Our Mission:
Expand the distribution of research in a way that leverages digital
networked technology, reduces financial pressures on libraries, and
creates a more open system of scholarly communication.

Why “Open” as the Endgame?
![Page 4: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Each Year, the U.S. Government spends ~US$60 billion on scientific
research.
![Page 5: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
We Make this Investment In Order to:
• Generate new ideas • Accelerate scientific discovery • Fuel innovation • Grow the economy • Improve the welfare of the public
![Page 6: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
This can only happen if we can access and use the results of this
research.
![Page 7: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
“If I as a scientist go through the work of designing and conducting
an experiment, but don’t tell anyone the results, what what the point of me doing the work in the
first place?”
- Dr. Keith Yamamoto, Executive Vice Dean, UCSF Medical School
![Page 8: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Over 200,000 articles report on U.S-funded research each year...
![Page 9: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
…But the majority of these can still only be read by purchasing
access through a journal.
![Page 10: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Current system is not optimized to achieve desired outcomes.
![Page 11: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Need to remove the barriers (financial, legal and technical) that
are blocking us from achieving these outcomes.

“Removing access barriers to this literature will accelerate research,
enrich education, share the learning of the rich with the poor and the poor with the rich, make this literature as
useful as it can be, and lay the foundation for uniting humanity in a common intellectual conversation and
quest for knowledge.“

“By open access, we mean the free availability of articles on the public
internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print,
search or link to the full text of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software or use them
for any other lawful purpose…”

Open Access = Access + Reuse
![Page 16: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Open Access has become a Policy Imperative.
![Page 17: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Governments would boost innovation and get a better return
on their investment in publicly funded research by making
research findings more widely available…. And by doing so, they would maximize social returns on
public investments.” -- International Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Report on scientific publishing, 2005
![Page 18: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The U.S. increasingly recognizes the need to create a policy
framework that supports all stakeholders in a transition to a
more open system of sharing research results.
![Page 19: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

“Open and unrestricted access to public
information at no more than the cost of
dissemination”

Policy Focus: Public is entitled to access and use
the results of research their tax dollars pay for.
![Page 22: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Untill now, only 1 U.S. Funding Agency had enacted policy to
make this a reality.
![Page 23: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
But it’s a Big One…
![Page 24: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The U.S. National Institutes of Health funds ~US$30 billion in basic and applied biomedical
research each year.
![Page 25: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
This represents fully one-half of the U.S. total US$60 billion annual investment in scientific research.
![Page 26: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
After piloting a voluntary Open Access policy for 3 years, U.S.
Congress enacts NIH Public Access Policy into law in 2008.
![Page 27: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
“The National Institutes of Health shall require that all investigators funded by the NIH submit to the National Library
of Medicine's PubMed Central an electronic version of their final, peer-
reviewed manuscripts upon acceptance for publication, to be made publicly
available no later than 12 months after the official date of publication.”
![Page 28: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Policy Requirements are Not Complicated…
![Page 29: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
But Outcomes Have Been Substantial.
![Page 30: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• More than 2.5 million full text articles are now available though agencies repository.
• More than 1,000,000 unique users access those articles - every day.
• More than 2/3rds of the users come from outside of the academic community.
• Over 80% of eligible researchers comply.
• Policy costs less than 1/100th of 1% of NIH’s overall operating budget to implement.
NIH Policy Outcomes

Note: NIH Policy leaves copyright negotiations up to indivudal
authors.

5 Years of Data from NIH Helped Drive Progress Towards More
Open Access Policies in the U.S.
![Page 33: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Extensive Public Discussion/Consultation between
2009-2012.
![Page 34: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Open Access advocates organized; and community responded with
thousands of detailed comments...
![Page 36: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
…focused on highlighting how Open Access Policies would
advance Federal Governments Objectives.
![Page 37: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Objectives of Open Access Policies
• Generate new ideas • Accelerate scientific discovery • Fuel innovation • Grow the economy/create jobs • Improve the welfare of the public • Increase transparency and accountability
![Page 38: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Advocates Also Responded with Calls for Action.
![Page 39: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
![Page 40: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
For White House to respond, petitions need 25,000 signatures
in 30 days.
![Page 41: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
We Did it in 13 Days.
![Page 42: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
And Ended up with 65,000 Signatures.
![Page 43: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
In February 2013, The White House Issued an Executive Directive
Supporting Expansion of NIH Policy to All Other U.S. Federal Science
Agencies
![Page 44: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
![Page 45: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
White House Directive requires more than 20 U.S. Federal
Agencies and Departments to now develop Open Access Policies.
![Page 46: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
“The Obama Administration is
committed to the proposition that citizens deserve access to the
results of scientific research their tax dollars have paid for. ”
![Page 47: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
“Public access policies will
accelerate scientific breakthroughs and innovation, promote entrepreneurship and
ehance economic growth and job creation…”
![Page 48: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Directive presents useful guidance on objectives that the policies
must meet, and also on elements policies should contain.
![Page 49: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Policies must “ensure that the public can read, download and
analyze” articles in an appropriate time frame.
![Page 50: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Very Good.
![Page 51: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
However, it is a regulation, not legislation.
![Page 52: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Continued push for legislation to make Open Access the “law of the land”; not just the “preference of
a president.”
![Page 53: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
The Proposed Legislation: “The Fair Access to Science and
Technology (FASTR) Act”
![Page 54: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
• Are “green” policies – requiring deposit in open access repositories
• Have provisions to ensure that articles can be both accessed and fully used.
Both FASTR and WH Directive:
![Page 55: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
• Shortens the allowable embargo period to 6 months (from 12):
• Requires that articles be made available under license terms that enable productive reuse.
• Specifically requires agencies to examine use of CC-BY license.
However, FASTR:
![Page 56: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Much of the action in U.S. now (and for the forseeable future) is centered around interpretation,
codification, implementation of the White House Directive…
![Page 57: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Much, but not all.
![Page 58: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
University/Campus Based Open Access Policies
![Page 59: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
More than 35 U.S. Higher Education Institutions have implemented
Open Access policies.
![Page 60: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)

“The broad dissemination of the results of scholarly inquiry and discourse is
essential for higher education to fulfill its long-standing commitment to the
advancement and conveyance of knowledge. Indeed, it is mission
critical.”
- U.S. University Provosts, in an Open Letter to the Higher Education Community, 7/24/06

And a new front open up in 2013…
![Page 64: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
State Open Access Policies.
![Page 65: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
- Illinois (Passed; signed into law) - California (Passed Assembly, vote due in Senate in January 2014) - New York (Pending first vote)
New legislation proposed on state level in 3 States:
![Page 66: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
All three proposed State bills are built on framework set out in
FASTR, and are complimentary with the WH Directive.
![Page 67: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
First time that the U.S. has had active Open Access policy
proposals in play at Executive Branch level, in Congress, in States
and on local campus Level.
![Page 68: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Biggest challenges center around how policies are interpreted and
implemented.
![Page 69: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Especially in the area of reuse rights.
![Page 70: Developing a framework for open access policies in the United States](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5461d6f7b1af9f86228b4c38/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
