    Publication and self-archiving


    Author writes paper
    Submits to journal Paper refereed Revised by author Author submits final version Published in journal Deposits in e-print repository

    Who has an interest in selfarchiving?


    Authors/researchers
    Editors

    Publishers University management

    Libraries

    What are their objectives?


    Authors disseminate their research and further their career Publishers make money (if commercial), cover costs (not-for-profit). Learned societies in-between? University management maximise intellectual capital for competitive advantage (high RAE ratings generate income). Reduce library costs Libraries provide as wide a range of material as possible for users within their budget

    Self-archiving universities
    Pros:
    Organises, manages and shares research output (especially for RAE) and protects its intellectual property Raises profile of university and badges research with university identity May ultimately reduce costs of journal subscriptions

    Cons:
    Cost of running repository and ensuring all research publications are deposited Impact on research ratings if research not published in prestigious journals while current model is in place

    Self-archiving libraries
    Pros:
    Opportunity to be more involved in scholarly communication process by running institutional repositories Advocacy process will strengthen links with academic departments Librarians have appropriate skills (metadata) May be solution to journals financial crisis?

    Cons:
    Additional cost of advocacy and running the repository (e.g. copyright clearance, metadata creation) unless project or centrally funded

    Self-archiving authors
    Pros:
    Dissemination of research more quickly Impact of research more citations Access to research easier and repositories cross-searchable

    Cons:
    Extra work Need publication in reputable journals for RAE, promotion Unpopular if seen as driven by managerial considerations

    Academics concerns about selfarchiving


    Whats in it for me? Extra work Copyright Quality control Plagiarism Preservation

    How can we encourage selfarchiving?


    Advocacy
    With academics and university managers Departmental meetings, university committees Champions Cultural issues

    Make the self-archiving process as easy as possible, and/or provide staff to deposit e-prints and add metadata Address copyright concerns ROMEO/Sherpa list http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo.php

    How can we encourage selfarchiving?


    Quality control peer reviewed material only or keep pre-prints separate
    Plagiarism allay worries; software Preservation university repositories more stable than individual or subject repositories

    Conclusions
    Cultural and organisational issues are more important than technical ones
    Self-archiving is being promoted alongside the current scholarly publishing model but financial savings for libraries (and universities) will only happen if that model changes
