HSS disciplines and OA• HSS fields are not ‘exceptions’ but fit into a multi-
dimensional disciplinary space• different disciplines = different publication profiles• profiles relatively constant over time & institution• similar profiles also hold in Europe and the USA
and define the benchmark for international research reputations
![Page 11: Open access futures in the humanities and social sciences a one day conference by sage and the lse public policy group](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554fc53bb4c9050e7d8b4fd3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The international context• dominant trend seems to be towards green OA• absence of exercises like REF to force compliance• many journals will remain non-compliant (not green
or only with 36+ month embargos; not CC-BY)• what does this mean for UK academics whose
international standing relies on publishing in such journals?
![Page 12: Open access futures in the humanities and social sciences a one day conference by sage and the lse public policy group](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554fc53bb4c9050e7d8b4fd3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
OA as it affects the 3 types of publication
• journal articles
• monographs (‘long-form’)
• book chapters
![Page 13: Open access futures in the humanities and social sciences a one day conference by sage and the lse public policy group](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554fc53bb4c9050e7d8b4fd3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Journal articles
HEFCE and BA research project investigating discipline by
discipline:
• ‘half-lives’ of journal articles
• effect of embargo periods on library acquisition
• involvement in non-UK journal publishing
• commitment to OA overseas
PI: Prof Chris Wickham

Monographs
• tend to be single-authored• not captured by usual bibliometric methods• international gold standard in some fields• difficult boundary between ‘academic’ and
‘trade’ lists for publishers
![Page 15: Open access futures in the humanities and social sciences a one day conference by sage and the lse public policy group](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554fc53bb4c9050e7d8b4fd3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Status of monographs
‘There is no other medium that allows for the depth of research, analysis and sustained argumentation.’ [British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, 2012]
![Page 16: Open access futures in the humanities and social sciences a one day conference by sage and the lse public policy group](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554fc53bb4c9050e7d8b4fd3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Options for OA monographs • gold with APC: subventions from the institution
or the funding agency BUT costly – cf Austria FWF pays €14,000 and new Wellcome policy
• green:with an embargo period BUT how long?• ‘mixed’: self-organizing co-operatives BUT how
sustainable?; e-version OA and print version for a payment; etc
![Page 17: Open access futures in the humanities and social sciences a one day conference by sage and the lse public policy group](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554fc53bb4c9050e7d8b4fd3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
HEFCE group on monographs • chaired by Geoff Crossick• aims to explore and understand:
– scale/nature of problems for monographs– place/purpose of monographs in the
academic context– emerging models that accommodate OA
![Page 18: Open access futures in the humanities and social sciences a one day conference by sage and the lse public policy group](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554fc53bb4c9050e7d8b4fd3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
“The Wellcome Trust today announces that it is to extend its open access policy to include all scholarly monographs and book chapters written by its grantholders as part of their Trust-funded research … The Wellcome Trust will make funds available for the payment of publishers' open access monograph processing charges.”
30 May 2013

“The new policy does not apply to textbooks, 'trade' books, general reference works or works of fiction, or to collections edited but not authored by Trust grantholders. It would not affect, for example, a non-fiction work written by a medical historian aimed at a general audience and published by a commercial publisher.”

Book chapters: contra
‘If you write a chapter for an edited book, you might as well write the paper and then bury it in a hole in the ground.’

Book chapters: pro• a range of views come together in one volume• benefits of mutual peer review by authors• whole greater than the sum of the parts

Book chapters and online publishing
• chapters can be rescued from ‘invisibility’• option to access the whole collection or
individual chapters• same issues as monographs for access and
sustainability

OA and peer review (PR)
• traditional journal and book publishing built on PR• PR as the guarantee of quality and reputation• PR as the foundation of RAE and REF• OA does not necessarily undermine PR• BUT some OA ventures also question the value of PR (cf
PLOS-ONE and the concept of post-publication review)

What is Open Access?
![Page 31: Open access futures in the humanities and social sciences a one day conference by sage and the lse public policy group](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554fc53bb4c9050e7d8b4fd3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Most simply: No barriers to access or reuse
![Page 32: Open access futures in the humanities and social sciences a one day conference by sage and the lse public policy group](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554fc53bb4c9050e7d8b4fd3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
By “open access” to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.
Budapest Open Access Initiative
OA allows users to “copy, use, distribute, transmit and display the work publicly and to make and distribute derivative works, in any digital medium for any responsible purpose, subject to proper attribution of authorship.”

‘Gold open access’ (publishing) • Publisher makes content freely available• Content has been through peer review,
anti-plagiarism checks, etc.• Publisher may require an article
processing charge (APC)
OA publishing vs. archiving
‘Green open access’ (archiving)• Institution makes a pre-publication
version of content freely available in own repository, with no charge
• Content is released early andimmediately

Disadvantages vs. benefits
![Page 35: Open access futures in the humanities and social sciences a one day conference by sage and the lse public policy group](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554fc53bb4c9050e7d8b4fd3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• “Humanities research involves reuse of copyright material and therefore can’t use CC-BY”
Often cited CC-BY disadvantages for the humanities
• “I don’t want my work to be translated without my oversight and quality control”
• “Open access will increase the likelihood of plagiarism”
• “I will lose royalties if my book is available for free”
CC-BY: “You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).”
Fair use and fair dealing still permitted. What we really need are copyright exceptions, and to encourage the release of more material as OA.
Attribution is still required. Plagiarism is actually easier to detect when the source is openly available.
It’s early days for OA books, but current indications are that royalties are stable to higher. Publishers like UP don’t aim to profit from royalties.
![Page 36: Open access futures in the humanities and social sciences a one day conference by sage and the lse public policy group](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554fc53bb4c9050e7d8b4fd3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• “Open access means low quality peer review”
• “Citation metrics don’t work in the humanities”
• “Open access is too expensive for the humanities”
• “Open access is a threat to academic freedom”
• “Someone will create a derivative of my work and copyright it”Derivatives are allowed, and if sufficiently original can also be copyright protected. But this does not affect the copyright of the original work.
Peer review is completely independent of the distribution system. This has not happened STM.
Why not? Use of citation metrics alone is problematic in all fields. Half-lives are longer and therefore metrics need to be looked at in context.
Open access clearly increases freedom in very many areas. Mandates do not have to restrict authors to certain journals only - publishers just need to adapt.
High fees and “double dipping” need to be discouraged. APCs don’t have to be high – many OA journals don’t charge them at all, and publishers can be sustainable at low cost (see next slide).

HSS Tensions (1)
• Thinking significantly impacted by monographs
• Monographs ‘market’ is simply broken – Missingham 2013
• Journals market is functioning
![Page 59: Open access futures in the humanities and social sciences a one day conference by sage and the lse public policy group](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554fc53bb4c9050e7d8b4fd3/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
#OAREF
HSS Tensions (2)• All monograph discussions underpinned by
OUP/CUP/Yale/Rutgers etc but
• Many scholars just can’t get published by those esteemed publishers
• OA is an essential element in allowing more work to be published in monograph form

HSS Tensions (3)
• Funder/researcher relationship is much less settled in HSS than STEM
• ‘individualistic concepts of authorship that may do more to advance academic careers than collective public knowledge’ – Barron 2013

#OAREF
HSS Tensions (4)
• More published in foreign language journals and transition to OA may take longer there
• Will international mandates (EU, US, Australia) lead to overseas journals making a transition?

#OAREF
HSS Tensions (5)
• Academic freedom – freedom of expression doesn’t mean unconstrained freedom where to express – already cost and quality constraints
• However highly desirable for choice of dissemination route to be by academics helped by publishers and funders….

Innovation in Peer Review?
• Artificial scarcity no longer applies in digital environment
• Separate the “distinction phase” from “the publishing phase”
• Are alternative modes of peer review possible?
• Should peer review be “blind” (anonymous) or “open” (public)
• How does peer review differ from editorial labour?
• Could peer review take place post-publication?
• What about peer-to-peer review?

OA Journal Launch
67% of RSA income comes from publishing receipts
Regional Studies, Regional Science responds to the shift in publishing paradigm and is the next step in the Association’s strategic development
RSRS fits RSA’s development planning goals – it will reach into new markets and to younger and/or less traditional group of researchers
The landscape for RSRS includes competitor hybrid journals as well as interdisciplinary titles such as SAGE Open and there are subject specific OA journals

Open access remains a challenge to many societies
Societies need to rebalance their finances to future proof their research ecosystem contribution
Time scales are important
Issues include: licensing, embargo periods, funding streams and the global roll out of OA
BUT
There are opportunities for societies
We need to innovate and experiment, we need to think in the new paradigm not the old

Research Management and Administration
– RMAs manage and support research…
– Information (including about research outputs)– Pre-award [proposals] (incl. OA costs)– Post-award [projects] (incl. APCs)– Development / Planning (incl. pre-payment deals)– Strategy / Policy (incl. OA, RDM policies)– Assessment (incl. REF)– Metrics (incl. Citations, etc.)– Research Students (incl. E-theses)

Typical University Position
– Full Support for Open Access• In principle
– Worry about… the details, eg:• How to manage/enforce/comply with it• Particular licences (NC, ND)• Cost of Gold• Who pays / international collaboration• Providing support… academic freedom• The FUTURE implications of decisions made now…

Planning Ahead
– Reduction / redistribution of library subscriptions– Growing importance of IRs– Subject Areas repositories, eg SSRN, UKDS– Profile/influence/funding (HEI, Subject, UK)– Technical underpinnings: ORCID, FundRef, CERIF– Developing ideas: Diamond, Monographs, …– The next REF– International developments…

A Typical? UK HEI Policy– OA Policy
• Support OA (and ‘Open Science’) – prefer Green [libre?]
– Institutional Repository• Mandatory meta-data. Full Text where allowable
– CRIS – ensure automated links– Single process for Gold APC
– Internal ‘top-up’ – how much?– Prioritise areas (eg RCUK, ring fenced funding) – how?– Prioritise high quality articles – how? Journal lists?– Managed by IS/RS? – independent?
– Encourage home grown OA Journals? (eg feminists@law)– Central support for Research Data Management?

– The landscape is changing, we want to:– Produce the best research– Best support our academic staff to do it– ‘Manage’ the processes
• Have information (without asking for it… again)• To make strategic decisions about… investment
– Engage with all stakeholders– Expand eg GtR to include all UK outputs?– Developments: Open Peer Review, Social Media,– … Open Research – https://www.arma.ac.uk/resources/research-communications-open-access-research-
