peer-reviewed OA journals. At best, adjust the criteria to give faculty an incentive to provide OA to their peer-reviewed research articles either through OA journals or OA repositories
![Page 59: Open access repositories](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5459b891af79594e128b50b1/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
What can you do? (3)
Work with your professional societies to make sure they understand OA.
Write opinion pieces (articles, journal editorials, newspapers op-eds, letters to the editor, discussion forum postings) advancing the cause of OA.
Educate the next generation of scientists and scholars about OA.
![Page 60: Open access repositories](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5459b891af79594e128b50b1/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
“Michael Faraday’s advice to his junior colleague to: “Work. Finish. Publish.” needs to be revised. It shouldn’t be enough to publish a paper anymore. If we want open science to flourish, we should raise our expectations to: “Work. Finish. Publish. Release.” That is, your research shouldn’t be considered complete until the data and meta-data is put up on the web for other people to use, until the code is documented and released, and until the comments start coming in to your blog post announcing the paper. If our general expectations of what it means to complete a project are raised to this level, the scientific community will start doing these activities as a matter of course.”
