  • Case Studies
    JUNE 1, 2015 Education, Research and Open Access in Denmark PASTEUR4OA PROJECT CRISTIN Jens H. Aasheim, Nina Karlstrøm Education, Research and Open Access in Denmark Education, Research and Open Access in Denmark The following is a short presentation of the education system, research and Open Access in Denmark. As regional coordinator for the Nordic region, CRIStin (Current Research Information System in Norway) was asked to write a case study of Denmark. This study is based in large on data and statistics provided by the Danish Key Node, Anne Sandfær, and the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science. Summary As one of the countries to focus on Open Access quite early, Denmark was off to a head start. E.g. the Danish government appointed an Open Access Committee to recommend steps on how to implement the transition to Open Access. But progress has been time-consuming. However, several of the suggested recommendations have already been, or are now being implemented. National policies, joint policies for the Danish Research Councils and tools for monitoring Open Access output are some examples. The main focus of the Danish Open Access effort has been directed towards repositories, depositing and the so called green route. The research and scholarly communication system of the country Denmark has a population of 5.6 million, 7.5% of which have a university/college level education of five years or more. There has been a steady increase in output of the Danish research education programs, from over 1200 finished PhDs in 2009 to over 1600 in 2012. These graduate from one of the 8 universities, 7 university colleges or 4 university hospitals in Denmark.

  • Does Openness and Open Access Policy Relate to the Success of Universities?
    Information Services & Use 33 (2013) 87–91 87 DOI 10.3233/ISU-130707 IOS Press Extended abstract Does openness and open access policy relate to the success of universities? Pekka Olsbo Jyväskylä University Library, Jyväskylä, Finland E-mail: pekka.olsbo@jyu.fi Abstract. This study takes a closer look at the Ranking Web of Universities and Ranking Web of Repositories rankings and tries to examine if there is a connection between these two rankings. Study is done by analyzing the success of University of Jyväskylä and the institutional repository JyX of the University in these rankings. Comparison shows that the JyX archive plays an important role in University’s success especially when analyzing the presence and openness of the University. By analyzing the success of eight European countries in these rankings and cross reading these findings with the development of relative citation impact shown in a report by the Finnish Academy, some interesting common trends can be seen. The same three countries Finland, Denmark and Norway seem to be on their way up in all comparisons. Open Access activities in these countries can be seen as one explaining factor. Keywords: Institutional repositories, Jyx, open access, open access policy, openness, Ranking Web of Repositories, Ranking Web of Universities, University of Jyväskylä, university rankings 1. Introduction The cross reading and examination of the report The state of scientific research in Finland 2012 by The Finnish Academy and Ranking Web of Universities seem to show that there could be a connection be- tween the internet visibility, ranking and the relative citation impact of universities in different countries.

Society Publishers Accelerating Open Access and Plan S (SPA OPS) Final Project Report Alicia Wise and Lorraine Estelle, Information Power Ltd Abstract Wellcome, UKRI, and the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP) commissioned Information Power Ltd to undertake a project to support society publishers to accelerate their transition to Open Access (OA) in alignment with Plan S and the wider move to accelerate immediate OA. This project is part of a range of activity that cOAlition S partners are taking forward to support the implementation of Plan S principles. 27 business models and strategies that can be deployed by publish- ers to transition successfully to OA were published. We surveyed society publishers about their experience of and interest in these models, and found that transformative agreements – including models such as Subscribe to Open – emerged as the most prom- ising because they offer a predictable, steady funding stream.
