Iride
[edit]Description of the Publication
[edit]Iride is the journal of the Department of Business, Health and Social Economics (DEASS) at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI). It represents the multidisciplinary nature of the department and offers reflections from its three areas of expertise - economics, health and social work - as well as from the areas in which it is active (research, basic and continuing education). The journal has been published biannually since September 2016.
Implementation of Open Access
[edit]Starting point
[edit]The collaboration with Iride got off to a good start since all issues of the journal were already immediately available online for free on the webpage and e-periodica. The editorial team needed only some technical support in implementing open access. The case study was conducted within a collaboration between the projects GOAL and Open Science for arts, design and music.
Challenges and recommendations
[edit]- Open Access requirements: the editorial team needed support in implementing Open Access: how to proceed, what was needed, how to write an open access policy.
- we provided assistance listing the key requirements for a journal: the selection of a CC open licence, the inclusion of a DOI and 'how to cite' recommendation per each article, the agreement of an Open access policy and its publication online
- we provided models and examples
Implementation
[edit]- Diamond Open Access: with the selection of open licence CC BY-SA 4.0 and a no-embargo policy, Iride is a Diamond Open Access publication
- Open Access policy, expected publication online in November 2024
Lessons Learned
[edit]The magazine was already available online free of charge and without embargo. It was therefore only a matter of assisting the editorial team in choosing a free licence and drafting an Open Access policy. As a case study, Iride demonstrates both a willingness to share and a need of support with the implementation of open access requirements that have been easily be solved with a little assistance.
