NRF OA Statement reflection:
• International Council for Science (ICSU)– Provided input & endorsed ICSU OA Statement– unites representatives of 120 national scientific academies and 31 international scientific unions
• 5 key goals for open access, and • 12 recommendations

NRF OA Statement reflection:• ICSU five goals
– access to the scientific record should be free of financial barriers for any researcher to contribute to;
– free of financial barriers for any user to access immediately on publication;
– made available without restriction on reuse for any purpose, subject to proper attribution;
– quality‐assured and published in a timelymanner; – and archived and made available in perpetuity.

NRF OA Statement reflection:
• Global Research Council– Funding agencies – important role in initiating & shaping OA transition
– Success of Gold/Green Route depends on the understanding/readiness of the research community
12
![Page 13: Daisy robert midrand taylor francis indaba](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c6cafabb61eb6d3d8b456f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Principles of a transition???
• How the transition to OA can be initiated?
• How the evolving OA environment can be sustained after the transition phase?

Transition to OA requires actions from other stakeholders:
NRF Recognised InstitutionsUniversities
Research LibrariesScholarly AssociationsPublishing Houses
![Page 15: Daisy robert midrand taylor francis indaba](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c6cafabb61eb6d3d8b456f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What a Funding Agency is expected to do!
• By recommending/requiring OA to publicly funded research results– Ensure investment has optimal impact on science and society
– Requires thorough monitoring of funded publications and related costs
– Ensure research data whether already in existence/yet to be produced is accessible
• research data “ factual records used as primary sources for scientific research…commonly accepted in scientific community necessary to validate research findings. A research data set constitutes a systematic, partial representation of the subject being investigated ”

Elements of transition to OA
• Funders expected to pickup suggestions (action plans) which it can implement in accordance with its general working principles
16
![Page 17: Daisy robert midrand taylor francis indaba](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c6cafabb61eb6d3d8b456f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What Funding Agencies can do! • Develop open access
statement/policies
• Address copyright
• explains reasons to have research results made openly available.
• Important guidance for all grantees.
• Funding guidelines modified in a manner that prevents researchers to transfer copyright exclusively to a publisher.
• Provide legal basis for deposit of research articles in an OA repository.
• Within a grant proposal, allow grantees to apply for an earmarked budget to cover publication fees etc.
17
![Page 18: Daisy robert midrand taylor francis indaba](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c6cafabb61eb6d3d8b456f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What Funding Agencies can do! • Cover publication fees
• Contribute to central publication funds
• Within a grant proposal, allow grantees to apply for an earmarked budget to cover publication fees etc.
• Publication fees not given to researchers directly but to university as contribution to a central OA publication fund.

![Page 19: Daisy robert midrand taylor francis indaba](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c6cafabb61eb6d3d8b456f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What Funding Agencies can do!
• Reimburse publication costs after grant expiry
• Be clear on numbers and statistics
• Decision on whether to apply for reimbursement of OA publications charges after grant period is expired?
• A clear picture on how much budget is spent for OA publication fees.
19

What Funding Agencies can do! • Define re‐use rights
• Support open access journals run by academia
• agree on specific criteria that need to be fulfilled for the reimbursement of article fees! – re‐use of OA articles as defined by CC‐BY licenses.
• ONLY then researchers' will be able to exploit full potential of digital publications, including text and data mining.
• Consider options to support OA journals sustained by institutional/organisationalfunding

What Funding Agencies can do!
• Share costs with fellow agencies
• Much research is carried out in international teams whose work is funded by a variety of agencies.

22
![Page 23: Daisy robert midrand taylor francis indaba](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c6cafabb61eb6d3d8b456f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Researchers, Scholarly Associations, Students involvement
• Raise awareness and support knowledge and acceptance of OA
• Make authors think about costs and quality
• Define payment schemes for authors unable to pay

23
![Page 24: Daisy robert midrand taylor francis indaba](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c6cafabb61eb6d3d8b456f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Publisher involvement
• Be clear on conditions of self‐archiving‐Sherpa/RoMEO
• Define services –expected and want to buy
• Facilitate dealing with the practicalities of billing for OA
• Enable the transition
• Initiate earmarked funding programmes – i.eexisting journal subscriptions are switched into OA journals
• Revisit the hybrid model

Government /Industry/Public involvement
• Consider national copyright regulations
• OA polices that support commercial re‐use of research results
• Contribution to dissemination costs
• Conversations with Public regarding benefits of OA to society as a whole!

![Page 26: Daisy robert midrand taylor francis indaba](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c6cafabb61eb6d3d8b456f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What NRF OA Statement is about!• Not intended to place restrictions on type of publications to place on IR
• Will not routinely check compliance with Cis –institution responsible (DA’s)
• Material published in respect of NRF funded research activity be included in IR, non‐inclusion provided in Final Grant Report by Cis.

What NRF OA Statement is about!
• Not intended to apply to research data gathered for the purpose of commercialisationof research outcomes, or
• To research data that are the property of a private sector entity
• Compatibility of technical & procedural standards – relevant international data & documentation standards (interdisciplinary access to & use of research data).
