12. Effective dissemination of your work is now in your hands (at last)

13. The digital format will be the format of record (is already in many areas)

16. 56% of research-based institutions in lower-income countries - NO current subscriptions to research journals

17. Nor had they for the previous 5 years

18. Even libraries at wealthy institutions

19. We will never close the “10/90 gap” unless we change the system

21. Immediate

22. Free (to use)

25. Not vanity publishing

26. Not a ‘stick anything up on the Web’ approach

28. Institutions

29. National economies

31. More rapid and more efficient progress of science

32. Novel information-creation using new and advanced technologies

33. Better assessment, better monitoring, better management of scienceScience and scholarship are cumulative. Open Access can Accelerate their pace by allowing new connections – big or small – to be made faster SPARC 2010

38. Most usually institutional

39. Sometimes centralised (subject-based)

40. Interoperable

42. Create a global database of openly-accessible research

43. Currently >1700 globally

45. Make changes required as a result of peer review process

46. Submit final version to the journal

47. Deposit that same final version to the Leeds Met repository

48. email repository@leedsmet.ac.uk

66. Complete record of its intellectual effort

67. Permanent record of all digital output

68. Research management tool

69. Marketing tool

71. Only around 15% of research is Open Access

72. ….. so 85% is not
