- 19. Hi, my name is Stevan Harnad and I am haunted by a koan : Why did 34,000 researchers sign a threat in 2000 to boycott their journals unless those journals agreed to provide open access to their articles - when the researchers themselves could provide open access (OA) to their own articles by self-archiving them on their own institutional websites?
- 20. Gold Road – Revenue Model Missed Around 22% of journals today = Open Access Journals However, there is a lack of quality publications Lack of oa journals : lack of demand for funding : lack of funding Toll-Access Mode l : Faculty (libraries) pay money for access to papers Open-Access Model : Author (institution) pays publishing services to gold OA publisher
- 21. A revenue model for Open Access = university providing funds for the articles written by its faculty Institutions sign to COPE http://www.oacompact.org/compact/ Compact for OA publishing equities Accepting different COPE policies: They either mandate self-archiving or provide funds for OA gold publications written by its faculty i.e. MIT, Harvard, Simon Fraser University, Stellenbosch Uni, Trinity College...
