For phd’s: policy & prestige
Ariane Betti: “Let's keep our copyright.
Let's put our publications online available in repositories.
Let's choose the journals that have the best Open Access policies.
And let's create new Open Access journals. At some point in the future there will be no distinction what so ever between prestige and Open Access. Because the future is Open Access.”

RUG strategy
The reputation of the journals in which our researchers publish is more important than the sheer number of publications.
In this regard, each academic field has its own standards.
The accessibility of publications is also an important factor.
Thus, the University is a strong supporter of the open access publishing model – a formula that is continually improving.
NWO
Policy NWO MaGW 2011-14 p. 7:
› Open access to research output is an important issue.
› Participation in OAPEN:
European project for OA-monographies. › Find out how the call by the board of NWO to
facilitate that research financed by MaGW funding is published in Open Access.
Key issues in the NWO policy 1
NWO stimulates researchers to choose for the Open Access Golden Road
publish in scientific (academic) Open Access journals with a peer review system
Motto for the golden road: If you can do it, do it.
›
Key issues in the NWO policy 2
› In (sub-)disciplines where this is not possible:
› NWO stimulates researchers to use the Open Access Green Road:
› deposit (pre)publications in a public database, for instance a repository of their own discipline and/or of their universities
Europe
2030: 90% Open Access
EU Open Access pilot, FP7
› In seven areas:energy, environment, health, information and communication technologies, research e-infrastructures , science in society, and socioeconomic sciences and humanities
› deposit peer-reviewed research articles or final manuscripts;
› make their best effort to ensure open access to these articles • within 6 months (health, energy, environment, information
and communication technologies, research infrastructures• or 12 months (science in society, socioeconomic sciences
and humanities) after publication.

Impact
A work's research impact is an indication of
how much it contributes to further research by other scientists and scholars –
how much it is used, applied and built upon.
“OA Impact Advantage”› articles accessible free for all on the web are
cited significantly more.
› This “OA Impact Advantage” has been found in all fields.
› Hence OA is not just about public access
rights or the general dissemination of knowledge: It is about increasing the impact and thereby the progress of research itself.
metrics
› Swan, A. (2010) The Open Access citation advantage: Studies and results to date.
› new OA metrics for monitoring, analyzing, evaluating, crediting and rewarding research productivity and progress
› Article level metrics• André Aleman, PLOS
› Web of Science vs Google Scholar• Afscheidsrede Bert Klandermans

Practice & discussion
Think of an article you are planning to publish.
What new perspectives and which hurdles do you perceive when you look for the best options to make your work available in Open Access?
• Are there (high-impact) Open Access journals?• Can you negotiate with the publisher to be
allowed to publish a version online?• What policies and initiatives on Open Access
are taken by publishers or researchers in your field?
