Three ways to open access
Gold OA: Open access journals, which
may or
may not charge a publishing fee.
Hybrid OA: Subscription based journals, where
authors can buy their own articles open access.
Self-archiving, also known as
green open access
,
refers to the practice of depositing articles in an
institutional repository or a subject repository. An
embargo period is usually needed.
Why Green Open Access?
The
Finnish perspective
In May 2016 the European Union announced that
"
all scientific articles in Europe must be freely
accessible as of 2020
"
Also Finland has set its goals for open access:
60 % OA in 2017, 90 % in 2020.
In Finland all researchers are encouraged (forced)
to publish in journals listed in
Finnish Publication forum
How many
open access journals
do you think
there are listed in Finnish Publication forum?
Why Green Open Access?
Publication forum
Level 3 (the highest level):
1,5 %
OA-journals
Level 2:
1,3 %
OA-journals
Level 1 (the lowest):
4,5 %
OA-journals
There is
absolutely no way
that Finland could in any way base
it´s development of open science in gold open access!
Even though Finland has made hybrid OA deals with Taylor &
Francis and Sage, and maybe one day with Elsevier too…
Not to mention what these deals would cost us.
Why Green Open Access?
Of course we have to support OA-
publishing and Gold OA, but alone these
are not a solution … to anything.
Unless we make a total change of
paradigm in scientific publishing, we´ll
need green open access (self-archiving)
because:
it´s cheap, it´s efficient, it´s
easy, it doesn´t require (almost) anything
from researchers, it gives tools for
evaluating research output, and because
it gives common good for everybody.
Who´s business is green open
access?
Term
self-archiving
hints that it is the author,
who should take care of green OA.
BUT we believe it is not …
University libraries are the key players and
librarians should take care of everything.
Authors just take care of their files.
Our experience suggest that in order to
succeed, practices of green OA need to be
centralized.
Situation in Finland
Number of deposited articles in universities repositories
What has happened?
A big step has been taken in creation of
centralized services; population of CRIS
(research information system) and process of self-
archiving are now libraries´ business.
Researchers don´t have to worry about reporting
of their publications or the green open access –
it is taken care of on their behalf.
But this is reality only in few universities.
So is everything ok and openness of Finnish
research is on it´s way up?
No.
What is being deposited?
Deposited articles in 2015
If final drafts are not
deposited…
Process of self-archiving is
not
working
the way it should.
We don´t get anything from the authors.
We just deposit what is already open
somewhere else.
We don´t boost for open access.
Openness in Finland does not increase.
We are not doing what we should do!
We are only wishing not acting!
Development of green OA
Deposited articles in institutional repositories vs. total number of articles
in 4 Universities in Finland
Development in University of
Jyväskylä
Development in University of
Jyväskylä
How did we do it in the
University of Jyväskylä?
Processes of CRIS and repository –
cataloguing and publishing work
seamlessly together.
Interoperability of IT-systems. A necessity.
Question of expertise, learning process,
growth of knowledge, working in a small
group of specialists.
Constant communication with researchers
- show them benefits, make them think.
Keeping it simple.
Service model for open science in
University of Jyväskylä:
Open Science Centre
Centre started officially in January 2017
University library and University museums
merged together
All open science activities centralized
Coordination of IT-services for research
groups
All publishing activities working together;
publishing, cataloging, reporting, open
access, system development… The
lifecycle of a publication in one hands
No demands for researchers
but demand for services
If we set goals for open science, we have
to understand what these goals require:
- infrastructure
- services
- open science goals have to be strategic
goals
Somebody needs to take the responsibility
Need for centralized service models –
Open Science Centres

This presentation discusses the importance of Green Open Access in Finland, exploring the reasons behind its adoption, different access models like Gold OA and self-archiving, and the role of university libraries in supporting and centralizing Green OA practices. It also touches upon the European Union's mandate for open access by 2020 and Finland's specific goals in this realm.
