Thomas Arndt and Claudia Frick: Getting Scientists
Ready for Open Access: The Approaches of Forschungszentrum Jülich.
Publications 2018, 6(2), 24. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/publications6020024
Abstract: Many scientific institutions are faced
with the question of how they should inform their scientists and
scientific coordinators about the option of publishing open access. This
task is one that libraries have taken upon themselves: libraries are
familiar with the market participants and have years of experience in
teaching information and publication literacy. This case report looks at
two approaches taken by the Central Library of Forschungszentrum Jülich
in 2017. It highlights the motivation, strategy, resources and
implementation, as well as the first evaluation of both approaches. The
first approach was a redesign of the training courses offered by the
Central Library with a focus on the target groups and new contents. The
second approach was implemented as part of International Open Access
Week and involved offering an information event tailored to each
scientific institute. The event was customized to meet the needs of the
target group defined by each institute, the institute itself, and was
organized individually. As a result of these efforts, the open access
rate increased over the last few months and at 48% open access in 2017,
Forschungszentrum Jülich is well on its way to achieving the open access
goals set by the Helmholtz Association.
