Slide 8:
The objective of open-access self-archiving (and what will persuade
researchers to provide it):
- is not to quarrel with, ruin or replace journals, publishers or peer
review (at all) (Self-archiving is a supplement to, not a substitute
for journal publication; it is done for the sake of providing access
to all would-be research-users worldwide whose institutions cannot
afford the publisher's official version.)
- nor will researchers be persuaded to self-archive for the sake
of providing access to teachers - students - the general public
(and yet that will come with the territory...)
- nor will researchers be persuaded to self-archive for the sake
of providing access to the Developing World (and yet that will come
with the territory...)
- nor will researchers be persuaded to self-archive for the sake of
providing access to medical information for tax-payers (and yet that
will come with the territory...)
- nor will researchers be persuaded to self-archive for the sake
of making all knowledge/information free (and yet some of that will
come with the territory...)
- nor will researchers be persuaded to self-archive for the sake of
relieving the budgetary problems of libraries (and yet some relief
for access needs that exceed the budget will come with the territory...)
Slide 9:
The objective of open-access (and what will persuade researchers to self-archive,
and also persuade their institutions and funders to mandate it) is:
- to maximize research impact
- by maximizing research access
