‐ In the case of open digital repositories, a useful tool to track their own research record, a useful cv building tool (e.g. simple creation of lists of publications, presentations given, data sets and learning objects created) Universities Particularly with open digital repositories: ‐ Showcases the institution’s creative/intellectual output to the world, increasing the visibility of its research programme ‐ Higher visibility of the universities research output offers great potential to draw several constituencies’ attention : prospective staff, prospective collaborators from other institutions, prospective students, and other possible stakeholders in the public and private sector ‐ Provides a workspace and collaborative tools for large scale research projects and works in progress ‐ Presents an institutional commitment for long‐term curation and preservation of the University’s digital intellectual outputs ‐ Greatly facilitates multi/cross‐disciplinary approaches to research that, in turn, lead to more innovations and discoveries thus increasing the institution’s research output ‐ Provides a useful tool in measuring research and teaching activities at the institution Students ‐ Coursework and thesis research greatly facilitated by improved access to research literature ‐ No need to worry about being on campus network or not since all that is needed is an internet connection ‐ Access to peer‐reviewed article manuscripts or open access monograph chapters a viable alternative to course packs / or could help drive down the costs through inclusion of materials that do not require payment of royalty fees ‐ Time saved by not having to wait for inter‐library loan for research material Publishers ‐ Learned societies’ and commercial publisher’s role in reviewing, editing and distributing research is not diminished by transitioning to open access models and practices ‐ As researchers share the results of their work more widely more research and scholarship is created; publishing professionals are still needed to manage the selection and vetting of high quality research ‐ Brief embargoes of six months to a year, allow for the maintenance of healthy publishing programs 9 ‐ Since the National Institutes of Health public access mandate came into effect in 2008, many publishers work with the NIH in depositing final, published versions of articles because of (1) a preference that readers use the published versions, (2)this provides authors a competitive advantage 9 Data show that libraries will not cancel subscriptions to journals with short embargo periods. Some of reasons for this are: researchers and students require access to the scholarly literature as soon as possible, so an embargo of any length constitutes too long a delay, and journals also contain valuable information and articles beyond publicly funded research.

and a vital service, and (3) publishers’ final versions also offer the possibility of driving users to their websites for additional or similar material 10 ‐ Greater readership from broader access and visibility Libraries ‐ Presents opportunities for the library to partner with researchers, research offices, research presses, enabling librarians to position themselves as key stakeholders in the research lifecycle ‐ Extends the mission of the library to support timely, enduring, and cost‐effective access to scholarly/scientific information ‐ Extends / Affirms the library’s role as key steward of the scholarly / scientific record ‐ Gives the library flexibility in striking a balance between licensing and buying certain content, on the one hand, and participating in the creation and preservation of other content on the other, particularly the intellectual, research and creative output of students and researchers at its home institution Research funders / Policy makers ‐ A greater return on the research they invest in, allowing it to have the greatest possible impact that accrues from other researchers’ ability to find and build on it ‐ A means of tracking the research they fund ‐ Through use of tools that can search both the full text and the references contained in research articles, and which can index those citations, it is possible to calculate the impact of individual pieces of research; such tools can help track the evolution of ideas, facilitate analysis of research trends, help predict which research areas are waxing and waning, and enable more informed planning decisions in the interest of scientific progress 11 The general public ‐ Access to the research resources they have paid for and which may be important in their daily lives and educational interests ‐ Access to a fuller array of information resources enables the public to make contributions in all arenas ‐ Opens the door to contributions to science from citizen scientists as well as private sector and public sector researchers working outside of academia ‐ Access to information that provides a better understanding of current societal challenges: e.g. climate change, alternative energy sources, the current global economic downturn, etc. ‐ Access to scientific or technical information vital to small business startups ‐ Discoveries and applications resulting by building on or repurposing prior research While there are numerous benefits to distinct groups, all having an interest in research, support for open access policies and mechanisms constitute a critical national investment, economically and socially. Recent research carried out by John Houghton and colleagues at the University of Victoria in Melbourne suggests that enhanced access to the results of publicly funded research will likely result in a 10 ibid 11 Swan, op. cit. 5
