Open Access at the University of Otago: what do we know?
2019
White, Richard
Three out of five research outputs by Otago authors in 2017 are behind paywalls as of June 2019. Of the 868 articles that are behind a paywall, 84% of these could be deposited legally in a non-commercial repository to make them free-to-access. This is despite a citation advantage of 93% for research that is openly accessible. Where open access was achieved by a paid method (Article Processing Charges) this was estimated to have cost NZ$735,000 for 2017.
This infographic is the Otago-specific version of a national research project to take a snapshot of the proportion of research by New Zealand authors that is open access. This project was the of the Concul of New Zealand University Librarians (CONZUL).
