Celebrating 5 years of Public Library of Science (PLoS)
Making full use of the Internet to share and reuse content without restriction is pushing scholarly communication into the future
Open Access Day acknowledges the enormous progress that’s been made towards comprehensive access to research.
1. What is Open Access Day?
![Page 4: UCD Library Supports Open Access Day 2008](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5459b2d9af79594e128b509b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Open Access Day is a great opportunity to inform everyone on campus about the nature and importance of Open Access
We also wish to highlight UCD and national initiatives currently under way in the Open Access arena
2. Why is the Library participating?
![Page 5: UCD Library Supports Open Access Day 2008](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5459b2d9af79594e128b509b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
A growing international movement that uses the Internet to throw open the locked doors that once hid knowledge.
Making scholarly publications available on Open Access allows them to be freely accessed by anyone worldwide using an internet connection. The potential readership of Open Access material is far greater than that for publications where the full text is restricted to subscribers only.
The Open Access philosophy was firmly articulated in 2002, when the Budapest Open Access Initiative was introduced.

4. Open Access takes many forms
![Page 7: UCD Library Supports Open Access Day 2008](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5459b2d9af79594e128b509b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The principle that publicly funded research should be freely accessible online, immediately after publication, is gaining ever more momentum around the world as research funders and policy makers put their weight behind it
Major funders are introducing mandates, requiring research outputs funded by them to be made available in Open Access journals or repositories
In Ireland IRCSET and HEA both have OA mandates
SFI is evaluating responses received by June 19th to its proposal to establish an OA mandate
5. Mandates
![Page 8: UCD Library Supports Open Access Day 2008](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5459b2d9af79594e128b509b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Applies to research publications where one or more researchers receive IRCSET funding
Applies to all publications after May 1st 2008 Author must lodge publications in an open
access repository within 6 calendar months at the latest, subject to copyright agreement
The repository should ideally be a local institutional repository
Authors should deposit post-prints (or publisher’s version if permitted) upon acceptance
Applies to peer-reviewed articles and published conference proceedings
The IRCSET mandate – key points

Applies to research publications where one or more researchers receive HEA funding
Applies to all publications after June 30 2008 Authors must lodge publications in an open access
repository within 6 calendar months at the latest, subject to copyright agreement
The repository should ideally be a local institutional repository
Authors should deposit post-prints (or publisher’s version if permitted) upon acceptance
Applies to peer-reviewed articles and published conference proceedings

An institutional repository is an online database where digital copies of research items such as articles, theses, conference proceedings and working papers are held and made freely available on the internet.
The records in a repository are stored according to international standards. The content can then be made available to other databases and search engines such as Google Scholar.
6. Creating an Institutional Repository (IR) for UCD
![Page 11: UCD Library Supports Open Access Day 2008](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5459b2d9af79594e128b509b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
We are building a repository to hold details plus the full text of UCD research outputs
Economics researchers are the early adopters
We will be linking the system to the University Research Management System
We will be rolling out this service across the University
Research Online @ UCD

The IReL-Open Project is building online open-access institutional repositories in all seven Irish universities and linking these together through a National Research Portal. For the first time, Irish research will be made freely available on a worldwide scale.

UCD is participating in an EU –funded project to build a multilingual European economics portal
Economics research from our local repository will be harvested and included in an EU portal showcasing full text research from the top 500 economics researchers in Europe
8. Economists Online –a major EU project

As well as placing a version of your research in the UCD repository you may also wish to consider publishing in an Open Access journal so that from publication date there are no barriers to accessing your article in its final peer-reviewed version
There are fully Open Access publishers such as BioMedCentral, Hindawi and Public Library of Science
A great many commercial and learned society publishers also offer an Open Access option – in most cases there are up front charges to pay for this choice

UCD authors can publish with BioMed Central (BMC) without paying any charges
This service provides free access to over 160 peer-reviewed, open access biomedical research publications.
