“…"Roach motel" repositories, in which materials fixed in their final form are the only acceptable content, hold no value for many faculty, which inevitably means such repositories have no access to most faculty-created content. "There is much more experimentation, however, with regard to means of inprogress communication, where single means of publication and communication are not fixed so deeply in values and tradition as they are for final, archival publication" (Harley et al 2007). Although much of that content may well be ephemeral, not worth saving, or poorly-suited to preservation, ignoring it altogether ignores the socialengineering advantages to inserting the institutional repository (broadly conceived) into the wider web of faculty content-creation practices.…”

Trapped by faculty apathy and library uncertainty, institutional repositories face a crossroads: adapt or die. The "build it and they will come" proposition has been decisively proven wrong. Citation advantages and preservation have not attracted faculty participants, though current-generation software and services offer faculty little else. Academic librarianship has not supported repositories or their managers. Most libraries consistently under-resource and understaff repositories, further worsening the participation gap. Software and services are wildly out of touch with faculty needs and the realities of repository management. These problems are not insoluble, but they demand serious reconsideration of repository missions, goals, and means.

“…Recent studies [1][2][3] all show that many scholars are nervous about shaking up traditional journal models, because they equate this with harming peer review, which they still view as of central importance. According to Harley et al, 1 faculty often assume that open access journals have no peer review. As a result, they are reluctant to submit to open access journals, and may consider their colleagues' papers in such journals to have less value.…”

In recent years academic journal publishers have explored a variety of new business models. The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress), founded by professors in 1999, now publishes 39 electronic‐only journals. bepress's own model rests on three principles: improve, but do not break, the traditional journal; allow non‐subscribers to read articles as guests; and offer reasonable and sustainable prices to libraries. This model has resulted in steady growth. Even in the shifting landscape of open access, there remains a place for professional journal publishers who offer innovative improvements, traditionally qualified content, and reasonable prices.

Imagining the ‘open’ university: Sharing science to improve research and education

Open scholarship, such as the sharing of articles, code, data, and educational resources, has the potential to improve university research and education, as well as increase the impact universities can have beyond their own walls. To support this perspective, I present evidence from case studies, published literature, and personal experiences as a practicing open scholar. I describe some of the challenges inherent to practicing open scholarship, and some of the tensions created by incompatibilities between institutional policies and personal practice. To address this, I propose several concrete actions universities could take to support open scholarship, and outline ways in which such initiatives could benefit the public as well as institutions. Importantly, I do not think most of these actions would require new funding, but rather a redistribution of existing funds and a rewriting of internal policies to be er align with university missions of knowledge dissemination and societal impact.
