Many reasons are given for self-archiving, and self-archivers follow many different practices. We asked four researchers from different disciplines how and why they self-archive their research results. We also asked the researchers about their views on the promotion of self-archiving. This is the seventh part of the Think Open blog’s article series on self-archiving.

”Science should be transparent and accessible to everyone. Today, I firmly believe that science goes hand in hand with openness. When I started my PhD couple of years ago, I did not even know what open science meant. Since then, I have taken baby steps towards a more sustainable science culture.” In this blog post, University of Helsinki doctoral student Julia Kemppinen writes on a practical level how she learned to understand the importance of open science and how she implements open science practices in her research.

Avoimiin julkaisuarkistoihin keskittyvä Open Repositories -konferenssi järjestettiin kesäkuussa Hampurissa. Tämän vuoden teemana oli käyttäjän tarpeet. Neljän päivän aikana syvennyttiin myös muun muassa avoimeen tieteeseen, julkaisuarkistojen kehittämiseen, metadataan ja laki- ja lisensointiasioihin. Tietojärjestelmäasiantuntija Reeta Kuuskoski ja tietoasiantuntija Tanja Vienonen Kansalliskirjastosta käyvät läpi konferenssin antia ja taustoittavat myös suomalaisten julkaisuarkistojen roolia.
The most important repository of mathematical and physical sciences already contains 1.6 million e-prints. arXiv provides a platform for sharing e-prints openly for peer review. Over the years arXiv has grown into a giant, encouraging the birth of similar repositories in other scientific fields. This has been a challenge for arXiv maintenance, both in the technical and administrative sense. In this article, bibliometrics expert Eva Isaksson describes arXiv history, development and challenges.

Roughly 80 % of publishers allow self-archiving of some version of the article in open repositories and the most common version allowed is the accepted manuscript (post-print). For this reason, it is most important to keep a copy of the final manuscript which includes the modifications from peer review. The second part of the Think Open blog’s self-archiving series deals with the article versions.
