 High APC unit prices– About 0.18 million yen on average (full-OA journals), 0.50-0.60 million
yen at the highest
4Internal Support: Financial Aid for Open-access Article
Processing Charges for Articles Written in English (I) Outline
To further increase our capacity to internationally disseminating our researchachievements and hence strengthen the research potential of Osaka University, the article
processing charge (APC) will be granted for any teaching worker at Osaka University
whose article written in English as the lead author or responsible author has been acceptedfor publication in an open access journal of high impact factor outside Japan.

 Chronology
It will be helpful for me to receive financial support forcontribution to open access journals. We are making strong
efforts to obtain research funds for contribution to OA journals,
which impose high article processing charges, and researcherswith curtailed school funds are often reluctant to contribute theirachievements to OA journals for economic reasons. I believe this
support will increase the number of disseminations of researchachievements meeting certain quality requirements. (AssistantProfessor at the Graduate School of Science)

Nature Communications imposes a high article
processing charge (of 0.66 million JPY）, so I hopethat financial aid will be available for publication in
the journal. In this case, I was happy to receive thefinancial aid for the article processing charge frommy former affiliation; if not, however, I would havebeen highly troubled.（Professor at the Graduate
School of Frontier Biosciences）– While an increasing number of researchers want to contribute their articles to OA journals to obtain manyreaders, their research budgets are often insufficient to pay the large APC.
– Responding to this demand, we began providing financial aids for open access article processing charges inJune 2019.
5Internal Support: Open Access Publishing Support (II) Major selection criteria
The journal for publication of the article should be an
open-access journal listed in Scopus (and bearing theOpen Access mark on the detail page for the journal）* Scopus uses the DOAJ (Directory of Open AccessJournals) and other criteria to certify immediate fullOA journals (what are called gold OA journals), only.

 Implementation status
Number ofapplications filedRejected

Accepted863254* Monetary grant of about 15.0 million yen (which means 0.28 millionyen/contribution on average)* Most rejections were because the destination of contribution was a hybrid
6journal.

Internal Support: Open Access Publishing Support (III)Issues
The University’s Standpoint• It is necessary to cope with theissue of double payment ofsubscription fees and OA article
processing charges posed byhybrid journal business models.
• Obligation to contribute to soundand fair academic publication as anational university

VSThe Researcher’s Standpoint• Hope that articles will be read by
as many readers as possible,irrespective of the type of OA(gold or hybrid), thus contributing
to the academic world.
• In the case of OA in a hybrid
journal, the cost is often covered
substantially by public researchfunds, irrespective of theavailability of financial aid by theuniversity.

Osaka University Knowledge Archives
Osaka University’s institutional repository– Brought into publication as a platform for disseminating research and educational
achievements at Osaka University in February 2007(https://ir.library.osaka-u.ac.jp/)– According to the TRANSPARENT RANKING: Institutional Repositories by
Google Scholar, we are ranked 24th in the world (ranked 2nd in Japan)
Source: TRANSPARENT RANKING: Institutional Repositories by Google Scholar (July 2019).
http://repositories.webometrics.info/en/institutional

Support for self-archives– Support for electronic publication of transactions and related academic journals– Publication of doctoral dissertations (Osaka University Academic Degree Rules as
Amended in 2013)– Publication of academic journal articles etc.
– Surveys on copyright policies of publishers etc.
– Assignment of digital object identifiers (DOI)

10Present Status of OUKA (II)New use– Used as a destination for publication of article evidence dataIssues
Teachers’ voices“I’ve not been aware of the existence of the institutional repository.”“I have been of the belief that the institutional repository is intended to publish transactions
and doctoral dissertations.”“I don’t keep the author-finalized manuscript.”“Is it meaningful to publish the author-finalized manuscript?”– Lacking awareness of OUKA and Green OA– Low “coverage” of articles accepted by academic journals– Difficulty with receiving the author-finalized manuscript11

How to Register Your Research
Achievements with OUKAI.

Monetary grant to SCOAP3
Participation in the arXiv.org member consortiumParticipation in CLOCKSS13

New Trend (I)To draw up the “Osaka University Open Access Policy (Draft)”– The objective is to promote comprehensive open access to researchachievements made in Osaka University– More than 30 institutions in Japan have formulated similar policies.
• https://jpcoar.repo.nii.ac.jp/?page_id=53

New Trend (II)Support for research data management– Storage of research data (from the viewpoint of research fairness)• Guidelines for the Storage of Research Data at Osaka University (enforced onAugust 6, 2015)– To promote “open science” at Osaka University• Holding staff member training meetings
Basic Knowledge on Open Science: University and Research Data (February 19,2019)
Practice of Research Data Management: Case of GakuNin RDM (January 14, 2020)• To take part in the GakuNin RDM demonstrative experimentation

ConclusionOA Support in the FutureRaising awareness– Disseminating up-to-date knowledge and information on OA andacademic publishing to researchers through seminars and FD.

Sound development of OA– Contribute to the realization of the Plan S OA Vision by 2021 bystrengthening the university’s role in making proposals foracademic publishers and other stakeholders and taking otheractions.

Support for shift to open access– Planning to improve the APC granting program– Promotion of the use of the institutional repository
