  1. Jisc Open Access Good Practice WorkshopOptions for administrative efficiencies in OA implementation Kara Jones Library : University of Bath 17 June 2014

  2. The pitch: • ‘Options for administrative efficiencies in OA implementation’ • Expectation of increased costs, both financial and administrative during the transition from subscription to an OA model for the journal market. • Where are the administrative overheads and how can they be reduced? • Look at workflows for various types of APC payment options and pinpoint where institutions may make savings in staff and administrative costs. • Pilot of recommendations and development of data to help with projected staffing arrangements to deal with OA payments. • Payment effects on stakeholders – not transferring the load to authors/ publishers /etc. • Look at workflows for reporting on Open Access and potential reductions in administration.

  3. Not in scope: • Actual APCs charged by publishers (although we will investigate whether pre-pay bundles skew or change the responsiveness of the APC market) • Off-setting of APCs to subscription costs • Technical specifications for metadata exchange

  4. More: • Building on Jisc APC project: compliance checklists, best practice guidelines for third party intermediaries for APC payments, case studies. • Gathering evidence on the use of: • voucher / waiver codes • pre-pay bundles and discounts • credit cards • other payment options • Gathering evidence of the administrative load on authors and publishers . • Using a methodology (Lean Six Sigma) to guide improvement in processes, reduce wasted/redundant workflows and making systems work better. • Guidance or solutions suggested should be scalable so as to be relevant to as wide a community as possible.
