derk haank: open access publishing at springer
DESCRIPTION
Mr. Haank addresses Springer's position on Open Access. What has changed over the last years, what has stayed the same? Is hybrid developing into fully open, or will the models co-exist? He also touches upon the issue of (open) data. Making data available in a structured, useful way is much more complex than the current practice of article publishing.TRANSCRIPT

‘Gold’ Open Access is growing fast
• Small but fast growing segment of the STM journals market
• DOAJ now lists 5,000+ journals, but only 400 have an Impact Factor
• Approx. 4% of all articles indexed by ISI in 2009 are open access
• Top three OA publishers are growing fast:
– BMC (18k articles in 2009, +21%)
– PLOS (6k articles in 2009, +50%)
– Hindawi (4k articles in 2009, +75%)
• New OA funds emerge, either by funding agencies or academic institutions
• It is believed that OA will stay as a complementary business model to the well
established subscription model

Springer’s view on scientific data
• Data are highly valuable
– Data as a resource (share for re-use, repurpose)
– Data as part of the scholarly record (share for review, validation and testing)
– Data as an achievement (share for scientist’s visibility)
• Data sharing has challenges
– Increasing rate of data production, diversity of experimental designs and analytics
– Missing metadata, missing context
– Missing infrastructure for storage and accessibility
– Missing incentives for data authors
• Springer’s role?
– Enhance access to stored datasets (Springer articles as “information hubs“ and
data integration as service to authors)
Explanatory comment: Linking to related datasets in geosciences database Pangaea is under development
