What does Open Access mean?
• Free (for the end user)• Digital (online)
![Page 4: Open access](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54936692b47959c6348b46c5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

What is Open Access?
• Immediately (embargo’s are possible)• Research (publications, but also datasets)• With as few restrictions (reuse and copyright)
as possible
![Page 6: Open access](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54936692b47959c6348b46c5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Why
• Research payed for by tax payer’s money should be available to them without extra cost
• Because my research funder obliges me to make my research available in Open Access
• Colleagues worldwide should have access to my research, not only those who can pay all subscription prices
![Page 7: Open access](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54936692b47959c6348b46c5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
[email protected] www.openaccess.be @openaccess_be
Why
• I want to increase visibility and impact of my work
• I want my research to be available as soon as possible
• I disagree with the policies of the big publishers

Different Ways to make your work OA
Deposit an open access version of your work in a repository Publish directly in an
OA journal
![Page 9: Open access](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54936692b47959c6348b46c5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Self-archiving
• Deposit research in OA repository – Institutional
– Subject (discipline-specific)
• Better than personal, departmental or project website!
![Page 10: Open access](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54936692b47959c6348b46c5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
[email protected] www.openaccess.be @openaccess_be
Self-archiving
• Immediate OA or after embargo period (discipline-specific)
• ‘Free’• Main focus of mandates
![Page 11: Open access](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54936692b47959c6348b46c5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Open Access publishing
• Publish in OA Journal• All disciplines• OA has no influence on quality of journal!• With or without Article Processing Charges/
Author Fees
![Page 12: Open access](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54936692b47959c6348b46c5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Open Access publishing
• Hybrid OA: – traditional journal -> OA Fee -> immediate OA – your institution still has to pay subscription fees
because not all content is freely accessible …
![Page 13: Open access](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54936692b47959c6348b46c5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
[email protected] www.openaccess.be @openaccess_be
Open Access publishing
• Young journals -> not always scoring well in traditional metrics systems – but are catching up! (PLOS, BioMedCentral, …)
![Page 14: Open access](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54936692b47959c6348b46c5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
[email protected] www.openaccess.be @openaccess_be
It’s not over …
• Mainstreaming – More attention– Also: more discussion!
• Lots of experimenting going on! – Financing OA journals– Overlay journals based on repository content – …
• Altmetrics• Text and data mining

The European perspective
• European Commission: big research funder (FP7 – Horizon 2020)
• 2 dedicated commissioners Neelie Kroes and Máire Geoghegan-Quinn

The EC and Open Access
• Why open access ?– Serving research and innovation (R&I) and improving
return on investment – Allow the benefits of science to be exploited by all
(researchers, industry, citizens) and give equal access in all EU27 Member States
– Give free access to results of publicly-funded research – Drive down the costs for dissemination without
sacrificing quality
![Page 18: Open access](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54936692b47959c6348b46c5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

The EC and Open Access
• A means to improve knowledge circulation – Not a goal in itself ! – Not all Member States are the same
• Both 'Green' and 'Gold' open access measures should be promoted in Horizon 2020, both should be valid and complementary approaches (transition period of the market)
• “Open access must be effective, fair, affordable, competitive and sustainable for researchers and innovative businesses”

OA Pilot in FP7
• 7 areas (>1300 projects to date) – 20% of total FP7 budget (2007-2013) – OpenAIRE portal www.openaire.eu – Linking of publications with datasets
• 'Best effort' to provide OA • Peer-reviewed publications • Allowed embargos: 6/12 months • Refunding of OA publishing costs – Eligible while project runs
![Page 20: Open access](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54936692b47959c6348b46c5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

OA Mandate in Horizon 2020
• No longer a pilot : OA becomes an obligation• All scientific areas • Peer-reviewed publications• Allowed embargos: 6/12 months • Plus: pilot for research data • OA publishing costs – Eligibile while project runs – plus (tbc): possibility to cover later publications,
under conditions to define

What do you think?
• Are you making your research OA already? Why (not)?
• What can be done on university/government level as incentives
• Would you consider taking part of OA initiatives such as new journals, training sessions, …
• How about your research data? • …
