SENATE MATTERS

UNIVERSITY SENATE MATTERS/Gordon R.Mitchell

Disseminating researchRelease of the University Senate library committee’s report on last spring’splenary session, “Scholarly Publishing Today and Tomorrow,” refocusesattention on what keynote speaker David Shulenberger called a “crisis inthe distribution of research.” Disintegration of the financial models forpublishing and distributing academic research, systematic erosion ofauthors’ intellectual property rights and sheer information overload all arefactors that Shulenberger said combine to create an “obligation” foruniversities to revisit their approaches to dissemination of scholarlyresearch.

The University Library System’s D-scholarship repository, an open accessdigital archive of Pitt scholarship (at http://d-scholarship.pitt.edu), is one response to the crisis; thelibrary committee’s follow-up report outlines other recommendations. To gain perspective on theseissues, our study group, composed of students enrolled in a Department of Communication graduateseminar last term, analyzed open-access policies, reviewed landmark articles central to the history ofopen-access and its broader implications, and consulted with key figures in the field via Skype.

In addition, our group gained practical experience with Pitt’s D-scholarship repository by attempting tocomplete 20 original submissions to the archive. In the process, we learned about issues involving theacquisition of author, journal and copyright holder permissions; the formatting and preparation ofdocuments for submission; the preparation of video and audio media; the categorization of differenttypes of documents on the D-scholarship web site, and the increase in visibility as a result ofsubmission to D-scholarship. A full report on our team’s research will be released later in the term; thiscolumn highlights findings that are particularly relevant to the Senate library committee’s recent report.

Recommendation #1: Task force. We endorse the library committee’s call for the formation of atask force to “continue the conversation” on this issue. However, we feel that any such body shouldinclude students. As stakeholders with vested interests in the design of open-access repositories,students (particularly graduate students) should have a say in the creation and implementation ofpolicies that they eventually will inherit.

Recommendation #2: Opt-out model. Noting that currently participation in the D-scholarshiprepository is voluntary, the library committee recommends “that the University open a discussion aboutmoving toward a model of expected participation for faculty with an opt-out clause.” The current trickle

of contributions to the D-scholarship repository (only 26 since its digital doors opened last fall), andthe myriad difficulties we have encountered in attempting to submit material through an “opt-in”system, convince us that the impetus behind this recommendation is sound. However, we are leery ofinstitutional pressure to “expect” participation in D-scholarship without providing requisite resources.Tasks such as standardizing permissions forms and preparing/formatting documents for submissionrequire staff to effectively administer the program. We encountered many hurdles in our ownsubmissions to D-scholarship. Because maintaining staff is costly, funding is paramount in consideringany move toward “expected” open-access participation.

The most effective “opt-out” digital repositories — at Harvard and MIT — were established throughunified faculty action to establish a blanket, nonexclusive license reserving rights to post any Harvardor MIT faculty publication to the relevant institution’s open-access repository. A similar agreement atPitt would make individual faculty negotiations with publishers unnecessary. When the process iseasier and less administratively burdensome, it promotes compliance with mandatory open-accesssubmission policies and reduces administrative costs. Discussion of University licensing thereforeshould accompany or even precede discussions about mandating or even “expecting” D-scholarshipparticipation.

Recommendations #3 and #4: Education. Regarding the library committee’s call for University-wide education about authors’ rights and the implications of open-access for tenure and promotion, wethink that it also would be necessary to educate scholars about the possible benefits and drawbacks ofparticipating in open-access initiatives. Faculty and graduate students must be made aware of what isat stake by signing publishing agreements that allow participation in open access. For instance, openaccess could have a negative effect on journals that rely on subscriptions from end-users (andintermediary institutions representing end-users such as libraries). Free access to materials thatotherwise would have to be paid for through subscription and reprint fees detracts directly from therevenue of such journals, which are common in the humanities and social sciences. However, there arepotential remedies for this: Pitt could join the Compact for Open-Access Publishing Equity, aconsortium of universities committed to reshaping the business model of scholarly publishing in waysthat maximize academic rigor and open access.

We encourage others to join the conversation as Faculty Assembly and Senate Council move towardpossible consideration of specific resolutions growing out of the library committee report.Gordon Mitchell is associate professor, director of graduate studies and director of the William PittDebating Union in the communication department. Study group members included Lydia Hillary(lead student author), Candi Carter-Olson, Brita Dooghan, Matthew Gayetsky, George Gittinger,Allison Hahn, David Landes, Alexandra Seitz and Joseph Serv, all of Pitt, and Carolyn Commer,Carnegie Mellon.

Student Study Group Weighs in onUniversity’s Digital ScholarshipInitiativesThe University Library System'sD-Scholarship repository is anew, open access electronicarchive showcasing Pittscholarship to the wider world.When it opened its digitaldoors in fall 2009,Communication graduatestudents were some of the firstscholars to submit content. Asa result of these efforts, CandiCarter-Olson's oral historyinterviews of G-20 protestorsare now archived at therepository, which is indexed through Pitt Cat, Google, and other searchengines.

Other Communication scholarship has been archived as well, includingAllison Hahn's speeches for a 2003 public debate on abstinence-onlyeducation, and Meredith Guthrie's article on menstruation, originallypublished in the online feminist journal "MP."

This wave of submissions stemmed from Gordon Mitchell's graduate seminaron Rhetorical Production held during the fall 2009 term. In that course,students pursued a multi-faceted analysis of open access policies, withreading assignments covering landmark articles central to the history ofopen access and its broader implications, and live Skype interactions withkey figures in the field such as Harvard's Director of ScholarlyCommunications Stuart Schieber (see photo) and Georgetown law professorRebecca Tushnet.

In addition, each student gained practical experience with Pitt's D-Scholarship repository by attempting to complete two original submissions(many by proxy on behalf of others) to the repository. In the process ofsubmitting artifacts to the D-Scholarship repository, students learned aboutissues involving the acquisition of author, journal, and copyright holderpermissions; the formatting and preparation of documents for submission;the preparation of video and audio media; the categorization of differenttypes of documents on the D-Scholarship website; the increase in visibilityas a result of submission to D-Scholarship; and many others.

Each successful submission was accompanied by approximately four failedattempts, and the students have documented and reflected on theseattempts in final papers that will be bundled into a full report of the team'sresearch that will be released later in the Spring 2010 academic term. In theinterim, a February 4, 2010 column in The University Times highlights selectfindings that are particularly relevant to the Senate Library Committee'songoing deliberations about challenges relating to the digital disseminationof scholarship at the University.
