The Danish Open Access Indicator
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like1,152 views
The Danish Open Access Indicator was launched in March 2016 to monitor Denmark's national open access strategy. The indicator measures the percentage of scholarly articles published by Danish researchers that are open access, with a goal of 80% in 2017 and 100% in 2022. It analyzes publications harvested from university research databases and repositories, deduplicates them, checks them against indexes like DOAJ and SHERPA/Romeo to determine open access status, and publishes the results on the Danish National Research Database. Upcoming improvements may include checking additional repositories and refining how it calculates open access potential.

- 2. Launch of the Danish Open Access Indicator • The Danish Open Access Indicator was launched on the 9. March 2016 by the Ministry of Higher Education and Science
- 3. Danish National Strategy on Open Access Announced on European Science Open Forum (ESOF) in Copenhagen 24th of June 2014. By (former) Minister for Higher Education and Science Sofie Carsten Nielsen Photo: NordForsk/Terje Heiestad
- 4. Denmark’s Open Access goal 2017 80% Published in 2016 2022 100% Published in 2021 To peer review scientific articles
- 5. The strategy: GREEN Open Access
- 6. GREEN Open Access • No additional cost i.e. no hybrid open access • Negotiation with publishers i.e. National Licenses through DEFF.dk • Establishment of an OA-publishing service for Danish Journals • Establishment of a national Open Access indicator Zdeněk Chalupský
- 7. Open Access Barometer pilot project • DEFF funded project 2012 – 2014 • Based on reuse of metadata from i.e. CRIS, DOAJ.org, SHERPA/ROMEO • Twitter: #oabarometer • Reports: http://projekter.kulturstyrelsen.dk/ projekt/dansk-open-access- barometer
- 8. The development of the Open Access indicator • Working group established by the Ministry of Higher Education and Science • With the task to specify the development of an Open Access indicator • In relation to the National Danish Research Database. • An indicator that can monitor the implementation of the national Open Access Strategy • First (pilot) result presented in March 2016
- 9. Definition of publication types to be measured • Should conference contributions in proceedings or book series (anthologies) be included • Final definition: • ”Scientific articles and conference contributions in journals and proceedings with ISSN”. • Close to the UK REF definition • post-2014 REF ” The requirement applies only to journal articles and conference proceedings with an International Standard Serial Number” : http://www.hefce.ac.uk/pubs/year/2014/201407/
- 18. Architecture of the Open Access Indicator (1/2) 1. OAI-PMH harvest from universities 2. Subset with duplicates (for university calculation) 3. Deduplication using data from BFI (Bibliometric Research Indicator)* 4. Resulting in the “target field without duplicates”. 8 universities Research databases & Repositories BFI DOAJ Sherpa/Romeo 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8 9 10
- 19. *What is the Bibliometric Research Indicator • Or just BFI • B for Bibliometric • F for Forskning = research • I for Indicator • Funding allocation model based on points given to institutions based on publishing in • A number for “expert” selected publication channels: journals and selected publishers for books • A common data model, all institutions have focus on providing as correct and full data as possible, because it is used for the allocation of funds.
- 20. Architecture of the Open Access Indicator (2/2) 5. Check with DOAJ for Gold OA status in combination with BFI authoritative journal list 6. Check whether the article may be downloaded from the university (Green Open Access) 7. Check whether the article is published in a journal with Green OA potential using Sherpa/Romeo* 8. Two outputs: a. University statistics (with duplicates) b. National statistics (without duplicates) 9. Published on the Danish National Research Database 10. Download as CSV file 8 universities Research databases & Repositories BFI DOAJ Sherpa/Romeo 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8 9 10
- 21. *Definition of Open Access potential • In the DEFF OA-barometer pilot project the ‘green’ category alone was used as the indicator for OA-potential • However this will produce false-negatives • Commissioned a survey of the actual potential • SHERPA/RoMEO categories: • Green = OA Potential (pre and postprints) • Blue = OA Potential (postprints) • Yellow ≈ likely OA Potential • White ≠ not likely to have OA Potential • Analysis concluded to include “Yellow” in the calculation of OA-potential
- 22. *Definition of Open Access potential • In the DEFF OA-barometer pilot project the ‘green’ category alone was used as the indicator for OA-potential • However this will produce false-negatives • Commissioned a survey of the actual potential • SHERPA/RoMEO categories: • Green = OA Potential (pre and postprints) • Blue = OA Potential (postprints) • Yellow ≈ likely OA Potential • White ≠ not likely to have OA Potential • Analysis concluded to include “Yellow” in the calculation of OA-potential 6% 9% 85% Analysis of Yellow SHERPA/RoMEO type Information missing no yes
- 23. Coming add-ons and possible improvements • Add External repositories and authoritative check repository list, including Danish universities OJS-servers • Handling the OA-potential calculation better including long embargo periods and exceptions in national licenses • More frequent measurements/harvests (monthly)
