NRF OA Access Mandate: 2015 1) Open access to publications 2) research data supporting publications Further information check at http://ir.nrf.ac.za/handle/10907/103
NRF OA Statement Requirements: Research Outputs Dissemination Open Access (journals, conference proceedings & books/book chapters) Publisher PDFs/ HTMLversion free online (Internet) Authors accepted Manuscripts, if published version is restricted Pre-prints/Post-prints deposited in an OA institutional repository Publicly funded data Dataset free online (open format, easily readable by computers) if embargoed metadata should be published and made available in an OA repository
Global Research Council Principles for transitioning towards open access Return on investments: Research councils encourage open access to all results from publicly funded research which originated from their funding. Responsibility of Research councils: to raise their grantees awareness and to educate (especially young) researchers regarding the importance, the benefits, and the various approaches towards open access. Research funders: Provide support for their grantees, encourage and enable them in making their works openly accessible with suitable means, e.g. through open access policies, through addressing copyright, or through dedicated open access funding, enabling technology and infrastructure.
South Africa s Global Knowledge Contribution
Funded Publications Dissemination All NRF Funded grantees (students and researchers) are required to disseminate their research outputs either through Green or Gold Open Access Author's accepted manuscript of a journal article or published conference paper needs to be deposited into a repository with 12months of publishing OA Journal articles i.e. published through ASSAf s SciELO; This also includes book chapters, and books etc.
Research Output Archiving & Dissemination - DOIs OA Publishers, OA Journals, OJS systems, i.e. SciELO Journal articles, Conference proceedings, Books/book chapters (OA e- publications) PDFs Applicable formats e-datasets supporting publications & funded datasets NRF s SADA repository PDFs PDFs Institutional repository Final peerreviewed e- manuscripts submitted to non- OA journals Electronic Theses & Dissertations
Reporting: Annual Progress Report Publications metadata should include DOIs (Gold Open Access articles or Green OA articles - handles when archived in a repository. Theses and Dissertations metadata should include handles when archived in a repository Datasets metadata should include DOIs or handles
Streamlining the Publication and Research Data Lifecycle Manuscript preparation Data Management Plan (DMP) Dataset is Curated/Preserved Manuscript submission Dataset record created Dataset is catalogued/indexed (metadata) Final Acceptance Inactive DOI issued (i.e. NRF) Dataset is disseminated Proofs submitted DOI activated & metadata published on a repository Dataset is made publicly available Publication E-copy/Paper Dataset is validated Dataset is cited/re-used
Digital Object Identifiers Data Publication and Citation NRF is a national DOI registry for datasets publishing NRF grantees will be encouraged to register their datasets in order to get DOIs Datasets can be curated/archived in the hosting institutional repository/ open access registered repository or NRF s SADA repository Datasets that are curated according to international standards and licensed through a DataCite usually get cited and get re-used by other researchers, or in collaboration with the owner, CC license is important
Data Management Plan (DMP) Most research funders and journal publishers require data data management plans (DMP) for data sharing and re-use purposes NRF will issue a DMP template in order to help researchers to create data management plans fitting its requirements and international data publishing guidelines The DMP should describe how the project will conform to the NRF s OA Mandate on dissemination and sharing of publicly funded research results

Alternative Metrics & Citations: Open Access There is an interesting relationship between altmetrics and open access. One could even refer to altmetrics as open metrics. This is firstly due to the fact that altmetrics data uses open sources.
