• Deposit in repository "The beneficiary – deposit the published version or final must ensure open access (free of peer-reviewed in a charge, online access repository on the date of publication for any user) to all peer-reviewed • Ensure open access via the scientific publications repository relating to its results" – on publication, if an electronic version is available for free via the publisher – within 6 months for manuscripts – within 12 months for manuscripts in social sciences and humanities Why does EC mandate OA in Horizon 2020?

• Economic return on a 80 billion € investment! • Free publications – a basis for future research – Meta research studies using text mining and statistics – Education, translations, adaptions … • Research results are driving today’s economy – Research is the industry of the knowledge society – Companies need research results for development of services and products Open Access: Goals – problems – solutions

Goals • Free dissemination of per-reviewed scholarly information • A system for merits based on publications Problems • A journal economy based on locking in scholarly information • A merit system based on journal title prestige Solutions • Reverse the publication economy from article products to peer-review services • Judge publications by their own merits – not by the journal title – create a post-publication merit system From product to service – from reader to author

• Subscription based journals – Selling a product = toll access articles – Business idea based on a selection to readers • Open access journals – Selling a service = certification (peer review) – Business idea based on a service to authors • Paper-based journal model mixes services to readers and authors • Internet-based article model can separate the services Mega-journals: Free the article from the fetters of the journal!

• Peer-review service to the author disconnected from selection service to the reader • A growing list: – PLoS ONE – PeerJ, F1000 Research – BMJ Open, IEEE Access – SAGE Open, Springer Plus, Scientific World Journal (Hindawi) – Scientific Reports (Nature), Science Advances (Science), Royal Society Thanks for your attention
