RCUK POLICY. BIS COMMITTEE (HOUSE OF COMMONS) RECCOMENDATIONS
• Author’s to choose licence under which they publish
TYPE OF OPEN ACCESS PREFERENCE• GREEN OA and Institutional repositories’ infrastructure are CRUCIAL for OA• Reinstate IMMEDIATE DEPOSIT in its policy • Improve COMPLIANCE MONITORING• Come back to 6-12 months EMBARGO
UK investment
in IR International trend: Green
OA
ECONOMIC IMPACT• Is it wise to ask universities to contribute to block grant in current economic crisis?• Is Gold OA having an impact in current UK subscription purchasing?
HYBRID JOURNALS
APC
LICENSE
• RCUK to cover APCs only in pure GOLD OA (avoid double dipping)• Even if not double dipping: is UK’s subsidizing purchasing subscriptions worldwide?
• Asses APC costs (different in hybrid and pure OA?; is the policy inflating APCs?• Come back to use grant funds to publish (authors are more sensitive to APC costs)

RESEARCH DATA. ARE WE READY?
Research librarires are willing to contribute, but:
1. Re-skilling needed (IT, discipline knowledge)
2. Funding needed
RESEARCH DATA. HOW DO WE GET STARTED (I)?Ten reccomendations for libraries to get started with Research Data Mangement:
1.Offer research data management support, including data management plans for grant applications, intellectual property rights ad-vice and information materials. Assist faculty with data management plans and the integration of data management into the curiculum.
2. Engage in the development of metadata and data standards and provide metadata services for research data
3. Create Data Librarian posts and develop professional staff skills for data librarianship.
4. Actively participate in institutional research data policy development, including resource plans. Encourage and adopt open data policies where appropriate in the re-search data life cycle
5. Liaise and partner with researchers, research groups, data archives and data centers to foster an interoperable infrastructure for data access, discovery and data sharing.
RESEARCH DATA. HOW DO WE GET STARTED (II)?Ten reccomendations for libraries to get started with Research Data Mangement:
6.Support the lifecycle for research data by providing services for storage, discovery and permanent access.
7. Promote research data citation by applying persistent identifiers to research data.
8. Provide an institutional Data Catalogue or Data Repository, depending on available infrastructure.
9.Get involved in subject specific data management practice.
10.Offer or mediate secure storage for dynamic and static research data in cooperation with institutional IT units and/or seek exploitation of appropriate cloud services
