GREEN OA and Institutional repositories’ infrastructure are CRUCIAL for OA

Reinstate IMMEDIATE DEPOSIT in its policy

ECONOMIC IMPACT
•
•
Is it wise to ask universities to contribute to block grant in current economic crisis?
Is Gold OA having an impact in current UK subscription purchasing?
HYBRID JOURNALS
•
•
RCUK to cover APCs only in pure GOLD OA (avoid double dipping)
Even if not double dipping: is UK’s subsidizing purchasing subscriptions worldwide?
APC
•
•
Asses APC costs (different in hybrid and pure OA?; is the policy inflating APCs?
Come back to use grant funds to publish (authors are more sensitive to APC costs)
•
Author’s to choose licence under which they publish

25. RESEARCH DATA. ARE WE READY?
Research librarires are
willing to contribute, but:
1. Re-skilling needed (IT,
discipline knowledge)
2. Funding needed

Scholarly Communication”:R. Kotarski, S. Reilly, S. Schrimpf, E. Smit, K. Walshe.

26. RESEARCH DATA. HOW DO WE GET STARTED (I)?
Ten reccomendations for libraries to get started with Research Data Mangement:
1.Offer research data management support, including data management plans for grant
applications, intellectual property rights ad-vice and information materials. Assist faculty with
data management plans and the integration of data management into the curiculum.
2. Engage in the development of metadata and data standards and provide metadata services
for research data
3. Create Data Librarian posts and develop professional staff skills for data librarianship.
4. Actively participate in institutional research data policy development, including resource
plans. Encourage and adopt open data policies where appropriate in the re-search data life
cycle
5. Liaise and partner with researchers, research groups, data archives and data centers to
foster an interoperable infrastructure for data access, discovery and data sharing.
27. RESEARCH DATA. HOW DO WE GET STARTED (II)?
Ten reccomendations for libraries to get started with Research Data Mangement:
6.Support the lifecycle for research data by providing services for storage, discovery and
permanent access.
7. Promote research data citation by applying persistent identifiers to research data.
8. Provide an institutional Data Catalogue or Data Repository, depending on available
infrastructure.
9.Get involved in subject specific data management practice.
10.Offer or mediate secure storage for dynamic and static research data in cooperation with
institutional IT units and/or seek exploitation of appropriate cloud services

30. CONCLUSIONS
New roles for libraries in the new Scholarly Communication
environment:
oBy being embedded in research workflow
oLeading on Open Access to Publications and Research
Data Management
oManaging funds for OA publication and dissemination
oLibrary as publisher
o Library as Open Science advocator
Availability Accept datasets for storage at
library and/or open up library
catalogue to research data sets to
allow access to data at least as
remote content.
Findability Support of persistent identifiers.
Engage in developing common metadescription schemas and common
citation practices.
Promote use of common standards and tools among researchers
Interpretability Provide metadescriptions to
datasets.
Support crosslinks between
publications and datasets
Re-usability
Be transparent about conditions
under which the data sets can be
re-used (expert knowledge needed,
software needed).
Citability
Engage in establishing uniform data citation standards.
Support and promote persistent identifiers
Curation/Preserv
ation
Transparency about curation of
submitted data.
Collaboration with data creators
and data centres.
Promote good data management
practice.
Where the Commission sees libraries:
Infrastructure for Open Access
Storing, managing and preserving research data
Authorisation and Authentication Infrastructure
Skills and new proffessions for research data
Global data e-infrastructures
