Why researchers publish their work Key Perspectives Ltd
Publishing in OA journals Key Perspectives Ltd
OA publishing intentions Key Perspectives Ltd
Self-archiving Key Perspectives Ltd
Relationship between self-archiving activity and publishing activity Key Perspectives Ltd
Length of self-archiving experience Key Perspectives Ltd
How did they learn about self-archiving? Key Perspectives Ltd
Author readiness to comply with a mandate 81% 14% 5% Key Perspectives Ltd
Mandates in place • QUT • CERN • School of ECS, Southampton University • University of Minho • University of Zurich • Compliance as expected Key Perspectives Ltd
Obeying embargoes? • Nature Physics Issue 1: • 8 primary research papers • 7 available on the web on the day of publication (1 not available except in jrnl) • 4 had postprints in arXiv • 2 had preprints in arXiv • 2 had Nature’s own PDF on author websites • Citations: postprints -1,5,0,3 preprints 3,0 • (physics research/pub cycle is moving very fast) Key Perspectives Ltd
So much for research articles Something else is happening here Key Perspectives Ltd
An institutional repository provides researchers with: • Secure storage (for completed work and for work-in-progress) Key Perspectives Ltd
An author said… “This is a very handy way to keep all of one’s work together and findable, which helps me as much as anyone else.” Key Perspectives Ltd
An institutional repository provides researchers with: • Secure storage (for completed work and for work-in-progress) • A location for supporting data that are unpublished Key Perspectives Ltd
Mandates on data sharing • National Institutes of Health • NASA • NSF • OECD • UK Research Councils • Wellcome Trust • Nature • ICMJE …. Key Perspectives Ltd
An institutional repository provides researchers with: • Secure storage (for completed work and for work-in-progress) • A location for supporting data that are unpublished … • … and other things Key Perspectives Ltd
An institutional repository provides researchers with: • Secure storage (for completed work and for work-in-progress) • A location for supporting data that are unpublished • One-input-many outputs (CVs, publications) • e-science (e-research) domains Key Perspectives Ltd
e-Science (and e-research) ‘The large scale science that will increasingly be carried out through distributed global collaborations enabled by the Internet.’ RCUK’s e-Science Programme Key Perspectives Ltd
‘Atkins’ report ‘The primary access to the latest findings in a growing number of fields is through the Web, then through classic preprints and conferences, and lastly through refereed archival papers’. Key Perspectives Ltd
Crystallography • 30m known compounds; 5m XRC-able • 2.5m investigated but only 350K curated by the World Data Centre • NCC can solve 10-15 crystals per day, but it a traditional paper has 2 datasets in it and takes 3 days to write • IUCr backing IRs as a way of publishing crystallographic data
IUCr • Helping to roll out the NCC’s archive to other universities (ICL, Cam, N-u-T by Xmas) • Harvesting across these to collate and validate • Building own repository for those without • Registering datasets with DOI agencies • Linking data to other relevant datasets
Citation and impact studies • Lawrence 2001 (computer science) • Kurtz 2004 (astronomy) • Brody & Harnad 2004 (all disciplines) • Antelman 2005 (philosophy, politics, electrical & electronic engineering, mathematics) • Wren 2005 (biomedicine) • Opcit project (http://opcit.eprints.org/oacitation-biblio.html) Key Perspectives Ltd
New scientometric measures • ISI ‘times cited’ • Measures of correlation of downloads and citations • New measures of impact and new ways of measuring linkages and trends in the research literature Key Perspectives Ltd
