What Open Access (OA) is…

-Free, online copies of peer-reviewed literature;

-in most cases there are no licensing restrictions on their use by

readers and

-they can therefore be used freely for research, teaching and other

purposes. (Jisc: 2005)

Open access to scientific publications and data that underpins it.Technology Day 06_11_2013

What OA is not…..

- self-publishing, nor a way to bypass peer-review and publication, nor a kind of second-class, cut-price publishing route. (Jisc: 2005)

Benefits of Open Access..

Increase visibility of scholarly publication,

Early sharing and debating of results with colleagues

Encourages collaborative research

Attract foreign and donor investment in South African

research.

Increased impact,Technology Day 06_11_2013

Gold Open access

- Publish on open access journals

- can be provided by traditional publishers or open access publishers (SCieLo)SA

- CPUT 2012 research output in accredited journals = 211

Some South Africa’s OA initiatives…..

- National platform for open access through free-online journals, e.g. The

Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO SA )

- DST Workshop on National Access to research data : SA Perspective

(2007)

- Intellectual Property Rights Acts for Publicly Funded Research (2008)

- Engagement in CODATA and hosting of 22nd CODATA Conference in

Stellenbosch (2010)

Closing the open data gap.

Technology Day 06_11_2013

Intent:

Make data that underpins a Publication concurrently available on a database/ institutional repository

Why open access to data?

- Allow scrutiny

- Replication of experiments

- Identification of errors

- For theories to be accepted or refined

- Re-use data for further discoveries

- Long term preservation Technology Day 06_11_2013

Four Fundamental requirements for open data

Data must be :

- Accessible

- Intelligible

- Assessable

- Usable

Technology Day 06_11_2013

Page 14: Zanele Mathe on Open access and Open data at CPUT

04/11/202314

How can these requirements be achieved.

- Research data management (RDM) as a strategic component

- Aligning RDM to institutional goals e.g. RTI blueprint; DRUSSA initiative; etc

- development of policy, processes and robust infrastructure that will foster management of research data through its lifecycle

- Ensure compliance to legal frameworks influencing the practice of managing research data

Processes…

- Library working with Research Directorate and Info.Ed (RIMS) project Manager

Intent:- Ensure interoperability between RIMS &

Digital Knowledge- Streamline submission process – cut

duplication- Preservation of full-text content while its

ensuring free access

Open Access Declaration…

- University's Signing of the Berlin Declaration to Open Access in the Sciences and Humanities

- Planned for 2014 during Open Access week Intent:commit the University in supporting the open access principles and striving towards achieving openness in publicly funded research.
