National OA Policy?
Wellcome Trust and associated charities (COAF) http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/Ab
out-us/Policy/Spotlight-issues/Open-access/Charity-open-access-fund/
Will provide single block grants to 36 universities to pay for Gold OA APCs resulting from research they fund

UCL LIBRARY SERVICES
Research Councils UK
RCUK has policy on OA See http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/research/openaccess/policy/
Policy follows Finch Report in favouring Gold OA http://
www.researchinfonet.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Finch-Group-report-FINAL-VERSION.pdf
RCUK will pay block grants to universities for set proportions of their funded research outputs to be available as OA outputs
Applies to journal articles and conference proceedings, not monographs
Outputs need to have CC-BY licence attached5
UCL LIBRARY SERVICES
Research Councils UK
Independent Review of the RCUK policy now published See http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/research/openaccess/2014review/ Review questions whether there is a national UK OA policy which
academics understand Universities found it difficult to account for the first year’s RCUK
spend Much confusion about the need for CC-BY licences – with Arts,
Humanities and Social Science preferring different solution Is the RCUK policy scalable to cover all RCUK-funded research
outputs? See http://
poynder.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/ucl-vice-provost-comments-on.html for a rejoinder to the Review

UCL LIBRARY SERVICES
Game Changer?
REF 2020 has set new OA policy http://www.hefce.ac.uk/whatwedo/rsrch/rinfrastruct/oa/
Author’s peer-reviewed manuscript must be deposited in an institutional or subject repository And no later than 3 months after acceptance
Applies to journal articles and conference proceedings Respect embargo periods set by publishers Some exceptions to OA requirement allowed Policy not directly funded by HEFCE

Transition period to OA - 5 years (from 2013) Year 1: 45% of RCUK-funded outputs to be OA Year 2: 53% of funded outputs should be OA By Year 5: 75% of funded outputs should be OA Universities should establish Institutional Publication
Funds to manage the RCUK Block Grant and to fund OA for unfunded authors

Double Dipping
Countries which favour Gold OA have to pay APCs for Gold OA and journal subscriptions costs Sometimes called Double Dipping Better called Total Cost of Ownership
JISC Collections has produced a set of Principles to guide negotiations https://www.jisc-collections.ac.uk/Global/News%20files%20and%2
0docs/Principles-for-offset-agreements.pdf
17
UCL LIBRARY SERVICES
Total Cost of Ownership
Principle 2 Systems should ensure that publishers do not charge the
same institutions twice, through the payment of subscriptions and the payment of APCs
Solution is to implement offsets, either against the subscription price or against the cost of APCs
UK agreement with Springer a good model http://

Conclusions UK OA policy is a mixture of
approaches Conflicting ideas Confusing for academics
Research funders provide OA funds
Administrative costs of managing OA are not trivial
Countries need to act on Double Dipping
Advocacy is crucial to successful OA programmes

UCL LIBRARY SERVICES
Conclusions
UCL has made good progress in setting up OA mechanisms and infrastructures
UCL Press is an exciting initiative in OA university publishing
The workflow for academics in managing OA is complex and they need support
