Open Access publishing at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology : Statistics for 2011-2021
- 2022
-
Rapport (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- In 2011, KTH Royal Institute of Technology adopted a policy on scientific publishing geared towards creating full accessibility of research output. The main objective of this report is to assess the long-term effects of this policy. To that end, we collected and analysed publishing data at KTH, along with related expenditures. More specifically, we track changes in counts and shares in open access publishing over the past decade, as well as describe trends at multiple levels of analysis, ranging from conference proceedings to journal article publishing at KTH and its affiliated schools. Additionally, we provide insight into both the past and present state of open access publishing, and briefly discuss the future of open access publishing at KTH. This report is aimed towards all interested in publishing practices at KTH. Throughout this report, we use concepts and definitions derived from prior year documentation and analysis of open access publishing at KTH.

Konferensbidrag (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Open Access publishing (OA) has been promoted by public institutions and research communities in many countries for some years now. Various categories encompassing different types and practices of OA are precisely described in definitions that now seem to be well-established. OA status is now available as part of a publication's metadata in all major publication databases, while some data sources such as Unpaywall are specifically dedicated to this type of information.At KTH, we monitor and document the effects of this shifting landscape and of policies promoting OA by means of an annual OA report focused on scientific publications by our researchers. This allows us to observe potential effects of KTH policy changes and to identify areas that the KTH management or the KTH library could support or strengthen. To this end, we collect the OA status (open, closed) and OA type (gold, diamond, hybrid, green) from Unpaywall for several publication types (journal articles, conference proceedings, theses, book chapters) and aggregate these data both for KTH as a whole and for each of its five schools. We also identify the journals in which KTH researchers publish the most and calculate the OA proportion of KTH publications in these. Finally, we take a look at the evolution of publishing-related costs for KTH and KTH schools and relate them to changes in the university's publishing policy.Results show that the OA share of KTH peer-reviewed publications has been globally increasing since 2011, strongly so for theses and journal articles. This is mainly due to the increase of gold and hybrid OA, despite the fact that journals where KTH authors publish the most are still mainly subscription-based. The increase in OA share is less pronounced for conference proceedings but nonetheless steady. A diversity of publishing practices in different research areas is revealed by the different OA publishing patterns at the different KTH schools. An overall increase in Article Processing Charges (APC) can be observed, related to both the increase of the number of hybrid and gold OA publications and to the implementation of new transformative agreements with several publishers.We discuss the consequences of the current university policy and compare it to alternative policies supporting OA while limiting the increase of publishing costs. We also reflect upon the extent to which researchers can be guided towards better OA practices and the role a university library may play in the process. Considering the questions of sustainability in a foreseeable future and of equity in the scientific publishing landscape paramount, we strongly value input from various actors within open science communities in order to build a sound reference framework for OA-supporting policies.

Parallellpublicering av konferensartiklar : principer, tillämpningar och tillgänglighet i svenska publiceringsdatabaser
- 2012
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Projektets huvudsyfte har varit att undersöka kvalitetsgranskade konferensartiklars tillgänglighet samt konferensers OA- och publiceringspolicies för att på så sätt klarlägga olika aspekter vad det gäller parallellpublicering i svenska publiceringsdatabaser. För ändamålet har projektdeltagarna undersökt ett urval konferenser och konferensartiklar via sina publiceringsdatabaser under ett specifikt tidsintervall och beskrivit dem utifrån ett gemensamt schema.Undersökningen har visat att publiceringsdatabaserna fyller en viktig funktion för att synliggöra konferenspublikationer. Vi har funnit att minst ca. 50 % av konferensartiklarna kan publiceras som post-prints i våra publiceringsdatabaser. Därför är det av stor vikt att fortsätta arbetet med att utnyttja de lokala publiceringsdatabaserna som publiceringskanal och att inte bara använda dem som ett verktyg för parallellpublicering och primärpublicerat material, som avhandlingar och rapporter, utan även som en källa framförallt för konferensartiklar ”utan hem”, som vi nu vet utgör en stor del av vårt undersökningsmaterial (ca. 15 %).Mellan 20-25 % av de undersökta artiklarna fanns i något slags öppet OA-arkiv; ca. hälften av dessa fanns i någon av projektdeltagarnas egen publiceringsdatabas. Detta talar för att den egna publiceringsdatabasen är en viktig faktor för öppen tillgänglighet.Ca. 10% av konferenserna i studien hade en uttrycklig OA-policy eller gav uttryck för en sådan genom att öppet tillgängliggöra konferensartiklar på sina konferenssajter. Ett stort problem när det gäller parallellpublicering av konferensartiklar är just bristen på information om OA-policy.Konferenspubliceringslandskapet är komplicerat och parallellpubliceringen av dokument härifrån är mycket tidskrävande. Vi skulle framför allt önska en liknande policy-resurs som SHERPA/RoMEO för konferenser. Men för närvarande finns inget annat alternativ än att lusläsa konferensernas upphovsrättsinformation till författarna och av denna försöka dra slutsatser om ev. parallellpublicering.För att underlätta framtida hantering och klassificering av konferensartiklar i svenska publicerings-databaser, framför allt med tanke på ev. framtida nationella bibliometriska analyser via SwePub, föreslås ett antal rekommendationer.

Open Access-publicering vid svenska lärosäten : en kartläggning av året 2011
- 2014
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Syftet med projektet har varit att undersöka hur stor del av den svenska forskningen som har publicerats open access under publiceringsåret 2011. Vi har studerat den totala andelen open access-publikationer, både så kallad guld och grön open access, dels nationellt och dels per lärosäte. Vi har också velat undersöka hur stor andel av artiklarna i vårt underlag som skulle kunna parallellpubliceras enligt SHERPA/RoMEO, men där så inte skett. Ett vidare syfte har även varit att ta fram metodik för att skapa förutsättningar för framtida mätningar av svensk OA-publicering.

Open Access Publishing at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology : Statistics for 2011 - 2015
- 2016
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- During 2011, a policy for scholarly publishing was implemented at KTH.1 The policy states that researchers at KTH should strive to publish open access, either through well-reputed open accessjournals or by self-archiving in KTH publication database DiVA. Publications published by KTH – i.e dissertations, bachelor and master theses, reports – are to be self-archived in DiVA as a general rule. In this report, shares and trends of open access publishing at KTH are analysed starting from the same year the policy was implemented, in 2011. A report that analyses open access at KTH will then be released annually.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Under 2013 genomfördes en studie över andelen open access (OA) i Sverige. Projektet finansierades av Kungliga bibliotekets program Openaccess.se. I undersökningen, som använde SwePub som index, studerades hur stor del av svenska forskningsartiklar med publiceringsår 2011 som är OA. Analysen gäller dels andelen guld och grön OA, men också hur stor del av de publicerade artiklarna som skulle kunna parallellpubliceras enligt förlagens villkor. Analysen visar att andelen OA-artiklar som publicerades under år 2011 uppgick till cirka 17 procent, varav guld OA 10 procent och grön OA 10 procent. Detta indikerar ett överlapp av artiklar som är både guld och grön OA på cirka 3 procent. Räknar man även in så kallat fördröjd OA så uppgår den totala mängden OA-artiklar år 2011 till uppemot 25 procent. Resultatet visar vidare att ytterligare en stor mängd artiklar skulle kunna parallellpubliceras enligt informationen i Sherpa/RoMEO.

Accessibility and self-archiving of conference articles : A study on a selection of Swedish institutional repositories
- 2011

Ingår i: Information Services and Use. - Guimarães : IOS Press. - 0167-5265 .- 1875-8789. ; 31:3-4, s. 259-269, s. 123-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The main purpose of this project has been to examine the accessibility of refereed conference articles and the OA- and publishing policies of conferences in order to in this way elucidate different aspects concerning self-archiving in Swedish institutional repositories. For this purpose, the project participants have examined a number of conferences and references to conference articles via their institutional repositories during a specific time period and described these from the perspective of a common scheme. The study has showed that the local institutional repositories fill an important role to make conference publications visible. We have found that ca. 50% of the conference papers can be published as postprints in our institutional repositories. We have noticed that ca. 15% or the studied conference articles are not available at all. It is, therefore, of great importance to use local institutional repositories as a publishing channel, not only for primary published material such as dissertations and reports, but also as a source for finding these conference articles "without a home". Between 20-25% of the examined articles were found in some type of OA archive; ca. half of these were found in one of the project participants' own institutional repositories. This indicates that the publishing database of respective higher education institution is an important factor for open accessibility. Ca. 10% of the conferences in the study had an explicit OA policy or expressed such a policy by openly making conference articles accessible on their conference sites. A big problem when it comes to self-archiving of conference articles is the lack of information about OA policy. The landscape of conference publishing is complex and the self-archiving of documents from conferences is very time-consuming. Above all, we would wish a policy resource for conferences similar to the SHERPA/RoMEO. At present, however, there is no other alternative than scrutinizing the conferences' copyright information to the authors and from this attempt to draw conclusions about possible self-archiving. To facilitate the future handling and classification of conference articles in Swedish institutional repositories a number of recommendations are suggested.
