What Does ‘Green’ Open Access Mean? Tracking Twelve Years Of Changes To Journal Publisher Self-Archiving Policies, Elizabeth Gadd, Denise Troll Covey

Denise Troll Covey

Traces the 12‐year self‐archiving policy journey of the original 107 publishers listed on the
SHERPA/RoMEO Publisher Policy Database in 2004, through to 2015. Maps the RoMEO colour codes
(‘green’, ‘blue’, ‘yellow’ and ‘white’) and related restrictions and conditions over time. Finds that
while the volume of publishers allowing some form of self‐archiving (pre‐print, post‐print or both)
has increased by 12% over the twelve years, the volume of restrictions around how, where, and
when self‐archiving may take place has increased 119%, 190% and 1000% respectively. A significant
positive correlation was found between the increase in self‐archiving restrictions and the
introduction of …

Changes In Support For Open Access: Laudatory Or Predatory?, Denise Troll Covey

Denise Troll Covey

This article examines data and discourse to better understand publisher perspectives on self-archiving and, based on this understanding, urges action from open access advocates.

Publisher Support For Self-Archiving: Laudatory Or Predatory?, Denise Troll Covey Dec 2012

Publisher Support For Self-Archiving: Laudatory Or Predatory?, Denise Troll Covey

Denise Troll Covey

Most publishers with self-archiving policies in the SHERPA RoMEO database allow authors to deposit their articles in a repository or post them to a website – supporting the green route to open access. Nevertheless, the Association of American Publishers (AAP) enthusiastically endorsed legislation proposed and defeated twice in the United States to prohibit federal agencies from mandating repository deposits of articles reporting on research they funded. The AAP also endorsed the Finch Report issued in the United Kingdom. The Report denigrated repository deposits and elevated open access publishing – the gold route to open access – as the preferred path …

Opening The Dissertation: Overcoming Cultural Calcification And Agoraphobia, Denise Troll Covey Dec 2012

Opening The Dissertation: Overcoming Cultural Calcification And Agoraphobia, Denise Troll Covey

Denise Troll Covey

This article places the struggle to open access to the dissertation in the context of the crisis in doctoral education and the transition from print to digital literacy. It explores the underlying cultural calcification and agoraphobia that deter engagement with openness. Solving the problems will require overhauling the curriculum and conventions of doctoral education. Opening access to dissertations is an important first step, but insufficient to end the crisis. Only opening other dimensions of the dissertation -- the structure, media, notion of authorship, and methods of assessment -- can foster the digital literacy needed to save PhD programs from extinction. …
