Progress
towards open access to research outputs has been significant in respect of both
repository development and the availability of open access journals.
Opportunities exist for authors to make their work available in outlets which
will yield higher citations and provide increased value from publicly or
charity-funded research. A number of academic organisations representing funding
agencies and universities have made policy statements supporting developments in
scholarly communication and JISC has supported these developments as part of its
strategic commitment to improve the effectiveness of scholarly
communication.
While much is being achieved, the momentum of change can be maintained through a greater understanding of the priorities of different stakeholders.
