Vortrag auf der IFLA 2018 in Kuala Lumpur:
Abstract:
In 2016 the expert group called “Open Access Network Austria” (OANA)
published 16 recommendations on how Austria should support a transition
to open access (OA). The overarching recommendation is that “By 2025, a
large part of all scholarly publication activity in Austria should be
Open Access. In other words, the final versions of most
scholarly publications (in particular all refereed journal articles and
conference proceedings) resulting from the support of public resources
must be freely accessible on the Internet without delay (Gold Open
Access).”
These recommendations generated discussions across the sector and
questions were raised over costs. In order to address these questions
and to explore wider implications, the Austrian university libraries
submitted a joint application to the Ministry of Science,
Research & Economics and managed to secure funding for a project entitled “Austrian Transition to Open Access” (AT2OA).
The goal of the AT2OA project, launched in 2017, is to support the
large-scale transformation of scholarly publications from Closed to OA,
and to implement measures supporting this initiative. The project aims
to increase Austria’s OA publication output by restructuring license
agreements with publishers and by providing targeted support
for researchers’ publication activities. It will also establish new
venues for OA publishing.
Currently there are seven transition agreements (see
https://konsortien.at/openaccess-en.asp) in place within the framework
of the Austrian Academic Library Consortium (KEMÖ).
During the talk we will discuss lessons learned and present the first results of our analyses.
Keywords: Open Access, Transition, Gold Open Access, Open Access
Agreements, offsetting Deals, Alternative Open Access Publishing
Business Models, Open Science Infrastructures and Services (OSIS).
