@oapenuk #oapenuk

1. Institutional representatives including librarians, institutional repository staff, research managers

2. Publishers3. Learned Societies4. Researchers (as both

authors & readers)5. E-book aggregators6. Research Funders

Focus Groups: Key themesMetadata: What is the metadata required to support discovery, purchase, libraries, research funders?

Versioning, preservation & archiving: What is the version of record, how is it preserved (centrally?) and who provides archival access?

Usage: data collection methods and standards to support comparability of data

Methods of delivery: where should OA monographs sit, in what formats, with what functionality and using what standards?

Quality & prestige: impact of perceptions on adoption of a OA model and need to maintain excellence

What do authors want: readership, research dissemination, academic prestige and reward including the REF

Focus Groups: Key themesCopyright: ownership, licensing and rights associated with images

Benefits of OA: how to articulate opportunities; access and costs savings?

International issues: not just UK market, need to account for territories, translation etc.

Changing roles: who does what in an OA model, what are the roles for publishers, librarians etc., which to keep, which to start and which to discontinue?

Impact on processes: policies, mandates, funding routes, payment and behaviour

Consistency: should licensing, standards, peer review be standardised? Does one size fit all?

Focus Groups: Key themes

Ways to make OA profitable: how can publishers / ebook aggregators add value to content? Overlay services

Risk: how will the financial, reputational and quality risks be overcome?

Funding: who pays and how?

Calculating costs: what is the cost of an OA monograph and is it the same for all publishers, subjects?

Conclusions

• Considerable potential for OAPEN-UK-style open access model – paper and e still required

• Need to increase confidence and understanding of Creative Commons

• A push for CC BY may alienate researchers??• Need to consider future roles• Encourage authors to care more about post

publication elements• Quality is paramount – need to ensure that OA

model tackles negative perceptions
