==Types of Open Access==
 +
Below are the generally accepted definitions of the types of open access. Also see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access
 +
===GOLD===
 +
''BORN OPEN'' - Articles are public at the moment of publication, without payment of any [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_processing_charge article processing fees] by contributors, and are then permanently archived via an [http://scholar.sun.ac.za institutional repository].
 +
 
 +
===GREEN===
 +
''EMERGE OPEN'' - Articles that were previously published under an embargo or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paywall pay-wall] or both, are then made public and permanently archived via an [http://scholar.sun.ac.za institutional repository].
 +
 
 +
===FOOL'S GOLD===
 +
''PAY TO PUBLISH'' - Articles are public at the moment of publication after payment of an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_processing_charge article processing fee] by contributors, and are then permanently archived via an [http://scholar.sun.ac.za institutional repository].

 +
A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subversive_Proposal subversive proposal] written by Steven Harnard in 1994, precipitated later by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serials_crisis serials bundle crisis], led to the beginning of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access open access movement] and the creation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutional_repository institutional research/subject repositories].

==Policy Formulation==
 +
An open access policy is usually for the [[SUNScholar/Capacity Building/Digital Repository Content Management|repository director]] to formulate in collaboration with the research offices and top institutional management.
 +
 
 +
[http://otwartanauka.pl/in-english/experts-on-open-access?id=1090 The essential features of an effective Green OA mandate are the following].
 +
 
 +
(1) It must require deposit immediately upon acceptance for publication (not after an embargo).
 +
 
 +
(2) It must require deposit of the author's refereed, accepted final draft (not the publisher's PDF).
 +
 
 +
(3) It must require deposit in the author's institutional repository (not institution-externally).
 +
 
 +
(4) Immediate deposit must be made a prerequisite for future research performance evaluation.
 +
 
 +
(5) The authors institutional repository must implement the "copy-request feature", if embargoes are enabled.
 +
 
 +
(6) The immediate-deposit need not be immediate-open-access so long as the "copy-request feature" is implemented.

"Ek kan my nie indink wat ek sonder ''Open Access'' sou doen nie. Dit is gebruikersvriendelik, betroubaar en bevat bewysgebaseerde inligting vir alle omgewings in navorsing. As mens jouself net indink die hoeveelheid inligting wat daagliks gepubliseer word en nie weet wat betroubaar is en wat nie is ‘n databasis soos BMJ ideaal vir goeie inligting." - '''Dr Theo Nell''', [[Faculty_of_Arts_and_Social_Sciences/Department_of_Philosophy|Dept.

"Fundamentele inligting, kreatiewe werk  en die resultate van navorsing behoort nie bloot eenvoudig ‘n kommoditeit te wees nie, dit moet die bron vir verdere kreatiwiteit, navorsing en ontwikkelling te wees. (Wat nie beteken ons moet nie navorsers en kunstenaars vergoed nie, hulle moet immers ook eet en drink natuurlik..) Maar ons kan nie in vandag se digitale wêreld toelaat dat materiële onvermoë enige persoon weerhou van toegang tot kennis en inligting nie. En daarbei het oop toegang twee wonderlike voordele vir ernstige navorsers/kunstenaars-as-navorsers. (a)  Dit bevorder belangrike kruisbestuiwing onder diegene met ‘n openheid tot laterale denke, veral  wanneer alle inligting oor ‘n saak, uit alle gebiede,  openlik en vrylik beskikbaar is vir gebruik in ‘n projek en (b) dit maak dit wat jy geskep, bevind  of ontwikkel het soveel makliker en wyer deel van die grotere internasionale debat. Daar is ‘n soort bevrydende bemagtiging hierin." - '''Prof Temple Hauptfleisch''', [http://sun025.sun.ac.za/portal/page/portal/Arts/Departemente1/drama Departement Drama], [http://sun025.sun.ac.za/portal/page/portal/Arts/Afrikaans Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences]

According to ''Wikipedia'' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access_%28publishing%29) "In publishing, open access (OA) is free online access to articles that have traditionally been published in scholarly journals. Most open access material in this context is distributed via the World Wide Web.

An Institutional Repository is an online locus for collecting, preserving, and disseminating -- in digital form -- the intellectual output of an institution, particularly a research institution.
+
<html5media height="360" width="640">File:6-oa-myths.mp4</html5media>
  
−
For a university, this would include materials such as research journal articles, before (preprints) and after (postprints) undergoing peer review, and digital versions of theses and dissertations, but it might also include other digital assets generated by normal academic life, such as administrative documents, course notes, or learning objects.
+
===Citation Benefits===

====[http://sparceurope.org/oaca The Open Access Citation Advantage]====
−
#to collect content in a single location;
+
Click on the heading above.
−
#to provide open access to institutional research output by self-archiving it;
 
−
#to store and preserve other institutional digital assets, including unpublished or otherwise easily lost ("grey") literature (e.g., theses or technical reports).
 
  
−
===The origin of the notion of an "institutional repository" [IR] are twofold:===
+
Also see: http://www.eigenfactor.org
  
−
# IRs are partly linked to the notion of digital interoperability, which is in turn linked to the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) and its Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). The OAI in turn had its roots in the notion of a "Universal Preprint Service,"[1] since superseded by the open access movement.
+
===Communities of Practice===
−
# IRs are partly linked to the notion of a digital library -- i.e., collecting, housing, classifying, cataloguing, curating, preserving, and providing access to digital content, analogous with the library's conventional function of collecting, housing classifying, curating, preserving and providing access to analog content.
+
Wenger, et al (2002) defines a Community of Practice (COP) as a group of people who share a common interest and who come together to fulfil both individual and group goals.

This project is called [http://maps.repository66.org Repository 66] and is based on data provided by ROAR and the OpenDOAR service developed by the SHERPA. Data from this service indicates that as of 2007[update], the most popular IR software platforms are Eprints, DSpace, and Bepress.

Back to Guidelines - Step 1

Teach a scientist to be open and you feed science for a lifetime.
~ Anon ~

Publicly funded research should be permanently archived, immediately upon acceptance for publication, on the internet, without any financial or legal restrictions to the public.

BEFORE OPEN ACCESS
Publication/Subscription fees that put enormous pressure on researcher and library budgets

AFTER OPEN ACCESS
No publication/subscription fees which releases additional funds for researcher and library budgets

What is wrong with science today?

Please watch the video below for a humorous explanation

What is Open Access?

Watch the introduction to open access video below

Types of Open Access

Below are the generally accepted definitions of the types of open access. Also see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access

GOLD

BORN OPEN - Articles are public at the moment of publication, without payment of any article processing fees by contributors, and are then permanently archived via an institutional repository.

GREEN

EMERGE OPEN - Articles that were previously published under an embargo or pay-wall or both, are then made public and permanently archived via an institutional repository.

FOOL'S GOLD

PAY TO PUBLISH - Articles are public at the moment of publication after payment of an article processing fee by contributors, and are then permanently archived via an institutional repository.

History

Introduction

A subversive proposal written by Steven Harnard in 1994, precipitated later by the serials bundle crisis, led to the beginning of the open access movement and the creation of institutional research/subject repositories.

Policy Formulation

An open access policy is usually for the repository director to formulate in collaboration with the research offices and top institutional management.

The essential features of an effective Green OA mandate are the following.

(1) It must require deposit immediately upon acceptance for publication (not after an embargo).

(2) It must require deposit of the author's refereed, accepted final draft (not the publisher's PDF).

(3) It must require deposit in the author's institutional repository (not institution-externally).

(4) Immediate deposit must be made a prerequisite for future research performance evaluation.

(5) The authors institutional repository must implement the "copy-request feature", if embargoes are enabled.

(6) The immediate-deposit need not be immediate-open-access so long as the "copy-request feature" is implemented.
