Francesca Re Manning - CAS-IP - strategic planning Strategic Planning on adapting Open Access how to start: - make a need
- we are planning to have a system-wide OE workshop - all centers have a DB; what is missing in the centers are 'policies' - each of the centers are doing their own OA activities; we should have a much more coordinated OA unified voice across the 15 centers.. Maria: a good way to start is to apply the CIARD pathways (those that apply to my center) Fra: is they go with the 'gold oe', scientists should budget this cost involved.. CIAT: OA has been added to the performance assessment, strengthen library - TJ: we should start by drafting the benefits for management, they need to see how this actually benefit Bioversity..we need to evidence of how impact increases... Building and maintaining Digital repositories - Maria Garuccio IR= digital archive of the intellectual product created by the faculty, research staff & students of an institution IR= self-archiving (manuscripts, videos, thesis, posters) Cornel University: (arXiv.org) math, physics, computer science... IR: main softwares (should be OAI-PMH Compliancy - these come with a sub-set of metadata usually Dublin Core) - DSpace - Eprints - Fedora Commons (Cornell) - Digital Commons OA Gateways Bioversity registered in OPenDOAR, OAIster... Maintaining the IR On a survey (Swan & Brown) done to 1300 authors, they are worried about: - the quality' of self-archived articles. - Copyright infringement (Sherpa/Romeo Website) - Effects on the present scholarly publishing model - Costs that self archiving might impose to an institutional repo.. Technical Requirements, Repository Software, Repository Services (Alma Swan. E-Prints; School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton, UK. ) Open Access repositories - Eprints Where repositories are: journals, thesis, unpublished reports, conference/workshop papers, videos/images - University of Southampton - mandate to publish- 18,000 items publishes...~ 30,000 downloads/month this shows the native demand of this information, extra-usage apart from the journals. Eprints: - A repository can tell you a lot more about the information The business of digital repositories (Swain A) you can download it... - the sw offer reporting tools, per quarter/year/ referrers - sw looks between links between papers... Business issues - clear mission for the repository - resources: human, financial, time.. what u do in-house, what you do outside..who do you need to persuade? - Eprints - free but they offer trainings and help people build their repositories and they offer hosting. How to approach management about repositories?: show them that document repository is actually a management information tool for them to know what is going on with their centers, by departments, and also be able to know who is actually viewing their information: summary: Open Access produces more: visibility, usage, citations (impact)... pressure: we must demonstrate that we have a real impact and showing our work in repositories is a way to go... |
