● accelerate research• G-8 Science Ministers Statement on OA (June

2013)• Global Research Council Action Plan (May 2013)

● recognition for research and researchers● positive societal impacts (Willinsky 2006)

Open Access – Flavors

GOLD●published originally as OA

• journals, monographs (full peer review, “pure OA”)• megajournals (modified peer review, “pure OA”)• articles (full peer review, “hybrid OA”)

●published originally via toll access, OA via rolling wall●3% of physics/astronomy to high 13% medicine (Björk 2009)●annual growth rate est. at 20% (Springer; Laakso et al 2011)●60% of all peer reviewed journals by 2025GREEN●Pre-print or post-print (permission)●6% of biochemistry/microbiology to high 30% earth sci (Björk 2009)OTHER●faculty websites, open digital collections, datasets●no estimates on scale

Open Access – Business Models

● pub charges; memberships; advertising;…● steady growth of author funds (institutional,

● accelerate research• interested in demonstrating value

● recognition for researchers• client-centered orientation

● societal and civic impacts• community engagement ethos

Gold OA – Roles for Libraries

● support “publishing equity” (Shieber 2008)• Compact on Open Access Publishing Equity (COPE)

content● copyright advice to institutional authors● link green to gold

• ensure deposit of library-funded articles to the IR

Beyond Gold and Green

● faculty websites• promote value-added features of institutional

repositories (preservation, discovery, metrics)

● digitized collections • libraries, researchers, community-based

● datasets• assist in developing data management plans• curating content
