The Gold OA Pilot: Some Basic Facts (I)

EUR 4m funding provided by the EC to support Open Access publications from post-grant FP7 projects finished no longer than 2 years ago. Maximum of three publications per project to be funded (research articles, monographs, book chapters, contributions to conference proceedings) which meet the requirements described in the Pilot policy guidelines. No publications in hybrid journals will be funded, only in fully Open Access titles. A €2,000 funding cap is in place. Pilot (soft) launched beginning of May 2015. A central funding request system available at the OpenAIRE portal, https://goldoa-pilot.openaire.eu/, for collecting requests from eligible FP7 projects, which researchers will be able to deliver either directly or via their institution.

The Gold OA Pilot: Some Basic Facts (II)

A pool of European institutions covering all OpenAIRE regions will work with LIBER during the Pilot kick-off stage in order to align their strategies for reaching out to eligible FP7 project researchers and their OA publishing workflows (including APC management). The results of the work carried out by these institutions will be presented and discussed at the LIBER 2015 Annual Conference in London, where a Gold OA Pilot workshop will be held, http://www.liber2015.org.uk/workshops/#OpenAire. There will be specific Gold OA Pilot outreach activities for the OpenAIRE NOADs in order to benefit from their collaboration for the Pilot dissemination and implementation More information on the Pilot, its planned workflows and its policy guidelines to be released soon.

The Gold OA Pilot: Some Areas to Explore

Align outreach strategies towards eligible FP7 researchers Explore researchers' attitudes towards OA publication across disciplines and OA publishing options (including gratis OA journals) Explore the feasibility of a standard workflow for central reporting on APC expenses by institutional researchers – tightly linked to progress with system (repositories, CRISs, others) ability to gradually deal with APC information mgt Explore how the very different research funding landscapes across countries impact the uptake of this initiative Technically align the way the APC information is collected and managed across institutions and countries (including centrally-managed reporting at OpenAIRE) Coordinate the strategy for disseminating the results of the Pilot's kick-off stage to the rest of European institutions

Relying on a pool of collaborating institutions (incl OpenAIRE NOADs) will offer chances to:

The Gold OA Pilot Dissemination: A Key Challenge

Institutions lie much closer to researchers, esp when already providing Gold OA funding – use webpages, forms, presentations within global institutional OA outreach. Attract researchers to specific dissemination sessions. Share examples for best practices and granted funding requests. Target Research Societies and try to have the initiative advertised and promoted. Publishers useful stakeholders too in this regard. Internal project dissemination tools: webpages, Gold OA Pilot blog, factsheets, central system reporting, Infopacks for NOADs. Explore synergies with other initiatives eg PASTEUR4OA, FOSTER. Mention the Pilot at national/regional Open Access Workgroup meetings. EC have suggested a broad notification campaign towards Principal Investigators for eligible FP7 projects

How can the Pilot be disseminated to eligible projects and researchers? Some ideas
