1 Introduction
 “Open-access literature
is digital, online, free of
charge, and free of
most copyright and
licensing restrictions”
(Suber, 2006).
 Open access is a
“vision”.
• We are convinced that
the scientific
communication system
will work better with this
model.
3
1 Introduction (ii)
 Maturity of the movement
•10+ years from first declarations: Budapest
(2002), Berlin (2003), Bethesda (2003).
•Well known by academics, publishers, librarians,
etc.
 Institutional support
•European Union: Horizon 2020.
•Spain: Ley de la Ciencia y la Tecnología (2011).
•Universities: mandates.
4
1.1 How much OA?
 Several studies, based on inferences from
samples.
 20,4% of the total (Bjork, 2010)
•8,5%, in publishers’ portals (“gold” route)
•11,9% in repositories (“green” route)
 37,8% (Chen, 2014)
•Same methodology as Bjork (2010)
5 5
1.2 Authors’ perspective
 Several advantages
•More visibility.
•More audience (downloads).
•More impact (citations).
 Obligation to publish in OA.
•H2020, universities’ mandates, etc.
•They have to know the conditions of their
publications’ copyright licences for archiving
them in repositories.
6
1.3 Publishers’ perspective
 They are adapting their business model to
the OA framework.
•Introducing APC (Article Processing Charges) [v.
2.2.1].
•Seeking economic support (universities, funding
bodies, etc.). [v. 2.2.2].
 They are adapting copyright licences to
make it easier for authors to include their
publications in personal webpages and
repositories.
7
1.4 Objectives
1. Analyse the main challenges of open
access journals.
•To increase quantity.
•To consolidate new business models (or means
of financing).
•To be recognized for quality.
1. Analyse the situation of Spanish
communication journals in relation to open
access.
8
2 Open access journals
 Their quality and recognition are similar to
commercial ones.
•Based on peer review.
 But … they have to:
Increase their proportion in the academic
journals scenario. [v. 2.1]
Consolidate their business models and
economic sustainability. [v. 2.2]
Avoid “contamination” from predatory
journals. [v. 2.3]

Fig. 1. Main sources of data
10
2.1 Some data about OA journals
 By “quality”: (Source: Ulrich’s)
• 9 % journals in JCR (930 of 10,036)
• 13 % of peer review journals (8,703 of 67,495)
 By country: (Source: Ulrich’s)
• Brazil: 63%
• Spain: 37%
• USA: 9%
 By fields: (Archambault, 2013)
• Biomedicine: 61%
• Social sciences: 32%
• Communication & Textual Studies: 21% (21st of 22
fields).

2.2 How to finance OA journals?
 [Subscription]
 Article processing charges (APC)
 Public financing
 Consortia of users
 Other ways
13
2.2.1 Article Processing Charges (APC)
 Publishing charge payment by the author
using research funds.
 Cost: from 400 to 3.000 euros per paper.
 Common in health sciences and in countries
with well-financed research.
 Some data (from DOAJ):
•32% of journals use APC.
•Mainly in Medicine, Science, etc.
•Low presence in Social sciences and, especially,
in Communication journals.
14

Fig. 4. Non APC journals by subject
16
2.2.1 APC (ii)
 Finch report (2012) adopts / defends this
kind of author-side payment.
 It permits the reconversion of the publishing
industry (ex., OpenChoice, de Springer).
 New publishers have appeared: PLOS,
BioMedCentral, Hindawi, etc.
 H2020 and other research programs permit
APC.
17
2.2.2 Public financing
 Processing charges are paid by public
administration (universities, research
centers, etc.).
 Very common in Humanities and Social
sciences (little funding for research).
 Prevalent in countries from the scientific
periphery.
18
2.2.2 Public financing (ii)
 Best example: Brazil (Rodrigues, Abadal, 2014)
•More than 90% of high quality journals are OA.
•More than 250 journals in WoS and Scopus.
 How? (mechanisms)
•Public administration (CNPq, CAPES): annual
call of 2 M euros (for 200 best journals)
•Scielo: Dissemination platform.
•Universities: technical support, training, human
resources, etc.
19
2.2.3 Users’ consortia
 Agreement between big users for making
centralized payments which finance
publishers costs.
•Libraries (and consortia).
•Funder agencies and research institutes.
 Feasible in special and well defined fields
(for example, High energy physics).
 The individual payment is assigned
according to several indicators (scientific
production, uses, etc.)
 Example: SCOAP3 (begun January 2014).
20
2.2.4 Other ways
 Advertising
 Sale of services
•Print copies.
•Reprints (for authors).
 Comments:
•These complement the other ways mentioned
above.
•Options more often used for books than for
journals.
21
2.3 Predatory journals
 Journals without quality (in peer-review,
originality, scientific advisors, etc.).
 Priority: to obtain APCs paying no attention
to scientific content.
 Jeffrey Beall (librarian at Univ. Colorado)
•Blog (http://scholarlyoa.com/)
•Denounces bad practices and bad practitioners.
 List 2015
•More than 500 journals and 650 publishers
(“potential, possible, or probable”).

• 61 Communication journals (4%)
 Aspects
•Type of publisher

3.3 Self-archiving
 Publishing policies of journals with regard to
granting permission for self-archiving in open
access repositories (Sherpa-Romeo).
 Important for facilitating green route.
30
3.3 Self-archiving
31
Communication Total journals
White (not permitted) 5 % 13 %
Blue (post-print) 61 % 57 %
Green (pre- and post-
print)
23 % 20 %
Unknown 11 % 10 %
3.4 Open access
 How we can define an open access journal?
We will consider only the journals which are:
• gratis
• self-archiving (blue or green) is permitted
 Communication OA journals: 44 (77%).
 Spanish OA journals: 43%.
32
3.4 Open access (ii)
33
Green Blue White Unknown
Gratis 13 34 0 7 54 (88%)
Gratis after
an embargo

Hybrid 0 1 0 0 1 (2%)
Restricted 1 0 1 0 2 (3%)
14 (23%) 37
(61%)
3 (5%) 7 (11%)
4 Conclusions
 The main challenge to OA journals now is,
probably, to find sustainability models and
also battle for quality against predatory
journals.
 In Spain, communication journals have
adopted by a large majority the open access
model.
• 88 % are gratis immediately
• 84 % grant permission to self-archive
• 77 % open access (crossing both conditions).
3434
4 Conclusions (ii)
 These figures are over the average and the
explanation lies in the proportion of
academic and governmental publishers
(90% for communication respect to 57% for
all journals).

Communication journals and open access

  • 1. 1st International Conference on Academic Communication Journals (Barcelona, 27/02/2015) Communication journals and open access Ernest Abadal Facultat de Biblioteconomia i Documentació Universitat de Barcelona abadal@ub.edu
  • 2. Contents 2 1. Introduction 2. Open access journals 1. Some data 2. How to finance OA journals? 3. Predatory journals 3. Situation in Spain 4. Conclusions 5. Bibliography
  • 3. 1 Introduction  “Open-access literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions” (Suber, 2006).  Open access is a “vision”. • We are convinced that the scientific communication system will work better with this model. 3
  • 4. 1 Introduction (ii)  Maturity of the movement •10+ years from first declarations: Budapest (2002), Berlin (2003), Bethesda (2003). •Well known by academics, publishers, librarians, etc.  Institutional support •European Union: Horizon 2020. •Spain: Ley de la Ciencia y la Tecnología (2011). •Universities: mandates. 4
  • 5. 1.1 How much OA?  Several studies, based on inferences from samples.  20,4% of the total (Bjork, 2010) •8,5%, in publishers’ portals (“gold” route) •11,9% in repositories (“green” route)  37,8% (Chen, 2014) •Same methodology as Bjork (2010) 5 5
  • 6. 1.2 Authors’ perspective  Several advantages •More visibility. •More audience (downloads). •More impact (citations).  Obligation to publish in OA. •H2020, universities’ mandates, etc. •They have to know the conditions of their publications’ copyright licences for archiving them in repositories. 6
  • 7. 1.3 Publishers’ perspective  They are adapting their business model to the OA framework. •Introducing APC (Article Processing Charges) [v. 2.2.1]. •Seeking economic support (universities, funding bodies, etc.). [v. 2.2.2].  They are adapting copyright licences to make it easier for authors to include their publications in personal webpages and repositories. 7
  • 8. 1.4 Objectives 1. Analyse the main challenges of open access journals. •To increase quantity. •To consolidate new business models (or means of financing). •To be recognized for quality. 1. Analyse the situation of Spanish communication journals in relation to open access. 8
  • 9. 2 Open access journals  Their quality and recognition are similar to commercial ones. •Based on peer review.  But … they have to: Increase their proportion in the academic journals scenario. [v. 2.1] Consolidate their business models and economic sustainability. [v. 2.2] Avoid “contamination” from predatory journals. [v. 2.3] 9
  • 10. Fig. 1. Main sources of data 10
  • 11. 2.1 Some data about OA journals  By “quality”: (Source: Ulrich’s) • 9 % journals in JCR (930 of 10,036) • 13 % of peer review journals (8,703 of 67,495)  By country: (Source: Ulrich’s) • Brazil: 63% • Spain: 37% • USA: 9%  By fields: (Archambault, 2013) • Biomedicine: 61% • Social sciences: 32% • Communication & Textual Studies: 21% (21st of 22 fields). 11
  • 12. Fig. 2. Communication journals in DOAJ (108 titles) 12
  • 13. 2.2 How to finance OA journals?  [Subscription]  Article processing charges (APC)  Public financing  Consortia of users  Other ways 13
  • 14. 2.2.1 Article Processing Charges (APC)  Publishing charge payment by the author using research funds.  Cost: from 400 to 3.000 euros per paper.  Common in health sciences and in countries with well-financed research.  Some data (from DOAJ): •32% of journals use APC. •Mainly in Medicine, Science, etc. •Low presence in Social sciences and, especially, in Communication journals. 14
  • 15. Fig. 3. APC journals by subject 15
  • 16. Fig. 4. Non APC journals by subject 16
  • 17. 2.2.1 APC (ii)  Finch report (2012) adopts / defends this kind of author-side payment.  It permits the reconversion of the publishing industry (ex., OpenChoice, de Springer).  New publishers have appeared: PLOS, BioMedCentral, Hindawi, etc.  H2020 and other research programs permit APC. 17
  • 18. 2.2.2 Public financing  Processing charges are paid by public administration (universities, research centers, etc.).  Very common in Humanities and Social sciences (little funding for research).  Prevalent in countries from the scientific periphery. 18
  • 19. 2.2.2 Public financing (ii)  Best example: Brazil (Rodrigues, Abadal, 2014) •More than 90% of high quality journals are OA. •More than 250 journals in WoS and Scopus.  How? (mechanisms) •Public administration (CNPq, CAPES): annual call of 2 M euros (for 200 best journals) •Scielo: Dissemination platform. •Universities: technical support, training, human resources, etc. 19
  • 20. 2.2.3 Users’ consortia  Agreement between big users for making centralized payments which finance publishers costs. •Libraries (and consortia). •Funder agencies and research institutes.  Feasible in special and well defined fields (for example, High energy physics).  The individual payment is assigned according to several indicators (scientific production, uses, etc.)  Example: SCOAP3 (begun January 2014). 20
  • 21. 2.2.4 Other ways  Advertising  Sale of services •Print copies. •Reprints (for authors).  Comments: •These complement the other ways mentioned above. •Options more often used for books than for journals. 21
  • 22. 2.3 Predatory journals  Journals without quality (in peer-review, originality, scientific advisors, etc.).  Priority: to obtain APCs paying no attention to scientific content.  Jeffrey Beall (librarian at Univ. Colorado) •Blog (http://scholarlyoa.com/) •Denounces bad practices and bad practitioners.  List 2015 •More than 500 journals and 650 publishers (“potential, possible, or probable”). 22
  • 23. Fig. 5. Journal home page 23
  • 24. Fig. 6. Publisher’s portal web 24
  • 25. 3 Situation in Spain  Source: Dulcinea database  Journals •1,711 Spanish academic journals (active) • 61 Communication journals (4%)  Aspects •Type of publisher •Type of access •Self-archiving permission •Open access 25
  • 26. Fig. 7. Source of data 26
  • 27. 3.1 Publisher type 27 Communication Total journals Private non-profit 18 % 23 % Commercial 7 % 17 % Government 3 % 7 % Academic 72 % 50 %
  • 28. 3.2 Type of access 28 Type of access Examples Gratis Publisher pays the cost (universities, etc.) Gratis after an embargo Content can be accessed after a period of time. Hybrid Subscription journals with OA articles (via APC). Restricted to subscribers
  • 29. 3.2 Type of access (ii) 29 Type of access Communication Total of journals Gratis 88 % 70 % Gratis after an embargo 7 % 11 % Hybrid 2 % 1 % Restricted to subscribers 3 % 15 %
  • 30. 3.3 Self-archiving  Publishing policies of journals with regard to granting permission for self-archiving in open access repositories (Sherpa-Romeo).  Important for facilitating green route. 30
  • 31. 3.3 Self-archiving 31 Communication Total journals White (not permitted) 5 % 13 % Blue (post-print) 61 % 57 % Green (pre- and post- print) 23 % 20 % Unknown 11 % 10 %
  • 32. 3.4 Open access  How we can define an open access journal? We will consider only the journals which are: • gratis • self-archiving (blue or green) is permitted  Communication OA journals: 44 (77%).  Spanish OA journals: 43%. 32
  • 33. 3.4 Open access (ii) 33 Green Blue White Unknown Gratis 13 34 0 7 54 (88%) Gratis after an embargo 0 2 2 0 4 (7%) Hybrid 0 1 0 0 1 (2%) Restricted 1 0 1 0 2 (3%) 14 (23%) 37 (61%) 3 (5%) 7 (11%)
  • 34. 4 Conclusions  The main challenge to OA journals now is, probably, to find sustainability models and also battle for quality against predatory journals.  In Spain, communication journals have adopted by a large majority the open access model. • 88 % are gratis immediately • 84 % grant permission to self-archive • 77 % open access (crossing both conditions). 3434
  • 35. 4 Conclusions (ii)  These figures are over the average and the explanation lies in the proportion of academic and governmental publishers (90% for communication respect to 57% for all journals). 3535
