VIRTUAL LUNCH GOALS
Briefly discuss what open access is, current status of open access and major issues/challenges
Cover key search tools for open access science resources
Look at the major science publisher initiatives in this area
Examine sources for open access science journals
Very briefly talk about data-sharing repositories and open access e-books
Discuss subject specific open access science databases
MORE GOALS
Discuss future trends for open access science resources
WHAT IS OPEN ACCESS
Digital, online, free of charge and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions
PloS description– “free availability and unrestricted use”—major thrusts of movement
Varying degrees of open access Plos helpful guide-- http://
www.plos.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/OAS_English_web.pdf
CURRENT STATUS OF OPEN ACCESS
Tug of War between publishers, content producers, librarians & libraries and researchers
CURRENT ISSUES AND CHALLENGES
Many different types of models for OA publishing
Explosion in number/types of OA material make it difficult to keep track of everything
Quality control varies widely—some resources are very good, some are not so great
Copyright and other re-use issues Viable ways for OA publishers to make
money
A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL POINTS
Science open access resources won’t replace high-quality science databases such as Web of Knowledge, Scopus etc.
Open access resources while free to the user have a hidden cost (albeit this maybe low) in their creation
SEARCH TOOLS – MAJOR ONES
Google Scholar – scholar.google.com Use Advanced Search features, not ideal Scirus -- www.scirus.comMaintained by Elsevier a federated search that covers journals and science related materials from the web Mendeley --
http://www.mendeley.com/research-papers/search/
Organization, collaboration and search tool—free to use-requires downloading application.
SEARCH TOOLS II– DOE RELATED
DOE Information Systems Science Accelerator-- http://www.scienceaccelerator.gov/dsa/search.html
Federated search covering DOE related research, articles and conference proceedings
Science Gov http://www.science.gov/scigov/ Searches over 50 U.S. Government science-
related databases and websites WorldWideScience.Org --
http://worldwidescience.org/wws/ Federated search that covers national and
international government science resources
SEARCH TOOLS III -- OTHERS
Open DOAR Content Search http://www.opendoar.org/search.php
Maintained by the University of Nottingham—very good quality control Open Science Repository
http://www.open-science-repository.com/search-research-papers.html
Open repository for scientific papers—not great for searching OAIster
http://oaister.worldcat.org/advancedsearch Open access project started by University of Michigan—picked up by OCLC-
MAJOR SCIENCE PUBLISHER OA INITIATIVES
Taylor and Francis http://www.tandfonline.com/search/advanced
Limit to ‘Only Content I have full access to’
Wiley http://www.wileyopenaccess.com/view/journals.html
Use search box on page
Springer http://www.springeropen.com/search
You can create free account—save searches, most search functionality, output options
MAJOR SCIENCE PUBLISHER OA INITIATIVES II
Elsevier http://www.sciencedirect.com/ Goes directly to Science Direct interface—few open access resources mixed in with for pay results—no way to sort results
Sage http://sgo.sagepub.com/cgi/collection
SCIENCE JOURNALS
BioMed Central --- http://www.biomedcentral.com/journals/bysubject
Publisher of 248 open access peer-reviewed science, technology and medicine journals.
HighWire ---- http://highwire.stanford.edu/ Publishers of 1700+ peer-reviewed science journals—older content is frequently open access
Public Library of Science-- http://www.plos.org/Advocacy organization of publisher of 7 high quality peer-reviewed open access journals. PLOS One largest peer-reviewed journal.
SCIENCE JOURNALS II Hindawi Publishing- --
http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ Publisher of 400+ peer-reviewed open access journals—search box in upper right hand corner
Copernicus Publicationshttp://publications.copernicus.org/open_access_journals/open_access_journals_l_o.htmlScientific society open access journal publisher.
Directory of Open Access Journals -- http://www.doaj.org/doaj?func=home&uiLanguage=en
Key resource, journal title search, article search as well
OPEN ACCESS DATA AND DATASETS
Explosive growth, development of many resources
Databib— http://databib.org/ Major directory of data repositories--searchable Brian Westra’s (University of Oregon library)

FUTURE TRENDS SCIENCE OPEN ACCESS
New models of peer-reviewed journal publishing
eLife http://www.elifesciences.org/about/ http://elife.elifesciences.org/
PeerJ-- https://peerj.com/ (99$ fee for researchers covers lifetime of publishing)
Many other examples as well
NEW COLLABORATIONS
Collaborations between publishers, libraries, institutions and librarians
scoap3—consortium for oa publishing in particle physics-- http://scoap3.org/
Could this be a model for the future?
HAPPENINGS IN EUROPE
UK government commission report—”Finch Report”
Come out strongly in favor of open access Requires that all journals publishing research
paid for in part or full by the government offer researchers either ‘gold’ or ‘green’ level of open access to articles starting this year
European Union following suit—Eu2020 mandate
Publishers realize that open access is here to stay
