Corina Logan, 2018 Roorick, June 2020 Why do we need Open Access?
KEEPING KNOWLEDGE BEHIND BARRIERS HARMS SCIENCE – ONLY PURPOSE: PROFIT
TEMPORARY AND PARTIAL WE DON’T KNOW WHICH CLOSED PAPER ACCESS ≠ OPEN ACCESS TODAY COULD BE INSPIRATIONAL TOMORROW
THE TIME FOR FULL OPEN ACCESS WAS YESTERDAY, THE CHANCE TO LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKE IS NOW …policies
1070 policies European Commission, Erc, MIT, Harvard, CERN, Telethon, World bank…

… transparency on public funds… Benefits / more knowledge
…anything is immediately VISIBLE on Google …increased and faster circulation of ideas… BOOSTING THE CREATION OF KNOWLEDGE Benefits / real impact

OPEN ACCESS IN ITALY (PERCEPTION) - JOURNALS ONLY - ALWAYS PAYING FOR PUBLISHING - ALWAYS PREDATORY PUBLISHERS Green road – self-archiving
Author self-archives in an Open Access repository his/her final version of the paper, wherever it was published, according to copyright agreements Green road – self-archiving
82% of international publishers allows some kind of selfarchiving (Elsevier, Wiley, Springer…); list:
SHERPA RoMEO
…possible limitations: - no pdf with the publisher’s layout - embargo period requested
ONLY IF you have signed a copyright transfer agreement… if not, the author is the rights holder E.Giglia, Open Access, ovvero... Aviano 23 settembre 2015 AUTHORS DON’T HAVE TO CHANGE THEIR HABITS • YOU CAN GO ON PUBLISHING IN THE MOST REPUTATED JOURNALS/SERIES, as requested by reserach assessment exercises • then you make the content free by self-archiving your final version of the work © Mel Brooks YOU-CAN-DO-IT!!!!!!!
YOU CAN DO OPEN ACCESS THEY ARE NOT MUTUALLY WHATEVER THE CRITERIA OF EXCLUSIVE!!! RESEARCH EVALUATION Green road
Why in an Open Access repository? It’s FAIR - provides a unique and persistent ID (handle), VS personal page - long-term preservation - is no-profit VS Research Gate / Academia.edu -THEY CAN CLOSE TOMORROW - THEY CAN BE BOUGHT TOMORROW …two of a kind

https://www.fosteropenscience.eu/node/2331 Still in need of information? Gold road Publishing Open Access
• you have to change your publication venue
• choose one of more than 15.000 Open Access https://doaj.org/ journals listed in DOAJ, Directory of Open Access Journals • 27% of the journals require Article Processing Charges, [250 to 2900 $] • [bear in mind: even traditional publishers ask for fees for coloured figures, pages over…] Pay attention!
Subscriptions APC - paid every year - paid once and forever - EVERY INSTITUTION PAY - PAID ONLY BY THE FOR THE SAME AUTHORS’ INSTITUTION CONTENT - OPEN the content - increase every year to all - CLOSE the content for those who have no subscription
DON’T MIX - NATIVE OPEN ACCESS PUBLISHERS [NO REVENUE BUT APCs] - TRADITIONAL PUBLISHERS OFFERING AN «OPEN OPTION» [MAIN REVENUE STREAM IS STILL SUBSCRIPTIONS, … SO DOUBLE DIPPING] Are OA journals different?
PUBLISH DATA WITH THE ARTICLE - TRANSPARENCY - REPRODUCIBILITY
PUBLISH REVIEWS WITH THE ARTICLE - TRANPARENCY - PIECES OF KNOWLEDGE
PUBLISH UNDER CREATIVE COMMONS LICENCES - REUSE - TEXT AND DATA MINING
PUBLISH QUICKLY
(OFTEN) PUBLISH IN MACHINE-READABLE FORMATS - TEXT AND DATA MINING … transparent peer review Predatory? ONLY 2%-5% QUALITY DEPENDS ON EDITORIAL PROCESS NOT BUSINESS MODEL (Springer 107 retractions for false review, IF REVIEWS Elsevier 7 journals retracted, paid by Big Pharma) WERE PUBLIC…
…AND IF YOU WEREN’T UNDER THE PUBLISH OR PERISH PRESSURE, WOULDN’T YOU BE MORE CAREFUL IN CHOOSING YOUR PUBLICATION VENUE? …a classic judgement is better

Gold road is not the «Open Choice» offered by traditional commercial publishers (Elsevier, Springer, Wiley…)
paying a 3000 $ APC, your single article becomes Open Access, but the journal is still by subscription
so, you pay twice…
you have to use it only if the funder asks for a shorter embargo period [in Horizon2020!]
[TO BE AVOIDED – YOU GET THE SAME RESULT SELFARCHIVING FOR FREE] …a game changer?
