5. To
make
physicists
appreciate
Open
Access
(Gold)
one
must
consider
all
aspects
of
the
scien:fic
publica:on
process

6. Scien5fic
Publica5ons
….
• ..are
necessary
to
disseminate
new
scien;fic
results
(«
business
card
»
for
a
researcher
).
• ..
Guarantee
a
minimum
level
of
scien;fic
quality
(thanks
to
well
organized
peer
review)
• ..are
cited
(or
not...
)
by
the
peers.
#
cita;ons
=
scien;fic
quality
?
• ..make
all
the
difference
for
the
career
of
a
scien;st
(promo;on,
financial
support,..
)
• Cost
money
,
that
should
be
financed
by
any
research
grant/budget
How
much
money
is
spent
for
scien;fic
publica;ons
?

7. The
scien5st
wants….
• ..an
easy
access,
large
exposure,
for
a
long
;me
,
of
his
publica;ons.
• ..a
professional,
efficient
and
rapid
publica;on
process
• ..an
indexa;on
in
the
databases
used
by
evalua;on
commi?ees
(ISI).
• ..a
direct
involvement
(of
his
scien;fic
community)
in
the
editorial
policy.
• ..the
right
price
to
publish
in
and/or
to
have
access
to
his
favorite
journals.
• ..
«
pres;ge
»
(=
publica;on
in
a
journal
with
high
rejec;on
rate).
Vicious
circle:
pres;ge
is
rewarded
by
research
organiza;ons
who
struggle
with
excessive
publica;on
costs.

8. The
tradi5onal
model….
• Subscrip:on
based
model:
-­‐
Access
sold
by
publisher.
-­‐
Scien;fic
organiza;ons
subscribe
to
access.
-­‐
Publica;on
is
for
free.
• Scien;fic
editors
set
up
a
peer
review
system
and
deal
with
the
paper
and/or
on-­‐line
version,
and
organize
the
sale.
• Several
editors
are
completely
integrated
into
learned
socie:es,
with
large
benefits.
• Authors
transfer
the
copyright
to
the
publisher.
• «
Preprints
»
are
deposited
before
publica;on
by
the
authors
at
open-­‐access
repositories.

17. The
pro’s
of
Open
Access
Gold
• Big
Packages
can
no
longer
be
imposed
by
publisher
• Transfer
of
copyright
is
replaced
by
the
license
Crea:ve
Commons.
• EC
and
US
libraries
no
longer
suffer
from
the
rise
of
publica;ons
from
BRIC.
• Consistency
with
Berlin
Declara;on
and
EC
policy:
à
at
the
same
;me
the
green
archives
take
again
their
role
of
pre-­‐print
server
and
should
not
disappear!
• Avoids
the
hybrid
model
that
gives
scien;sts
the
impression
to
pay
twice
for
the
publica;on.
• Regulate
the
number
of
publica;ons
per
author

18. The
cons
of
Open
Access
Gold
• In
OAG:
revenues
are
propor;onal
to
number
of
publica;ons,
not
number
of
readers
Commercial
interests
may
conflict
with
scien;fic
quality.
à
accept
more
low
–
quality
papers
,
make
more
money
Solu;on:
OAG
organism-­‐
or
consor;um-­‐
payed
model
à
reject
many
papers
and
ask
large
OA
fee
(pres;ge
problem
becomes
bigger!)
Solu;on
:
convince
research
organiza;ons
,
evalua;on
commi?ees
and
funding
agencies;
Huge
role
for
learned
socie;es
• A
rapid
transi;on
subscrip;on
à
OAG
is
difficult,
expensive.,
irreversible.
Will
OAG
be
cheaper?
In
the
long
yes,
says
UK
• The
wish
to
go
OAG
is
not
uniformly
shared
à
pluri-­‐disciplinary
policy
difficult.

of
