A Selected Comparison of Music Librarians’ and 19.4. Musicologists’ Self-Archivingportal Practices

Rachel E. Scott publication, for abstract: The importance of open access (OA) advocacy is well-documented in the literature of academic librarianship, but previous research shows that librarians’ OA behaviors are less conclusive. This article compares the self-archiving practices of music librarians and musicologists to see how librarians rank in OA adoption. Availabilityaccepted of articles published from 2013 to 2017 in six green OA journals in music librarianship and musicology indicates a need for continued advocacy and enhanced understanding of OA policiesand and opportunities.

which is called green OA. Although the number of OA journals continues to grow, their quality and availability across disciplines vary considerably. Many authors still choose to publish in subscription-based, rather than OA, journals. Journals funded by subscriptions increasingly support green OA.

Authorsfor in the sciences have shown strong OA participation; in comparison, scholars in the arts and humanities have lagged.2 Subject librarians, familiar with the disciplines in which they serve as liaisons and with an understanding of best practices in information science, are seemingly well-situatedaccepted not only to advocate for broader adoption of OA to their disciplinary colleagues but also to lead the way through their own practices. This study asks whether a andselected group of subject librarians—music librarians—take advantage of the opportunity afforded by green OA policies to make their published content freely available to the public online.

Several studies have shown a positive correlation between OA availability and the This number of citations to the work in question.3 Stevan Harnad, a scientist who has written extensively about OA, noted that the citation advantage is not limited to gold: “The OA advantage is the OA advantage, whether Green or Gold.”4 Robert Heaton, Dylan Burns, and Becky Thoms surveyed faculty authors at Utah State University in Logan who had published OA in 2016 to explore their motivations for doing so.5 The three researchers Rachel E. Scott 637

found that positive attitudes toward OA within one’s discipline, feelings of altruism or social responsibility, and a desire for broader reach are powerful influences. They also found that finances are important; without funding for article processing charges, many respondents place their work in journals that ask no fee. Academic librarians are increasingly encouraged to advocate for the expansion of OA. In June 2016, the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) approved the Positive attitudes toward OA 19.4. “ACRL Policy Statement on Open Access to within one’s discipline, feelings Scholarship by Academic Librarians.” That document not only encourages academic of altruism or social responsi- portal librarians to publish in OA journals but also bility, and a desire for broader recommends “depositing the final accepted manuscript in a repository to make that ver- reach are powerful influences. sion openly accessible.”6 Although the ACRL statement favors OA journals, it also provides support for green OA self-archiving. Numerous studies have investigated the OA beliefs of informationpublication, professionals and found their opinions not necessarily aligned with their practices.for Howard Carter, Carolyn Snyder, and Andrea Imre’s 2007 survey finds low self-archiving rates among library faculty: only 12 percent of library faculty respondents had archived articles in an institutional repository or on a personal or departmental website.7 In their 2009 survey, Kristi Palmer, Emily Dill, and Charlene Christieaccepted describe the distance between academic librarians’ OA attitudes and practices by noting: “While all concepts related to education were agreed to or strongly agreedand to at a level of 70% or higher . . . only 7% of respondents were involved in education campaigns.”8 This finding highlights the disconnect between librarians’ stated views and their behavior; however, one could argue that an individual might agree that something is good without feeling compelled to campaign for it. edited, In 2015, Kate Lara surveyed librarians concerning their role in the management and funding of OA. She reportedcopy a variety of perceived contributions by librarians to OA publishing, including providing access to OA content, funding article processing charges, and offering education. When asked about their role in encouraging and sup- porting OA, several respondents indicated that the library should lead OA initiatives: “These respondentsreviewed, felt that librarians were likely to be the most educated about open access and well suited for this role.”9 Holly Mercer investigated the 2008 OA publishing behaviors of academic librar- ians andpeer found that they engage at “slightly higher ratesis than peer authors, but not as often as is allowed The literature conveys a under current publisher policies.”10 Importantly for strong expectation for aca- mss.the study at hand, she also noted the responsibility of liaison librarians for OA advocacy, including the demic librarians to advo- This expectation to “advise authors to retain enough rights cate for OA and to facilitate to their published work to use in the classroom, to the participation of others. share with colleagues, and to deposit in an institu- tional or subject repository.”11 The literature conveys a strong expectation for academic librarians to advocate for OA and to facilitate the 638 A Selected Comparison of Music Librarians’ and Musicologists’ Self-Archiving Practices

participation of others. Several institutions offer library workshops or other formalized ways to teach faculty, student authors, or both about scholarly publishing platforms, copyright, and self-archiving.12 Jill Emery investigated the green OA deposit rates of five Taylor & Francis Library and Information Science (LIS) journals over a five-year period (2012–2016) and found that only 22 percent of articles were available in repositories. These results excluded content on social platforms, including Academia.edu and ResearchGate, an exception the author made, she says, because “there is also a question of legality as to whether [such content] is 19.4. truly ‘green.’”13 Two recent articles also investigated the OA availability of research on the topic of OA.14 The OA availability of LIS literature has been studied by several authors and is not the focus of the study at hand. Instead, this paper aims to compare the OAportal availability of content published in selected music library and musicology journals by librarians and music researchers. The OA availability of music research is less comprehensively documented than that of librarianship, and the state of scholarly communications in musicology is similarly harder to ascertain. Like other humanistic disciplines, musicologistspublication, have well-estab - lished and stable means of disseminating their work. There are,for however, a growing number of peer-reviewed OA music journals and publishing platforms, as well as a variety of casual social platforms on which ideas about music, musical editions, and an array of musical scholarship are shared and discussed.15 Musicologists, like their peers in librarianship and other fields, increasingly haveaccepted more, and more complex, choices to make when publishing. The discoverability, stability, and impact of newer platforms have yet to be determined and will influenceand scholars’ decisions regarding placing and self-archiving their work. Literature dealing explicitly with OA and musicology is limited. Neera Bansal compiled a list of music-related publications in the Directory of Open Access Journals, a community-curated list of OA periodicals,edited, and divided them by language and coun- try.16 Matthew Testa wrote about OA music Like other humanistic disci-copy journals,17 and Kirstin Dougan summarized plines, musicologists have well- music materials in Google Books, Google established and stable means of Scholar, and the Open Content Alliance, a publicly accessible archive of digitized texts disseminating their work.

Testa of peer-reviewedpeer OA music jour- reiterated the role of the subject librarian as is nals and publishing platforms, an OA advocate: “Subject librarians can help advise authors on questions such as whether mss. a particular OA journal is indexed in a major subject database, or whether a subscription-based journal allows self-archiving (green This OA).”19 Carol Tenopir, Elizabeth Dalton, Lisa Christian, Misty Jones, Mark McCabe, MacKenzie Smith, and Allison Fish surveyed academics across diverse disciplines and emphasized the role of librarians: “The ambivalence of researchers toward OA can serve as a teachable moment for libraries. Libraries can take the opportunity to lead conversa- tions about OA at their institutions.”20 Rachel E. Scott 639

A study at the University of California, Berkeley on the future of scholarly commu- nication includes music faculty perspectives on the challenges of academic publishing. Of particular concern is “an extremely small pool of society-run journals or presses that signify both prestige and the broadest possible audience. They are, consequentially, highly selective.”21 The author identified three such journals: theJournal of the American Musicological Society (JAMS), Music Theory Spectrum, and Ethnomusicology. These titles are not OA journals, though all three support green OA.22 In his preface to the book OA and the Humanities, Peter Suber acknowledges some of 19.4. the differences between the sciences and the humanities that have slowed OA participa- tion in the humanities. He notes higher levels of public funding in the sciences and the attendant mandate to publish OA, higher rejection rates for humanities journals, the roleportal of articles as secondary to monographs in the humanities versus their primary status in the sciences, and pervasive misunderstandings about OA in the humanities. Suber suggests that “by percentages, more humanists than scientists believe that publishing in a high-prestige non-OA journal rules out making the same work OA through an online repository.”23 publication, An incident involving the American Musicological Societyfor Listserv (AMS-L) il- lustrates some music researchers’ mixed feelings regarding changes to scholarly com- munications. The society announced in 2017 that it would discontinue the discussion list AMS-L in favor of a forum on Humanities Commons (HC), a nonprofit open access network established by the Modern Language Associationaccepted to help scholars share their work. Humanities Commons, according to its website, is “a trusted, nonprofit network where humanities scholars can create a professionaland profile, discuss common interests, develop new publications, and share their work.”24 So many members protested loss of the discussion list, however, that the AMS in 2018 replaced it with a new list called Musicology-L.25 Some of the reluctance to use Humanities Commons may have stemmed from conflating it with social media.edited, To address the complaint “I don’t want to be dis- turbed by ads, banners, and other extraneous elements of social media platforms,” AMS leadership replied: “HC hascopy nothing to do with Facebook or any for-profit platform. It is a non-profit organization, and so its website and the notification messages it generates have none of the distractions common to social media.”26 This reluctance to abandon traditional modes of communicating and sharing one’s work appears,reviewed, at least anecdotally, related to disapproval of social media. The implica- tions for researchers who lack an institutional repository are considerable; do they post to a disciplinary or personal repository that is viewed with scorn by some peers, or do they peerforfeit the opportunity to share their work early and increase the opportunity for impact?is This study provides some insight into this question and other realities of OA self-archiving. mss. Methodology This The author individually searched Google.com for the OA full text of all peer-reviewed articles published from 2013 to 2017 in three music librarianship and three musicology journals, Fontes Artis Musicae, Music Reference Services Quarterly, and Notes. 640 A Selected Comparison of Music Librarians’ and Musicologists’ Self-Archiving Practices

Journal Selection Compared to musicology, music librarianship offers few peer-reviewed journals with international reach. Accordingly, three titles were the starting part for the selection process: Fontes Artis Musicae, the journal of the International Association of Music Li- braries, Archives, and Documentation Centres; Music Reference Services Quarterly; and Notes, the journal of the Music Library Association. Fontes Artis Musicae and Notes have no announced policy for OA, but the editors of both journals confirmed that authors 19.4. may post their articles in institutional repositories following a one-year worldwide embargo.27 Music Reference Services Quarterly is a Taylor & Francis journal and supports both green and gold OA.28 portal Because music librarianship offers only three highly regarded journals to investigate, the author identified three musicology journals on the same or similar platforms and with similar OA rules. Like Music Reference Services Quarterly, the Journal of Musicologi- cal Research is a Taylor & Francis periodical that supports both green and gold OA. Like Fontes Artis Musicae, Acta Musicologica is the journal associated withpublication, the international organization representing its discipline. Like Notes, the Journal of the American Musicologi- cal Society is the official periodical of the American organizationfor representing the field. All support green OA and allow authors to post their work to a repository. The embargo periods differ, however, withActa Musicologica, Fontes Artis Musicae, and Notes requiring a year after publication before an article can be uploaded and the Journal of the American Musicological Society mandating six months post-publicationaccepted before sending an article to funding-body archives.29 and Article Searching The author copied and pasted into a spreadsheet article citation information from the tables of contents on individual journaledited, Web pages. Each journal contains a variety of document types, and approaching them individually allowed the author to gain famil- iarity with the journals’ idiosyncrasiescopy and standard practices. Several studies have confirmed that article databases do not index all available content, and database filters often improperly include or exclude content.30 Copying the article data also allowed the author to remove content that had been grouped with, but was not actually, a full- length, peer-reviewedreviewed, article, including introductory essays, reports, and other features. The author searched article titles in quotation marks in Google’s default search. She decided against the exclusive use of Google Scholar or browser extensions such as Koperniopeer and Unpaywall. Margaret Markland notes that “a simple Google search” finds moreis comprehensive results than Google Scholar.31 For this study, comprehensive results were preferred and indeed yielded some unexpected results. When Google returned no mss.results beyond the subscription version of the article, the author confirmed the lack of OA full text by searching Google Scholar. Investigating both databases confirmed the This initial Google search findings; in no instances did Google Scholar yield OA full text when Google did not. All searches took place in December 2018 or January 2019. The author checked outside her institution’s Internet Protocol range to ensure that institutional subscription content would not be included in the search results. Rachel E. Scott 641

Data Recording Because librarians occasionally publish in musicology journals and music scholars fre- quently do so in music library journals, the profession of the first author, as indicated in either the article or the issue’s contributor information, was recorded in the spreadsheet. If a profession was not supplied, the investigator searched the affiliation or educational information. Authors who could be considered both music researchers and information professionals, as well as vendors and all others, were labeled “others.” The availability 19.4. of OA full text, the type of repository (institutional, personal, or disciplinary), and the URL at which the OA full text was available were also copied in the spreadsheet. If the full text was posted or harvested in a possible violation of copyright, that URL was alsoportal recorded.

Limitations

This is a selected study and does not aim to be representative of all publication,disciplines or other - wise generalizable. Because only three journals for music librarianship have international impact, this is a small sample. Admittedly, music librarians publishfor outside the selected music library journals, just as music researchers do outside the chosen musicology jour- nals. Additionally, some flexibility was needed to assign labels because a few individuals did not share their affiliations or credentials. Finally, multiple versions of a work may be available online, and comparing them was beyondaccepted the scope of this study. The author noted, for example, that a PhD dissertation turned up when the article “John Williams: Paraphraser or Plagiarist?” was searched.32 Althoughand the dissertation author had posted that document to an institutional repository, he did not separately upload the individual article published in Journal of Musicological Research. edited, Results

The sample of 361 articlescopy was almost evenly divided, with 179 articles in musicology journals and 182 articles in music library journals. A total of 88 of these (24.4 percent) were deposited by authors in institutional, disciplinary, or personal repositories. De- spite low OA deposit rates, many articles were indeed available in full text; the author found the fullreviewed, text of 197 articles, just over half, by searching Google. Seventy-two of 88 articles in Fontes Artis Musicae and 55 of 58 articles in Notes were freely available online. However,peer their availability did not result from the authors opting to self-archive the ac- ceptedis version. Only 15.9 percent of articles in Fontes Artis Musicae and 13.8 percent of those in Notes had been uploaded to a personal, disciplinary, or institutional repository. In both cases, the majority of these articles were hosted on thefreelibrary.com, with the mss.copyright statement in place: “No portion of this article can be reproduced without the express written permission from the copyright holder.”33 Figure 1 presents a representa- This tive example from thefreelibrary.com. The Journal of Musicological Research and Music Reference Services Quarterly support gold OA. Taylor & Francis, the publisher of both journals, confirmed, however, that no authors had taken advantage of the paid OA option offered during the period under consideration in this study. 642 A Selected Comparison of Music Librarians’ and Musicologists’ Self-Archiving Practices

indicates different preferences. Of 27 articles from librarians, 23 were in institutional repositories. Of 56 articles from music researchers, 40 were in personal repositories. A chi-square test was conducted in Excel to see if profession and OA deposit were related. A result of 0.94426075 indicated no evidence against the null hypothesis; that is, there was no evidence that the categorical variables of profession and OA deposit rate were linked. 19.4. Discussion

In their 2014 analysis of the openness of LIS journals, Micah Vandegrift and Chealsye Bowley identify three means of effecting change, the first of which is “exercise the portalright to self-archive every piece of scholarship published in LIS journals, or better yet never give those rights away in the first place.”34 Given how well-established subscription jour- nals are, the encouragement to self-archive all content in green OA journals seems an excellent Music Reference Services start. Indeed, this was the impetus for the study Quarterly updatedpublication, its form ac- at hand. As coeditor in chief of Music Reference ceptance lettersfor to include its Services Quarterly, a journal that supports green OA, the author of this study was interested in OA policies and to encourage ensuring that journal authors self-archived their authors to share their work to work. Given the findings, she began to work increase their impact. with her coeditor in chief to more proactively accepted share the OA policies and opportunities toand all authors whose work the journal accepted. To this end, Music Reference Services Quarterly updated its form acceptance letters to include its OA policies and to encourage authors to share their work to increase their impact. Many scholars have questionededited, whether expanded green OA participation is a vi- able path forward. In 2017, Toby Green wrote in an opinion piece in Learned Publishing, “It is time to recognize that,copy in this age of digital disruption, there must be something structurally wrong with an approach that after two decades of collective effort has yet to reach base camp.”35 Vandegrift and Bowley also seem reluctant to accept green OA participation as the path forward. Their third recommendation for effecting change was for LIS editors to “work diligently to adapt the policies and procedures for the journals reviewed, we control to align with our professional principles of access, expansive understanding of copyrights, fair use, and broad reusability.”36 Although a worthy endeavor, this pro- cess willpeer likely face obstacles, especially for journal editors affiliated with commercial publishersis rather than associations, societies, or university presses. SHERPA/RoMEO statistics indicate that 81 percent of journal publishers support mss.some form of self-archiving as of January 1, 2019. However, the RoMEO database is not infallible; three of the six journals in this study were incorrectly listed. Searching This SHERPA/RoMEO for Acta Musicologica yields no results, and both Fontes Artis Musicae and Notes are listed as “ungraded” journals. The editor of Fontes Artis Musicae reported that he had “tried to register with SHERPA/RoMEO, to no avail.”37 Only the Journal of Musicological Research, Journal of the American Musicological Society, and Music Reference Services Quarterly are accurately listed as RoMEO green journals. 646 A Selected Comparison of Music Librarians’ and Musicologists’ Self-Archiving Practices

Much library literature on OA includes assumptions that academic institutions have, or should have, an institutional repository. As Tenopir and her coauthors acknowledge, the cost of implementing and maintaining an in- The cost of implementing and stitutional repository is substantial and can serve as an OA deterrent.38 In fact, many colleges and maintaining an institutional universities have no repository, and interested repository is substantial and authors must post content to a personal or dis- 19.4. can serve as an OA deterrent. ciplinary repository.

The author did not search SciHub, a website that provides millions of scientific papers and books,copy often bypassing copyright rules, and some of the content studied may also be available there. Julie Arendt, Bettina Peacemaker, and Hillary Miller recently came to a similar conclusion, namely that searching “Google for free articles likely uncovered copies in violation of copyright or publication agreements.”41 This problem may reviewed,not be the work of nefarious individuals or platforms; some authors may post the content they created against contractual restrictions, and others may upload their work without understanding their publication agreements. peer is Conclusion mss.As the first comparison of subject librarian behaviors to those of the disciplinary scholars, this study fills a gap in the knowledge about self-archiving practices of both groups and This provides a snapshot of OA support among both groups. The findings suggest a need for continued advocacy and enhanced understanding of green OA policies and opportunities, as well as a continued assessment of personal repository platforms such as Academia. edu and ResearchGate. Authors who wish to self-archive their work should have stable and easily navigable options for doing so. Librarians have a role in facilitating author Rachel E. Scott 647

participation in self-archiving, regardless of where the author chooses to post content, by promoting the practice in workshops, online guides, and one-on-one consultations. Commercial journals are part of the current scholarly publishing landscape. Sev- eral subscription-based periodicals have expanded rights over the past decade to allow authors to post Authors who wish to self- content to online repositories or to retain copyright archive their work should of their work.
