<blockquote><p>As both criticisms of academic journal publication practices and recent empirical results suggest, transparency that Open Access (OA) tends to promote is likely to be associated with journal quality, since latest journal citation reports have shown that a significant share of highest-ranking scientific journals in medicine are published in OA.</p>
</blockquote>
<hr/><p><span>Excerpt</span></p>
<blockquote><p>In his extensive <a href="https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-00026-8_3">critique of the journal publication industry</a> made available online in 2013, Mathias Binswager argues against the homogenization of higher education and scientific research that has been taking place in recent decades around the world, such as in Germany and Europe more generally, as quantitative measures of university excellence have become widely regarded as primary indicators on which institutional and governmental decision making has become based. This particularly applies to the journal publication procedures, since scholars and researchers receive appointments, funds and promotions primarily based on their publishing in high-ranking scientific journals, while a regular output of academic output has become widely expected in the academia.</p>

<p>At Malmö University, we didn't start planning until a week ago. We have a mandatory open access-policy in place since March this year, approved by the vice-chancellor and hence thinking that the awareness about benefits and requirements are now more or less in place. We have also made faculty tours during the spring, as well as giving each and every staff member a practical step-by-step folder earlier this year.</p>

We have also made faculty tours during the spring, as well as giving each and every staff member a practical step-by-step folder earlier this year.</p>
<p>During the upcoming week we will open up a physical helpdesk where everyone can drop in with their publication or just talk open access. We are also opening up an open access-chat for those who want to communicate directly with us from their own desk. </p>
<p>Another activity has been handing out "Ask me about open access"-doorhangers to some seleted researchers, in order to open up for possibilities for internal discussions at the institutions during next week.</p>

<p>The Gothenburg University Library will arrange the Open Access Week 2011.</p>
<p>The centre of this week will be a discussion panel with the motto “free access, funding, and future” (fri tillgång, finansiering och framtid) where different stakeholders (researchers, representatives of funding agencies, and representatives of the university) will talk about Open Access:</p>
<ul>
<li>Which advantages has OA publishing for researchers?</li>
<li>Which funding models exist and are they sufficient?</li>
<li>How will the publishing models look like in five years? Will all researchers publish OA? Will peer review disappear?</li>
<li>OA at University of Gothenburg: advantages and disadvantages</li>
</ul>
<p>We will also arrange some other seminars during this week, for example an activity in cooperation with the research and innovations department of the university, in-house training together with Jan Hagerlid (National Library of Sweden), and a talk about bibliometrics with Bo Jarneving, (bibliometric services).</p>
<p>The events will take place at different locations in order to reach as many people as possible. We will also market the activities via newsletter and mailing lists, send out material to all section libraries and brief all librarians on the week.</p>
<p>It would be nice to read about other activities!</p>
