2. Open Access
“By 'open access’ to this literature, we mean it’s free availability
on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download,
copy, distribute, print… the full texts of these articles…. or use
them for any other lawful purpose, without … barriers other
than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.
The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only
role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors
control over the integrity of their work and the right to be
properly acknowledged and cited.”
Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI, 2000)
3. Overview
• What is the IUPUI OA Policy?
• How has it been implemented?
• How are librarians involved?
• Policy participation by the numbers
• How you can participate
4. IUPUI Open Access Policy, 7 Oct. 2014
(Key Features)
• Harvard (2008) model policy adopted by 94 North American institutions,
including: MIT, Kansas, Duke, California, etc.;
• Opt out for any reason or no reason;
• Scholarly articles by IUPUI authors and co-authors (not monographs,
book chapters, or creative works);
• Honors current IU intellectual property policy;
• Authors retain rights;
• Nonexclusive permission to share at IUPUI ScholarWorks (institutional
repository);
• Author’s accepted manuscript (“post-print”), usually not the publisher’s
PDF; and
• Authors choose: opt out / share / upload, but embargo:

7. Proposed workflow for liaisons
Center for Digital
Scholarship (CDS)
staff runs a weekly
database search in
Scopus
CDS staff sends
email to liaison
with faculty
members’
citations
Liaison
customizes a
template email
to send to
faculty
requesting
manuscript
Liaison forwards
manuscript to CDS
staff at:
oapoicy@iupui.edu
Faculty sends
manuscript to
the liaison (or
opts out
8. CDS staff responsibilities
CDS staff fills out
a spreadsheet
with document’s
metadata
Document is
cleaned, formatted,
and uploaded with

Discovering Citations in the Humanities
Tips:
• Set up alerts in Google Scholar,
PubMed, and Scopus;
• If faculty have a Google Scholar
profile, follow them; and
• Search about 10 authors at a time in
Google Scholar.
10. Preparing (some) metadata in Word
Librarian’s tasks:
• Check the Title and Author field
in the document’s Properties in
Microsoft Word;
• Convert document to PDF;
• CDS staff does the rest of the
metadata work
11. Questions from faculty
Doesn’t this
violate
copyright?
What about
impact factor?
How will others know
page numbers if they
are not citing from the
published PDF?
I have most of the
PDFs; do you want
me to attach them, or
is it easier to extract
them from your
databases?
Will my
publisher allow
me to archive
my book
chapter?
What do I do
when images
are separate
files from the
text?

19. Make your scholarship open
Why
• Increase your impact through a higher citation count;
• Share with the world to make it a better place;
How
• LOCKSS – “Lots of copies keeps stuff safe”: self-archive your manuscripts in
many places;
– institutional repository, your website, Mendeley, Academia.edu, etc.
• Publish in fully open access journals, i.e. PLOS;
• Go Green (publish your manuscript) if you can’t afford Gold (pay to publish OA
outright);
• Support OA efforts on your campus, especially in tenure process;
• Assign OA readings in class; and
• Encourage students to publish OA.
C: OA is free access to the full text of articles on the public internet.
Green OA is the practice of making author’s manuscripts, both pre- and post-prints, to their published articles available online. It is free to both authors and readers.
These librarians sent emails to their faculty members requesting the final, pre-publication manuscript for archiving in ScholarWorks. The authors were encouraged to reply to the email with the manuscript attached, though they were also given instructions on how to upload the file themselves via ScholarWorks.
For the citations found in SCOPUS whose subject areas did not correspond to a librarian in the charter group, the CDS sent a generic email requesting the manuscript, which was not tied to any specific person but the Library as a whole.
We compared the rate of response between the two types of communication.
C:
C: We got a faculty email list and sent an email about the Policy to all faculty, and sent postcards to their on-campus mailboxes. Our rate of return was very low.
We also visited our liaison areas (schools, departments, programs) to talk about the policy
C:
C: ScholarWorks = Institutional repository
B: After the policy passed, I worked with a few faculty members who were up for tenure and promotion and wanted to have [alternative] citation counts included in their [tenure application], which is a service we provide.
However, many faculty had questions… We put FAQs on our website, but we are dealing with a culture shift and faculty are uncomfortable with change.
C:
B:
According to Stephen DiGuilio, the ICOAH conference chair, “This conference asks the question: how can we join forces to cultivate the creativity and courage to forge a path to a more peaceful future?” Open Access publishing and the Open Access Movement is providing a very real path to a global exchange of knowledge that is more inclusive and far-reaching than the traditional publishing model.

B: Providing open access to scholarship makes our world better for everyone, especially those who need it most and those who would otherwise never have access.
As an instructor or researcher, think of creative ways you can incorporate OA in to your regular duties. As a scholar, be open to the idea of sharing your work with a worldwide audience that his hungry for information!
