  1. A national deal with Springer: an institutional view of national transition arrangements to Gold OA Kurt De BelderUniversity LibrarianDirector Leiden University Libraries & Leiden University Press Berlin7 – Paris – 2-4 December 2009

  2. UKB – Springer deal • Talks started in early 2006 (Leo Waaijers – Jan Velterop) • 27 June 2007: Letter of intent UKB/Springer

  3. Letter of intent - goals • Allow authors to gain experience with open access publishing in existing, established journals; • Allow open access media to build a solid scientific reputation; • Gain experience with 1) the economic viability of the business model whereby the publisher is paid for publication (at the point of input: pay-to-publish) rather than for access to content (at the point of output: subscriptions or access licenses); 2) the incorporation of open access in the scientific publication cycle and the consequences for all stakeholders.

  4. Letter of intent: 4 elements • Within the framework of the existing licensing agreement with UKB, Springer undertakes to offer free and immediate world-wide access to articles which have been accepted for publication in one of Springer's journals in 2007 by corresponding authors whose main affiliation is with one of the UKB members; • Springer allows for simultaneous publication of the articles in the open access institutional repositories of UKB members (DARE); • In the course of 2007, UKB and Springer will negotiate a long-term open access agreement; • The intention of both UKB and Springer is to evaluate the arrangement, which is seen as a pilot, with all stakeholders, and to actively disseminate the outcome of the evaluation.

  5. Some more details • UKB articles published in Springer journals (2007): 1.162 • Bandwidth up to: 1.250 articles, above bandwidth: extra charge per article • Bandwidth does not include articles paid for by external funders • When authors receive notice of acceptance, they can choose to exercise free Open Choice option.

  6. UKB – Springer deal • Talks started in early 2006 (Leo Waaijers – Jan Velterop) • 27 June 2007: Letter of intent UKB/Springer • Pilot prolonged for duration license agreement (2008-2009)

  7. Success criteria: Springer • Considerably more published articles in Springer journals from UKB affiliated researchers; • Considerably more downloads from Open Choice UKB articles in comparison to non Open Choice articles in the same journals; • A significant growth in the number of citations tot Open Choice articles.

  8. Success criteria: UKB • Changed attitude from funders vis-à-vis OA; • All stakeholders have developed more insight in the pros and cons of the present model and OA; • A financial model for the continuation of the experiment; • Delivery of management information; • During the year: monthly score total and by institution; • Notification about the publications to the respective University Library so that the articles can be added to the repository.

  9. Results • Springer has developed a tool

  10. Results Netherlands • 2007: 1.443 articles • 2008: 1.494 articles • 2009: 1.417 articles (so far) Leiden University • 2007: 137 articles (9,5%) • 2008: 159 articles (10,6%) • 2009: 245 articles (17,2%) (so far)

  11. Results • Springer has developed a tool • Uptake could probably be higher: • Author becomes only aware of this possibility after the article has been accepted. • University libraries have been careful promoting this • In-depth analysis still needs to be done.

  12. Way forward • Netherlands & OA • We want to continue experiment with Springer and set up similar experiments with other publishers • Discussed as part of new big deal license
