Presented at the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy Annual Meeting 2014 at the Gaylord Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine Texas, by Spencer Keralis, Kris Helge, and Laura Waugh.
Abstract: The Open Access movement is transforming scholarly communication. Federal mandates for sharing the products of federally funded research drive scholars to rethink traditional scholarship models. The OA movement has been bedeviled by questions and misconceptions about intellectual property and copyright, peer review and quality control, predatory publications and other issues. This panel will address these concerns and help equip the AACP community with the resources to understand how Open Access can serve their scholarly endeavors.

5. A set of principles about author rights and public
access that guide scholarly communications
strategies.
6. Scholars should be able to retain the rights to their work
Access to scholarship – especially publicly funded
scholarship – should be free
Public access to scholarship is good for society
Public access to scholarship is good for scholars
Transparency in research helps maintain the public trust
Transparency in research helps ensure good
science/scholarship
8. Scholars
Retain the rights to your work
Ensure the widest possible
dissemination of your work
Teach with the best possible
research in your field
Maintain the public trust in
higher education
Students
Learn with the best possible
research in their fields
Affordable or free access to
scholarly publications
Model behavior as scholars and
educators
9. Open Access informs distribution model for journals
Evaluating publications
The double-dip
Subscriptions + APCs – your rights = Profit$
Green vs. Gold OA
Predatory OA
10. NIH and NSF led with mandates for open data and published
results in 2003 and 2010 respectively
Feb 2013 OSTP Memo expanded mandate to most federal
funding agencies
Agency guidance should arrive Fall 2014 – Spring 2015
13. What is an institutional repository?
Institution/University-hosted
Digital Infrastructure
Research and Scholarly Output
14. What do institutional repositories do?
Store, manage, and provide access
You know where all of your files are
You can permanently link to them
Your research extends to the world
15. Types and Examples:
Subject-based/Disciplinary Repositories
National Repositories
Institutional Repositories
18. How does one develop an institutional
repository?
Interest in Open Access grows
Early Stages:
UNT Open Access Policy
Institutional Repository
23. Versions of Work:
Pre-Prints: submitted, not peer-reviewed

On the Solubility of Quercetin

Abstract:
There is a considerable disagreement over the solubility of quercetin in water.
Experimental values of log Cw with Cw in mol/L range from − 2.52 to − 5.89, a
difference of over three log units. We have applied a methodology based on linear
free energy equations for water-solvent and gas-solvent partitions to study
solubilities. These are related to partition coefficients through Ps = Cs/Cw where Cs
and Cw are solubilities of a given solute in a solvent and in water. We find that
known solubilities of quercetin in methanol and ethanol at 298 K and a known
water-solvent partition coefficient can be accommodated in the same model if the
water solubility at 298 K, as log Cw, is taken as − 3.90, that is near to the middle of
the range of experimental values. Our model successfully predicts solubilities of
quercetin in water–ethanol mixtures near to the ethanol rich mixtures.

28. Green Open Access:
Self-archiving in a repository
Certain versions of work
No fees to authors or funding agency
29. Gold Open Access:
Publishing in journals for a fee
Fee = Article Processing Charges
Paid by author or funding agency
30. Open Access Journal Definition:
Funding model that does not charge
readers or their institutions for access
Read, download, distribute, print, link-to, put
online, etc.

32. Most Common Questions:
Why should I bother?
Increased citations
Wider access to research
Benefits society and research innovation
33. Most Common Questions:
What do IRs have to offer?
Long-term preservation of your work
Permanent URLs
Item-level statistics
41. Allows creators to:
Maintain their choice of rights
Have freedom of use in their scholarship
Freely distribute
Have a lever for negotiating with publishers
Also give publishers equal benefits

The University of North Texas first established an institutional commitment toward open access of research and scholarship. During the process of formulating and approving the UNT Open Access Policy, the UNT Scholarly Works institutional repository was launched in order to house the peer-reviewed journal articles covered under policy.
