Sub-standard living spaces have many causes. Economics, politics influence such spaces just as much as urban design
11
But designing closed spaces, creates spaces that people avoid, cannot see, ignore
12
Openness encourages visitors, passers-by, travelling through, awareness and better conditions for flourishing social architecture
13
Openness is a big topic in many fields. This includes scholarly communication
14
How can we think about openness in the scholarly communication of architectural research?
15
What is openness?
“Open Access literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.”
Traditionally, academic knowledge has been created by universities’ researchers then published and sold by publishers back to universities
16
“With Open Science TU Delft wishes to reach an as wide as possible dissemination of scientific knowledge, free of charge to all users and accessible online. It entails Open Access to publications, responsible Research Data Management, Open Education and Open Source Software.”
17
There are many distinct advantages for openness
18
Some forms of knowledge in architectural research

Journal Articles
The cost to universities: Harvard University Library on cost of subscription to closed access journals
‘"Untenable situation" at the university by making scholarly interaction "fiscally unsustainable" and "academically restrictive’
Cost to Harvard Harvard University Library of $3.5m per year
20
Journal Articles
A crazy situation: Universities and their staff are undertaking the labour of writing and peer reviewing (for free) and then paying again for limited access.
21
Two Points to Note
70 studies have been on greater citation rates with Open Access. 46 of the 63 conclusive studies (73%) show openness -> more citations.
Open accessdoes not meanno peer review
22
How to Publish Open Access
Gold Road - Author / Funder / University pays an Article Processing Charge (APC) to allow open access. Author then follows normal procedure for publication.
Green Road - Author follows normal procedure for publication, but also deposits a version of the article in a repository (ie university repository)
23
● Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) identifies Open Access journals
○ Includes 69 entries for architecture● Beall’s list of predatory and questionable publishe
rs (507 journals and 693 publishers in 2015)
● Sherpa / Romeo online service identifies traditional journals that accept hybrid OA
● Excellent alternative - Open Library of Humanities
24
Questions to ask:● How ‘open’ is this journal?● Is this OA journal peer-reviewed, included in Web of
Science?● How much is the Article Processing Charge ?
(Between 100 - 3000 Euros)
Read Publisher’s Agreement before selecting the journal
Funding:● University OA funds● Funders allow for OA costs in budget

Sherpa / Romeo will reveal which version of an article you can deposit in an open access repository

Monographs
“A monograph’s average library sales plummeted from around 2,000 copies in 1980, to 1,000 in the late 1980s, to 500 in the 1990s, to a little more than 200 in the early years of this century (2004)”
29
Monographs
As with journals, openness changes business model - author, universities, funders pay - readers can access free of charge
And again open access does not mean no peer review
See excellent study by Collins, Milloy and Stone

Monographs
OAPEN, an aggregator of scholarly Open Access books, a has had 2 million downloads of approx 2,000 books on its website. On average 2,000 downloads per book.
Online usage, measured through book visits and page views in Google Books, improved for open access books.
On average, discovery of open access books, measured as book visits in Google Books, increased by 142%. Online usage, measured as page views in Google books, increased by 209%

35
Wikimedia Commons
Why should I share my photos?
Because it gives others the convenience and
legal freedom to embed (and cite) your
work in theirs
36
Europeana aggregates over 50m records to cultural heritage. It
works thanks to content made openly available, on similar
licencing to Wikimedia Commons
37
Wikidata
Why should I share my data?
Because the data is can be used and
surfaced in so many ways on the Internet
38
Google search intelligence (and results shown) often based on
the open data in Wikidata
39
Other people can build tools
based on Wikimedia
Commons and Wikidata

Wikipedia
Why should I waste my time on something
that is not peer-reviewed, can be vandalised and I do not get any
credit for?
41
Wikipedia
Wikipedia’s quality is (with some caveats) encyclopedia quality
Wikipedia’s vandalisation is usually
cleared very quickly
42
Wikipedia
‘Everyone’ looks at Wikipedia. If you want your knowledge to be
disseminated it must be included or references
in Wikipedia.
