Library Involvement In Faculty Publication Funds, Jane D. Monson, Wendy Highby, Bette Rathe
Library Involvement In Faculty Publication Funds, Jane D. Monson, Wendy Highby, Bette Rathe
University Libraries Faculty Publications
A faculty publication fund is a fairly new concept in scholarly communication, and academic institutions are experimenting with different models for the administration of funds designed to assist faculty who face prohibitive journal publication charges. Findings are reported from a survey-based, qualitative study of small and medium-sized academic libraries involved with open access faculty publication funds. The survey results and a case study of one library’s involvement in fund development are considered in light of the broader research questions: How are libraries engaging as facilitators of scholarly publishing, and what successes and challenges are they facing in this new role?

Faculty Perceptions Of Open Access Author Fees: A Case Study At Two Universities, Anne E. Rauh
Faculty Perceptions Of Open Access Author Fees: A Case Study At Two Universities, Anne E. Rauh
Anne Rauh
In the fall of 2013, librarians at Cornell University and Syracuse University surveyed STEM faculty about open access author fees. While few authors had decided against publishing in an open access journal due to the author fee requirement, results showed skepticism towards the quality of open access titles, opposition to paying fees from their own funds, and a lack of understanding of how university resources such as library subscriptions are funded. The speaker will take the participants through the case study results and discuss opportunities for librarians and publishers to collaborate on increasing awareness and participation in open access.

Orange may be the new black, but as I have seen only five minutes of that show, I can’t really use it here. Besides, based on the five minutes I saw, I would assume it is a series written by males. Not since the Victoria’s Secret catalog have I seen so many women wearing fewer clothes, or engaging in so many unmentionable acts. I’ll stop there because my Victorianism is showing, I’m sure.

The Effect Of Open Access On Citation Rates Of Self-Archived Articles At Chalmers, Lars Kullman
The Effect Of Open Access On Citation Rates Of Self-Archived Articles At Chalmers, Lars Kullman
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
Open Access (OA) proponents argue that OA increases the visibility and accessibility of research articles, and therefore increases the citation rate of these works. During the last decade numerous studies have been made on the possible citation advantage of OA on scholarly publications. At Chalmers University of Technology (Göteborg, Sweden) an OA policy was adopted in 2010, mandating all of its publications to be self-archived in the university repository Chalmers Publication Library (CPL). One of the arguments of the then vice chancellor was that OA would increase citations. In this study, a possible OA citation advantage of articles self-archived in …

The Stick Or The Carrot? An Approach To Open Access, Randi Tyse Eriksen, Jorunn Alstad
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
In Norway, as internationally, Open Access (OA) policy states that officially funded research should be open to the public. This paper touches upon the EU’s new OA-initiative (Horizon 2020) before giving a short description of the guidelines from the Norwegian Government and the National Research Council of Norway, as well as NTNU’s and other Norwegian Universities’ OA policies. Through the Norwegian CRIStin database, which was established in 2010, Norway has a national system for registration of academic publishing. Reporting these and other data concerning academic activities to the government partially dictates funding. Together with institutional archives for realizing green OA …

Stem Faculty Perceptions Of Open Access Author Fees, Anne E. Rauh
Anne Rauh
Anne Rauh, Syracuse University, and Jeremy Cusker, Cornell University, surveyed STEM Faculty at their respective universities about perceptions of OA author fees in October 2013. Reponses suggested that faculty were concerned about predatory publishing and unwilling to accept any costs for publishing. This talk will briefly cover the survey results, conclusions drawn from it, and suggestions for librarians communicating about OA moving forward.

The conservation field has articulated the importance of publishing our research to disseminate information and further the aims of conservation. Article X of AIC’s Code of Ethics states that conservators should “contribute to the evolution and growth of the profession, a field of study that encompasses the liberal arts and the natural sciences” in part by “sharing of information and experience with colleagues, adding to the profession’s written body of knowledge.” Our Guidelines for Practice state “the conservation professional should recognize the importance of published information that has undergone formal peer review,” because, as Commentary 2.1 indicates, “publication in peer-reviewed …

VCU Libraries Faculty and Staff Publications
The British Virginia project involves a collaboration between Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Libraries and faculty members in the departments of English and History at VCU, with the project led by Dr. Joshua Eckhardt (English). As of April 25, 2013, the project has published its first title: an online edition of a sermon preached to the Virginia Company by William Symonds. To ensure the success of this project, a number of details required careful planning, including library outreach, IT involvement, and digital publishing protocols. Our example has deepened a move toward a dynamic and creative digital environment for researchers across campus. …
