2 Outline Introduction and background Purpose of the study Review of similar studies Methodology Results and discussions Conclusions and recommendations

3 Definition of Open Access (OA) A new mode of scholarly communication through which the author(s) and right holder(s) of such contribution grant(s) to all users a free, irrevocable, worldwide right of access to, and a license to copy, use, distribute, transmit, and display the work publicly and to make and distribute derivative works, in any digital medium for any responsible purpose, subject to proper attribution of authorship Berlin Declaration of Open Access, 2003.

4 Introduction and back ground information Since the inception of the OA movement in the 1990s much has been written and studies have been conducted on various aspects of OA e.g. Viability of various OA models Technologies involved in making OA possible Management of OA repositories

5 Introduction and back ground information Perceptions of stakeholders in scholarly publishing e.g. publishers, authors, librarians, researchers, lawyers, funding agencies, university administrators, national governments etc OA is a widely debated issue in the scientific community, library world, and publishing industry and as the movement continues to evolve, there has been a surge in publications on this emerging phenomenon (Zao and Gang, 2007)

6 Purpose of the study Preliminary findings of a study that is being carried out to examine research output, trends and growth of knowledge in the field of OA between 2003 and 2013 inclusive as indexed and reflected in three databases Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA); Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts (LISTA) Library and Information Science Sources (LISS).

7 Purpose of the study Specifically the study sought to investigate Growth of OA literature from 2003 to 2013 Journals that publish OA research Profiles of authors researching on OA The most published subject areas in OA

8 Significance of the study The study will bring awareness on the available body of literature on OA Awareness of the journals where most research in OA is produced

9 Review of similar studies Bailey, 2005 The OA Bibliography over 1,300 selected books, conference papers, debates, editorials, e-prints, journal and magazine articles, news articles, technical reports etc published between 1999 and 2004 Zao and Gang, 2007 A content analysis of 227 articles on OA which appeared in peer reviewed LIS journals from 2000 to 2005

10 Review of similar studies Full-length articles touching on OA publishing and selfarchiving were analysed Findings indicated that majority of the articles were viewpoint articles as opposed to descriptive or empirical studies Majority of the authors were LIS professionals based in the U.S Collins, 2011 Literature review of journal articles published in 2008 and 2009 Extensive coverage of OA in 2008/2009 was due to the economic recession of 2007 where OA was seen as a more cost effective alternative to the crisis in scholarly communication.

11 Methodology Bibliometric study in which LISS, LISTA and LISA databases were used as source of data for published research articles Data collection was divided into three phases. Advanced search using open access as keyword and limiting the search to subject terms, peer reviewed and English language publications Advanced search using open access related keywords such as Institutional Repository, Self archiving, etc Data was cleaned up, duplicates and irrelevant records removed Data was analysed using Bibexcel and Excel as per objectives

12 Results and Discussions Articles published in journals indexed in LISS and LISTA databases and available through EBSCOhost was 1,148. Articles published in journals indexed in LISA database available through Proquest was 254. Total Number of articles 1,402 Out of the 1,404 articles 1,192 were research articles and 210 were short communication (Table 1) Short communication articles were excluded from further analysis

13 Table 1: Publication Type Publication Type EbscoHost ProQuest Total Journal Articles Editorials Reports News Letters to the editors 2-2 Book reviews Review of Internet sources e.g. databases, directories, web-portals AO policy, Mandates and declarations Interviews and discussions 3-3 New OA journal announcements and launching 8-8 Workshop and conferences notices and reports Speeches 4-4 Other forms of communication TOTAL 1, ,402

14 Results and Discussions Publication growth in the first 5 years was almost 10 times Two initiatives considered to be drivers for the open access movement may have contributed to rapid growth of literate in the early years Budapest Open Access Initiative Berlin Declaration of Open Access

15 Source of the Publications 1,192 retrieved journal articles were published in 380 peer-reviewed journals 57 journals produced a total of 916 (77%) Table 1 The remaining 323 journals had 5 or less articles each with a third of these journals having published only 1 article on the subject

17 Profiles of authors researching on OA Most prolific authors came from institutions based in the USA. Table 3 This was followed by UK 3, India 3, Finland 1, Canada 1 and Tanzania 1. The representation of authors from African countries was generally low There was very limited collaborations in the domain as most of the papers were single authored. Only 35% articles had multiple authors the rest were single authored articles.
