TABLE RONDE
OPEN ACCESS
Creating support for OA, a grassroots approach
• Hannelore Vanhaverbeke (KUL) • hannelore.vanhaverbeke@doc.kuleuven.be
The University of Leuven actively promotes Open Access amongst its researchers. Full texts can easily be deposited in the university’s institutional repository and researchers can opt for public access to their articles. Instead of relying exclusively on a top-down approach, the support of OA-enthusiasts of different backgrounds and stages in their career is harnessed to spread the message on the work floor. This initiative is still in its infancy, but we hope to have given a start to a “grass roots” movement strengthening support for Open Access.”

Creating Support for Open Access
A Grass Roots Approach at the University of Leuven
Hannelore Vanhaverbeke Research Coordination Office University of Leuven
Open Access at Leuven University
• No OA/full text upload mandate
• Policy: Green Road (through repository ‘Lirias’) stimulated
– for post-prints (post-review)
– for international journal articles
• PhDs: obligatory archiving since 2006
Open Access at Leuven University
• uploading of a variety of formats possible
• different degrees of accessibility
– public (= OA) – private – intranet - embargo
• direct link to SherpaRoMEO based on journal ISSN
• tracking paper impact : integrated Google Analytics (nr and origin of views & downloads)
• OA helpdesk
• information sessions
Open Access at Leuven University
• ca. 278.500 entries in the repository
– largest OA repository in Belgium, 15th worldwide (http://roar.eprints.org/)
– 31.000 entries with at least 1 upload (mainly text pdf)
• = 11%
– of which 17.300 OA
• = 6% of all entries
• 56% of all entries with uploads
Open Access at Leuven University
entries without uploads
89%
entries with uploads
11%
OA 56%
Intranet 35%
Private 9% Embargo
Not mandated
Open Access at Leuven University • Since Febryary 2012
– Data on uploads and OA tracked
– Increase in nr of entries with uploaded files (text)
– Decrease in nr of OA uploads
– => message of provide your entries with full texts well received
– But: people seem to be hesitant to provide OA
Open Access at Leuven University • Unnecessary hesitation for OA!
– just provide the correct paper version
Open Access at Leuven University • On the one hand
– a small group of researchers uploading full texts, data files etc.
– with a clear predilection for OA
• On the other hand
– centrally promoted OA, no mandate
Open Access at Leuven University – a small group of researchers uploading full texts,
data files etc.
– with a clear predilection for OA
• => local support engaged: OA ambassadors (“Grassroots” approach)
– = volunteers, researchers (pre- & post PhD, professors) OA enthousiasts, locally promoting OA in their faculties/departments, geared towards specific publication behaviour and ‘anxieties’ in their field
Open Access Ambassadors • Interviews & editorials
– Campuskrant
– Newsletter RCO
• Local information sessions
• Local debate fora
• Local contact person for OA questions

Monitoring OA, a Pilot Study in Belgium and the EU
• Paola Di Maio (ISTCS.org) • paola.dimaio@gmail.com • istcs.org
The Open Access Monitor (OAM) methodology was developed to enable the remote auditing of open access resources, and a study was carried out in the UK, showing that over 50% of publicly funded research projects do not produce knowledge resources that can be found via searches on the open web. This talks introduces the methodology, the outcomes of the study and outlines a pilot for a comparative study for Belgium and across the EU.

Contacts
INTRO, BACKGROUND
Research emanates from recently completed
PhD work (2009-2012)
An independent research institute (ISTCS.org)
was formed in 2009 to serve as umbrella
organisation to develop the outcomes of the
research further
The institute is a virtual global multilingual entity
with multilingual physical presence through
partner networks
PROBLEM
I set off to carry out research with funding from
an EPSRC project (NECTISE), however I
was unable to determine the state of the art
because I could not access research
outcomes, the few papers that I could access
did not have the information/data I expected
to contain
Various issues and questions surfaced, in this
talk I only cover one, in the following slide.
RESEARCH QUESTION and
CHALLENGES 1) Why, despite the existence of open access policies,
many research outcomes generated with public funding
are not accessible as shared knowledge resources?
2) How many actual open access resources (papers and
other knowledge outcomes) are produced per funded
project?
(some of the) CHALLENGES
• Few studies available, very few datasets about OA
• No method to quantify/track open access outputs
• Specialised, skill intensive task, and not enough human
resources available to track/monitor
METHOD
Overall study of a complex socio technical
problem space adopted EBR (Evidence Based
Research) and MMR (Mixed Method
Research)
Method developed is called OAM (Open Access
Monitor), consisting of a process, a set of
templates to enable 'anyone' to monitor the
adoption of open access policies
The first study was
carried out over
100 EPSRC
funded projects
in the UK,
in a specific
domain
(systems
engineering research).
STUDY
EXTENDING THE STUDY
TWO DIRECTIONS:
EXTEND TO OTHER DOMAINS (In part
already done in the UK, where smaller
studies were carried out in neighbouring
disciplines)
EXTEND TO OTHER COUNTRIES (the
purpose of this talk)
PILOTING IN BELGIUM AND EU
DO
a EU wide study, starting with Belgium, then
extend to other countries:
- locate a suitable set of publicly funded
portfolios (looking for a similar number,
approx 100)
- carry out OAM audits
- Ccmpare qualitatively and quantitatively the
outcomes and draw conclusions
challenge: language (english only)
FUTURE STEPS AND PARTNERS
SETTING UP A NON FOR PROFIT ORGANISATIONAL
ENTITY OF SORTS
FIND PARTNERS TO FORM A EU WIDE CONSORTIUM?
LOOK FOR SUITABLE RESEARCH FUNDING AND/OR
AN ECONOMIC MODEL FOR THE WORK

Dspace in Belgium and beyond
• Bram Luyten (@mire) • bram@atmire.com • www.atmire.com With over 1300 installations world wide, DSpace has come a long way since the Open Source software was originally designed by HP and MIT in 2002. Bram Luyten will present Belgian institutions relying on DSpace to enable Green Open Access policies, as well as broader international examples. Newcomers to the topic will learn the different uses of DSpace, while more experienced participants receive a high level overview of recent evolutions and anticipated new features.

OA in Historical Demography. Opportunities and challenges
• Paul Puschmann (KUL)
• Paul.Puschmann@soc.kuleuven.be
The European Historical Population Samples Network (EHPS) is trying to launch an open access journal in historical demography. On the one hand, this talk will give insight into the opportunities Open Access offers for this specific branch of research in terms of free access to data, scripts and research results. On the other hand, some of the practical obstacles on the road to open access will be elucidated on the basis of personal experiences.

Personal Background
• Ph.D. Student in Historical Demography
• External Specialist of the European Historical Population
Samples Network (EHPS)
o Involved in the establishment of an Open Access
Journal in Historical Demography
• Open Access Ambassador at KU Leuven
o Promoting Green Route of Open Access at the Faculty
of Social Sciences
Open Access to Excellence in
Research, Brussels, 22/10/2012
New Opportunities
• Making research results, extraction programs, scripts,
documentation, etc. freely available for everybody
o Increases visibility and citation chances.
o Enlarges transparency of research and makes results
better verifiable.
o Decreases inequality in access to research results
around the world.
o Decreases dependency of scholars of commercial
publishing houses.
Open Access to Excellence in
Research, Brussels, 22/10/2012
Getting Established is not Easy
Some of the Challenges and Questions
o Getting an overview of costs involved in the
establishment and functioning of the journal.
o Raising durable funding for the journal.
o Who takes up the work publishing houses previously
took care of, e.g. lay-out, language check, proof
reading, etc.?
o Finding people willing to publish in a newly established
Journal of which the future is uncertain.
Open Access to Excellence in
Research, Brussels, 22/10/2012
Risks in the Transition to Open Access
• Moving from restricted access to journal publications to
restricted possibilities to publish.
o reader-paid model is more and more replaced by an
author-paid model
• Longevity of journals might decrease, as funding might
become less sustainable.
• New peer-reviewed journals might be harder to establish,
because of the costs involved. A trend away from peer-
reviewed (and away from quality control) might be the
outcome.
Open Access to Excellence in
Research, Brussels, 22/10/2012
What is Necessary?
• More financial and practical support from universities and
funding agencies, like FWO and ESF.
• More guidance regarding the different pathways to
establish and maintain Open Access journals in practice.
• More institutional promotion, also financially, of Open
Access.
• More collaboration between initiators and editors of
different Open Access Journals.
