Course Summary
The rise of open access and associated compliance requirements has created an increasing role for librarians in supporting pre-publication workflows for journal articles and other research outputs. It has also led research institutions to develop a widening range of services and systems to support publication and manage compliance.
This course will give a basic introduction to this rapidly evolving area. In particular it will:
- provide an overview of the research and funding landscape
- outline the key stages in the publication lifecycle of a journal article from submission to publication, noting the key differences between Green and Gold publication
- summarise the typical requirements for compliance with government policies and funder mandates, and relate these to the publication routes for Green and Gold publication
- the complementary roles of publishers, libraries and intermediaries in supporting these stages, and the typical activities that they each perform during the life-cycle
- explain the part that preprints play in scholarly communication
- look at selected services, systems and standards designed to support and manage the process
- explain how new policies (eg Plan S) are affecting compliance requirements
Why you should attend
This course will be valuable to those working in research management, libraries, publishers and intermediaries. It will be useful for new entrants at practitioner level wishing to gain an overview of processes and players, but also for senior managers needing a summary of a rapidly growing area. Whilst some elements may focus more specifically on the policy and compliance context in the UK, it will nevertheless also be of relevance to international members.
Learning objectives
- Understand the key stages in publication of a journal article in relation to open access and compliance
- Be able to summarise typical compliance criteria, and relate these to the publication lifecycle
- Understand the basic roles of funders, research managers, libraries, publishers, intermediaries at each stage
- Be aware of the key services, systems and metadata standards which support workflows
Course Level and previous knowledge required
This course offers an introductory, entry-level overview and no previous knowledge is required, although some awareness of the different types of scholarly journals and open access models (such as Green and Gold) may be useful.
Please note that this is not a detailed practical or technical course and it will not go into detail about how specific services or systems function, or how to optimise workflows. Instead the course gives a high-level, introductory overview of the essential elements of processes and systems, providing the conceptual foundation for other more specific training in the use of particular services and systems.
Supporting Information package
This will be sent to registered delegates in advance of the seminar. The course organisers have compiled an optional Open Access pre-Course Reading List for attendees - all items will be openly available. In addition, we encourage delegates to listen to the recording of the UKSG webinar on Working with Open Access (7 October 2019) which introduces the basic concepts of Open Access and how they work together to build wider access to knowledge.

Preprints and their place in the publication ecosystem
Frank Norman
Head of Library & Information Services
Retired
My career as a librarian started in the pharmaceutical industry and then in a hospital library. In 1989 I joined the library at the National Institute for Medical Research, initially providing information services to biological scientists and later managing the whole service. Serials management was a major part of my role and I first became involved in open access advocacy and support in the early 2000s. My role transferred to the Francis Crick Institute in 2015 and I became responsible for a completely digital library service. I have been advocating for preprints for a few years and am a member of the advisory board for bioRxiv. I am currently a member of the UKSG Education Subcommittee. |
