The Need for Open Access • Make research easier available: • Fellow researchers everywhere • Industry • Practitioners • Interested laymen • Society • Better availability => more feedback => better research • Give tax payer what they paid for • Top universities make this mandatory; So do funding agencies. 3
Golden Open Access? • Can’t the journal take care of open access? • Yes, e.g.: PLOS ONE, PeerJ, IEEE Access, AAAI, Usenix, ... • But many publishers are not fully open access • ACM, IEEE, Springer, Elsevier, Wiley, ... • “Hybrid” open access at best (individual papers can be made open access) • “Article Processing Charges” of $750-1500 per paper. 4
Green Open Access • The publisher can be behind a paywall • But the author can make a version available, e.g. on their institutional repository! • Most publishers permit such “self-archiving”. • (Under certain conditions) 5
