The Open Advantage for 
Early Career Researchers 
by Dr Ross Mounce 
@rmounce 
http://orcid.org/0000-0002-3520-2046 
www.okfn.org
A bit about myself, for context... 
I’m an evolutionary biologist into fossils & phylogenetics 
* Vocal advocate for open scholarship (not just access!) 
* Awarded Panton Fellowship 2012-13 
* Submitted PhD @UniOfBath Oct 2013 
* Now BBSRC-funded Postdoc at Bath, text & data mining 
* On Organising Committee of: 
http://www.opencon2014.org/ 
(2013) (Washington, D.C., November 2014)
Why do I care about Open Access? 
The abundance of paywalls seriously obstructs my 
ability to do rigorous research. 
I believe charitably and publicly-funded research should 
be available to all, to read and re-use, at no extra cost. 
(~80% of academic research is public-funded) 
I want my research to be read and re-used by others, 
rather than locked-away behind a paywall.
Why do I care about Open Data? 
In my fields (palaeo, phylogenetics) data sharing is 
improving but still poor: ~4-16% of papers publicly 
share usable data. 
I believe charitably and publicly-funded research 
outputs including data & software should be 
available to all, to read and re-use, at no extra cost. 
(~80% of academic research is public-funded) 
I want my research data & scripts to be re-used & cited 
by others, rather than languishing on my hard drives.
Avoid the shame 
of having your work paywalled! 
$113 !!! 
5 page article 
Source: http://dx.doi.org/10.1166/jbmb.2012.1234 (still available at that price, UoBath has no access)
OA hugely benefits text & data mining 
I’ve had my access to at least one publisher (BioOne) cut-off 
before. My 'crime' – downloading more than 25 PDFs in 5 
minutes. 
The paywall system and its 
rate limitations create artificial 
obstacles for researchers. 
In contrast, OA publishers have no 
problem with you downloading ALL 
their content. Many even actively 
facilitate this. I have all of PLoS 
on a USB stick.
Practical steps: 
Avoid monopolistic publishers 
When articles are published the publisher often takes the copyright of 
the work. After this, no-one else can publish copies of it, not even the 
author(s)! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_transfer_agreement 
N.B. Don’t sign away your copyright! Journals do not need to take away your ©
Aim for newer, better journals 
It’s a myth that gold OA is ‘expensive’ 
‘gold’ open access simply means journal-mediated OA 
Most OA journals do not charge (APC’s) to publish with them*

Open scholarship [a FOSTER open science talk]

  • 1. The Open Advantage for Early Career Researchers by Dr Ross Mounce @rmounce http://orcid.org/0000-0002-3520-2046 www.okfn.org
  • 2. A bit about myself, for context... I’m an evolutionary biologist into fossils & phylogenetics * Vocal advocate for open scholarship (not just access!) * Awarded Panton Fellowship 2012-13 * Submitted PhD @UniOfBath Oct 2013 * Now BBSRC-funded Postdoc at Bath, text & data mining * On Organising Committee of: http://www.opencon2014.org/ (2013) (Washington, D.C., November 2014)
  • 3. Why do I care about Open Access? The abundance of paywalls seriously obstructs my ability to do rigorous research. I believe charitably and publicly-funded research should be available to all, to read and re-use, at no extra cost. (~80% of academic research is public-funded) I want my research to be read and re-used by others, rather than locked-away behind a paywall.
  • 4. Why do I care about Open Data? In my fields (palaeo, phylogenetics) data sharing is improving but still poor: ~4-16% of papers publicly share usable data. I believe charitably and publicly-funded research outputs including data & software should be available to all, to read and re-use, at no extra cost. (~80% of academic research is public-funded) I want my research data & scripts to be re-used & cited by others, rather than languishing on my hard drives.
  • 5. Avoid the shame of having your work paywalled! $113 !!! 5 page article Source: http://dx.doi.org/10.1166/jbmb.2012.1234 (still available at that price, UoBath has no access)
  • 6. OA hugely benefits text & data mining I’ve had my access to at least one publisher (BioOne) cut-off before. My 'crime' – downloading more than 25 PDFs in 5 minutes. The paywall system and its rate limitations create artificial obstacles for researchers. In contrast, OA publishers have no problem with you downloading ALL their content. Many even actively facilitate this. I have all of PLoS on a USB stick.
  • 7. Practical steps: Avoid monopolistic publishers When articles are published the publisher often takes the copyright of the work. After this, no-one else can publish copies of it, not even the author(s)! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_transfer_agreement N.B. Don’t sign away your copyright! Journals do not need to take away your ©
  • 8. Aim for newer, better journals It’s a myth that gold OA is ‘expensive’ ‘gold’ open access simply means journal-mediated OA Most OA journals do not charge (APC’s) to publish with them* Cost-Free (for Authors) Have Fee Waivers Low cost, High quality AMNH Bulletin Journal of Economic Perspectives Royal Society Open Science IZA Journals *Source: Solomon, D. J. and Björk, B.-C. 2012. A study of open access journals using article processing charges. J Am Soc Inf Sci Tec 63:1485-1495. http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/asi.22673
