Key OA initiatives are briefly described along the main aspects of the strategies as they contribute to implementation of the OA strategies.Findings: NSL defined its role as the Chief OA Officer for CAS and a key OA promoter for China. Accordingly,NSL has engaged in multiple fronts of promoting OA,including development of OA strategies for CAS,establishment of itself as an OA knowledge &promotion center,development of the CAS IR system,and support for OA publishing by CAS authors.Research limitations: OA is still evolving,so are the strategies and practices as many actions are experimental and explorative in nature. Open books,open data,and open educational resources are yet to be covered. Comparative studies are needed,so is the evidence-based impact analysis.Practical implications: Institutions can adopt,adapt,or compare with examples and lessons learned are described here.Originality/value: The multi-faceted frameworks,working principles,and lessons learned are based on NSL's practices which can be valuable to the overall OA development.展开更多

A challenge metric for the overall context and additional frameworks or alternative lists is used for the detailed analysis.Findings: Research libraries are facing a reality conflict between the traditional library solution and the OA solution. New resource strategies are needed but have to be based on an open knowledge infrastructure and a systematic analysis of factors and alternatives. Support for OA publishing is becoming a major task and complicated capabilities involved call for libraries to play a central role. Hybrid collection development should be in place to take full advantages of the open world while ensuring reliable and trusted retrieval, reuse, and preservation.Research limitations: The research covers main developments in US and European countries mostly in scientific fields and for scholarly papers.Practical implications: There are already evidences for sound OA resource policies. With the imminent dominance of OA resources, research libraries should and can set up their OA resource strategies.Originality/value: The paper suggests a factor metric as an analysis framework, presents rationale lists and policies to support OA publishing, and proposes a hybrid collection strategy to plan for collection development, retrieval, and preservation.展开更多
