organizing such a nice LDP, which will certainly help the fellow
library professionals to meet the emerging challenges in
librarianship today and hope this trend should continue in future

Introduction
Open-access mandates have almost doubled globally that has
elapsed since Harvard’s mandate in May 2008’, Steven Harnard,
University of Southhampton, U.K. (Nature, 2009).
New trend the first International Open Access Week, 2009 at The
National Library of Sweden called Open Access, ‘promote maximum
accessibility and visibility of works produced by researchers, teachers and
students’.
Open Access Forum 2011: UNESCO
UNESCO Open Access strategy approved by the UNESCO Executive
Board 187th & 36th session of the General Conference. The invited experts from
all over the world discussed how to create a network collaborative platform to
promote Open Access to scientific information and research
India: An” announcement made by CSIR, urging the
establishment of institutional repositories in each of its more than
laboratories & conversion of all their journals to open access.” (Chan, et
al, 2009).
The above demonstrates a current worldwide interest in and
willingness to embrace open access.

Problems
‣ Rising costs of subscriptions
‣ Permission barriers imposed by publishers
‣ Barred access to the extent to research and care
‣ Lack of information
‣ Lack awareness
‣ Lack of interest and willingness to do
The now-annual event has been expanded from a single day to
accommodate widespread global interest in the movement toward open, public
access to scholarly research results.” (OpenAccessWeek.org, 2009).
Information scientist Mikael Laakso, Hanken School of Economics, Helsinki,
his colleagues, found the number of fully open-access journals growing at
around 15% every year as new journals are founded and subscription journals
switch to the open-access model
The open-access publishing model has proven itself to work
Laakso divides the history of open access into three phases. First the
pioneering years of 1993–99, most open-access journals "home-brew" efforts,
by individuals and hosted on university servers. Next the innovation years, the
birth of publishers the Public Library of Science and software infrastructure that
makes it much easier to launch a digital journal
cont…

Since 2005, Laakso says, innovation has slowed but growth continues
— the consolidation phase. Following this trend, last week Nature Publishing
Group (NPG) launched Scientific Reports , an author-pays, open-access, onlineonly
journal, which reviews papers on technical soundness rather than impact.
Needs
To resolving the deep knowledge gap lies in creating a global
knowledge base & essential research emanating from both research
communities in developing countries as well as from ‘international’ research.
To develop a better understanding of the common characteristics of OA
scholarly publishing and citation network
Significance/OPPORTUNITY
‣ Empowering authors with content creation using Tools that are not constrained
by the paper metaphor so that, no matter what happens on the publisher's side
of the transaction, authors can use and re-use their work as flexibly as possible.
‣ The technology now exists for authors to transcend the limitations of paper
formatting (Sefton, 2009),
‣ Strengthening research capacity in developing countries is one of the most
effective and sustainable ways of advancing, development and helping correct
the gap in research (Chan, et al, 2009)

OPEN ACCESS
Free to access, Free to reuse, Creative Commons license, OPEN
ACCESS = Free Access + Re-use
Definition of OA
No subscription or license required to access the electronic edition of the
journal Licensing agreement that allows free use and re-use (downloading,
sharing, printing copies, use of tables and figures, possibility for text-mining, etc.)
at least for non-commercial/scholarly purposes.
Changing metaphors Knowledge as ”paper” Knowledge as ”product” and
”property” Created by scientists Owned by publishers Archived by libraries --
John Wilbanks, Science Commons, IATUL, 2007
New Metaphors Knowledge = NETWORK Knowledge = infrastructure ”A
better reflection of the reality of knowledge” -- John Wilbanks, Science

Open Access (OA) is the provision of free access to peer-reviewed,
scholarly and research information to all. It requires that rights holders grant
worldwide irrevocable right to copy, use, distribute, transmit and make derivative
works in any format for any lawful activities with proper attribution to the original
author. (Unesco, 2011)
OA is about freedom, flexibility and fairness

Advantages: Ex. On-line journals
‣No problem of space
‣A constraint for print journals
‣Unlimited use of colour images, figures, tables
‣No need for limits on references (word counts)
‣Access to original data
‣Multimedia (Audio/podcasts and Video)
‣Hyperlinking and Text mining
‣Plagiarism
‣Online publication - easier to plagarize and be detected
‣Software programs to detect plagarism
‣Free and priced
‣Crossref Crosscheck
‣Theft of ideas is unethical
‣Debate over reuse of content for results and methods
‣Self-plagiarism
‣Digital manipulation of images
‣Ranges from enhancing the clarity of results presented to producing fraudulent data.
‣Article usage
‣Page views, downloads
‣Media and blog coverage about the article
‣Social tools
‣Social bookmarks e.g. Connotea, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
‣Reader evaluation

Why Open Access
Exploring the characteristics of formal scholarly communication on web
becoming more important due to increasing numbers of authors, journals, and
institutions publish and self-archive their research results online.” (Kousha,
2009).
OA publishers lacked a voice in public debates about scholarly
communications and Open Access
Open Access had become an established part of the publishing landscape, it
was time to address practical issues
Who are the beneficiaries
To scientists, Faculty, educator, students, scholars, researchers, publishers,
aggregators, public…
Nations where academic, medical and non-profit research institutions have
limited resources,
Libraries of inadequate funds to subscribe to scientific literature,
Valuable in advancing the public understanding of science, knowledge...
The demand for open access publishing is growing fast and has powerful
support from the scientific community. (Scientific organizations, academic
institutions and public sector are publicly funded).

What way
Open Access uses information and communication technology (ICT) to
increase and enhance the dissemination of scholarship.
Books, Journals, Reports, Conference papers, Research papers, Technical
Reports, Project Reports, Theses & Dissertations, Institutional Publications,
Intellectuals Properties, Databases, etc.

access policies from all types of research funders, international higher education
community and the general public.
Barbara Fister believes “change is in the wind” as evidenced, “100s institutions
have passed open access mandates
Unesco Mandate
Conclusions:
Barriers still exist and much more research is needed.
Need to develop uniform standards and best practices
Need to bring together the OA publishing community
Need to share information and work collectively

The growth rate is portrayed as dramatic, but it's not dramatic at all if the goal is
100% open access," says Stevan Harnad, a cognition researcher at the University of
Southampton, UK. Other ways to make papers freely accessible, such as selfarchiving
and hybrid journals, which allow authors to choose whether to pay for open
access, are also growing only linearly, he says. "The rate is much too low for the
needs of research."

PLoS ONE
(Nature Publishing Group) 2010 published 6,749 papers, world's largest
journal, authors and readers like the model of a broad-based journal with light peer
review.
The trends "show the success of open access", says Peter Suber, director of
the Open Access project Public Knowledge in Washington DC.
The growth rate is portrayed as dramatic, but it's not dramatic at all if the goal
is 100% open access," says Stevan Harnad, a cognition researcher at the
University of Southampton, UK. Other ways to make papers freely accessible,
such as self-archiving and hybrid journals, which allow authors to choose whether
to pay for open access, are also growing only linearly, he says.
What is not known is whether open-access journals are competing with
subscription journals, or whether they have opened up a publishing niche. Harnad
believes that most open-access journals are new ventures.
Institutions and funders — who have led the demand for open access — must
mandate grantees to deposit papers published in subscription journals in open
repositories. This would free up resources to support author-pays open access.
"Publishers won't convert until the money is available to pay them," he says. Cont..

Unfortunately now too many open access journals are mushrooming &
publishing low standard papers just by taking money. Being freely available such
publications are dangerously affecting the science.
