OPEN ACCESS TO PUBLICATIONS IN HORIZON 2020 How can OpenAIRE help researchers and projects to comply with Open Access mandates? WEBINAR October 23th, 2017 Eloy Rodrigues & Najla Rettberg Agenda 1. OA in H2020: summary of requirements 2. OA in H2020: Practical implementation 3. OpenAIRE support services and tools 2 The Open Access mandate in H2020, what is expected of projects with regards to the OA policies in H2020 and how OpenAIRE can help. DEFAULTOpen Access is the for research results in H2020 Multi-beneficiary General Model Grant Agreement 29.2 Open access to scientific publications 29.3 Open access to research data http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/mga/gga/h2020-mga-gga-multi_en.pdf Grant Agreement: § 29.2 Open access to scientific publications Each beneficiary must ensure open access (free of charge, online access for any user) to all peer-reviewed scientific publications relating to its results. In particular, it must: (a) as soon as possible and at the latest on publication, deposit a machine-readable electronic copy of the published version or final peer-reviewed manuscript accepted for publication in a repository for scientific publications; Moreover, the beneficiary must aim to deposit at the same time the research data needed to validate the results presented in the deposited scientific publications. (b) ensure open access to the deposited publication — via the repository — at the latest: (i) on publication, if an electronic version is available for free via the publisher, or (ii) within six months of publication (twelve months for publications in the social sciences and humanities) in any other case. (c) ensure open access — via the repository — to the bibliographic metadata that identify the deposited publication. The bibliographic metadata must be in a standard format and must include all of the following: - the terms ["European Union (EU)" and "Horizon 2020"]["Euratom" and Euratom research and training programme 2014-2018"]; - the name of the action, acronym and grant number; - the publication date, and length of embargo period if applicable, and - a persistent identifier. OA in H2020: summary of requirements 1 Open Access requirements and who is covered by them?All beneficiaries of H2020 funding must provide open access (free of charge, online access for any user) to all peer-reviewed publications by depositing them into a repository http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/grants_manual/amga/h2020-amga_en.pdf www.openaire.eu/h2020openaccess In other words... Authors are free to choose between the two main and non-exclusive routes toward Open Access Self-archiving (‚green‘ open access): the published article or the final peer reviewed manuscript is uploaded in an online repository – access is often delayed (‚embargo period‘) Open access publishing (‚gold‘ open access): the article is immediately in open access mode, through the publisher. The associated costs are covered by the author/institution/funder.The article must always be deposited in a repository, even if the gold route has been choosen. Where to deposit? Institutional repository OR Disciplinary repository (arXiv, Europe PubMed Central, etc.) OR Zenodo (www.zenodo.org) if none of the above is available. EC-cofunded, multidisciplinary repository, for publications and data. Remarks: Finding a repository via registries: ROAR http://roar.eprints.org, OpenDOAR http://www.opendoar.org or via OpenAIRE www.openaire.eu A list of publications on the project website is not sufficient. How to bring all publications together? OpenAIRE-compatibility to enable the harvesting of metadata (more details later) What to deposit? The final peer-reviewed manuscript, accepted for publication, including all modifications from the peer- review process OR A machine-readable copy of the published version (usually a PDF document) In principle this applies to all kinds of publications, but emphasis is on peer-reviewed journal articles. When to deposit? Each beneficiary must deposit as soon as possible and at the latest on publication. When should open access be provided? Open access must be ensured immediately or after an embargo period: – GREEN – 6-12 months depending on the research area and the choice of journal – GOLD – immediately Some journals demand longer embargo periods (compare SHERPA/RoMEO database). Practical implementation 2 RESEARCHER DECIDES WHERE TO PUBLISH Check publishers policies on www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo Open Access Journals doaj.org Check for Article Processing Charges Subscription-based journal Self-archive in a repository Find at: openaire.eu IMMEDIATE OPEN ACCESS IMMEDIATE OR DELAYED OPEN ACCESS Are Article Processing Charges (APCs) supported? Yes For open access publishing, researchers can publish in open access journals, or in journals that sell subscriptions and also offer the possibility of making individual articles openly accessible (hybrid journals).  Where the case, the Article Processing Charges (APCs) incurred by beneficiaries are eligible for reimbursement during the duration of the action. Publication costs Dissemination costs, e.g. for publishing in open access journals/books, are eligible costs if incurred during the project period. What budget to consider in proposals? APC = Article Processing Charges Budget for Publications = Average APC x number of publications Method 1: Average APC based on list of journals used by the consortium (look up prices at publisher website and/or consult librarian) Method 2: Average APC based on general market figures (see next slide) Average APC? Björk/Solomon estimated (2014) the average price of Article Processing Charges (APC) for established open access journals at ca. 1,020 EUR and for hybrid journals (subscription journal with OA option for individual articles) at ca. 1,980 EUR Average APC? At the moment OpenAPC provides cost data on 44,407 open access journal articles contributed by 117 institutions for fully open access journals the average payment was 1,479 € for hybrid journals (subscription journal with OA option for individual articles) the average fee is 2,493 € Both types of OA publication costs can be reimbursed in H2020 projects. Currently, there is no price-cap for APCs. https://github.com/OpenAPC/openapc-de What are projects expected to do? DURING PROPOSAL WRITING PHASE - Outline of dissemination and exploitation strategy, including OA >> impact section of the proposal (how will results be shared, data be managed and shared?) - Include resources for publication costs (what journals, how many publications, what does it cost on average?) - Combine GREEN/GOLD strategies to achieve maximum of OA DURING THE PROJECT - Additional provisions in the Consortium Agreement - where to deposit, who is responsible. - Implementation of the dissemination strategy, report at reviews and update - What issues occur and how can they be solved? (publisher embargos, repositories for specific material, etc.) AFTER THE PROJECT END - Are there publications foreseen after the ending of the project (ie which will not be covered by the budget) – for post-FP7 project publications there is a pilot. - Who takes care of deposit in repositories after the project end? Pr jects have to start planning early on Some issues to consider 1. Publishing all articles in APC based gold OA is not probably the right solution, as this can lead to a substantial amount of the overall project budget. Therefore, a mixed strategy of GREEN/GOLD open access is highly recommended. 2. The growing open access market comes with some challenges • Lots of new journals/publishers, some of questionable quality (‚predatory journals‘, http://scholarlyoa.com/publishers/) Some caution is needed when publishing, this holds for all journals. Consult ‚white lists‘ such as DOAJ. What are the consequences for non-compliance with OA requirements?If a beneficiary breaches any of its obligations, the grant may be reduced (Article 43) and it may also lead to any of the other measures described in  Chapter 6 of the General Model Grant Agreement. http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/mga/gga/h2020-mga-gga-multi_en.pdf Policies and Practices hand in hand for a sustainable OA From Open Access to Open Science… more facets to consider Open Science @OSFAIR2017 OPEN ACCESS OpenAIRE implements the EC requirements & SUPPORTS THE OPEN DATA PILOT www.openaire.eu RESEARCHERS & RESEARCH COMMUNITIES DATA PROVIDERS FUNDERS & RESEARCH ADMINISTRATORS 3rd party SERVICE PROVIDERS Services for all @OSFAIR2017 Dashboards for data providers, funders and researcher communities.
