World Bank Open Access Policy
Challenges and Opportunities
Jose de Buerba, Sr. Publishing Officer, The World Bank
AgNIC 18th Annual Meeting May 15, 2013
“We need to do development differently” Robert B. Zoellick, Former President, The World Bank Group
New Direction: Democratizing Development
We need to throw open the doors, recognizing that others can find and create their own solutions. And this open research revolution is underway. We need to recognize that development knowledge is no longer the sole province of the researcher, the scholar, or the ivory tower. The aim is to open the treasure chest of the World Bank’s data and knowledge to every village health care worker, every researcher, everyone. Georgetown University, September 2010

Strategic Review ofWorld Bank Publishing
or
Open Access Publishing
Why an Open Access Policy?
• To provide greater access to Bank research and knowledge outputs
• To encourage innovation allowing use and re-use (i.e., derivative works, translations, etc.)
• To join a growing Open Access community (e.g., governments, universities, and other institutions)
• To align Bank’s Publishing with Bank’s Open Development Agenda
Policy Scope
WB OA Policy applies to manuscripts and accompanying data sets that:
(a) that result from research, analysis, economic and sector work, or development practice;
(b) that have undergone peer review or have been otherwise vetted and approved for release to the public; and
(c) for which approval for release is given on or after July 1, 2012.
1. For works published by the Bank− Available immediately in OKR
− Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY)
2. For works by Bank staff published externally (mostly papers)
‒ Working paper version available immediately in OKR under CC BY
‒ Final, peer-reviewed Accepted Author Manuscript (AAM), available in OKR after Publisher's embargo under CC BY NC ND (unless more liberal license is accepted)
Policy Requirements

Internal Training
Four Comparative Advantages
1. Optimal Discoverability: • Interoperable with other repositories• Adherence to Open Access standards (Dublin Core
metadata and OAI-PMH)• Systematic metadata curation process
2. Intuitive Interface: • Several browse options, advanced search, most viewed
content, citation information, permanent links, etc.• Built on Dspace - OA platform
3. Allows Use, Reuse and Building-on Bank’s Work: • CC BY copyright license
4. New Content: • Content published by external Publishers
1 million downloads in 1 year (44% from developing countries)

Advanced Metrics
Conclusions1. We are at very early stages in Open Access
publishing.
2. Academic publishers are rebuilding their business models: some embrace, some resist and some hide.
3. Different government approaches to OA in the UK (Gold OA) and US (Green OA) has created some confusion.
4. Institutional mandated embargo periods are not as strong as government mandates (E.g., WB Vs. NIH).
5. Internal effective communication is key to maximize compliance rate.
6. Open Repositories built on open software (D-Space, ePrints) increase dissemination significantly… but marketing and outreach is still important.
