Editor's Notes
- I speak on behalf of the NCM - not the individual countries The countries all have policies – if there’s time I shall come back to them.
- Interesting welfare model Generel interest in the Nordic region Agreements with IMF and OECD High ranking on international indexes (innovation) As an organization: NOT first movers on Open Access or Open Science! (Nordbib – FP7 (2007-2009)) Early 2012 I proposed the idea of OA to publications: YES New Secretary General
- Former Norwegian minister No knowledge of OA Fast interpretation into politics /institutional polics
- We are currently implementing the CC BY 3.0 IGO Increased access to the outputs of many different suppliers (one-stop-shop) professionalized distribution Close link between policy and eLibrary to show results in a branded way (coherent branding new branding strategy) Long term archiving and curation (in a very distributed organization) This is already working with a mandate and the eLibrary in place
- No mandate yet differnt formulations (project specific) Nordforsk is part of the ERA (MoU with the EC) with specifc focus on OA Part of the new Nordforsk strategy The Nordic countries are all in support of the Science Europe definition More tricky since universities or others often manage the projects (in charge of calls etc) We want a relation to the eLibrary for the same reasons as before
- We are currently testing the wordings in contracts The link between the policy and the eLibrary is very important both as a tool for project evaluation and as a tool for branding Sverker will talk about data but we already must have in mind how to deal with linked-data
- The funding sometimes only covers networking activities, a PhD candidate, equipment or other things that are not related to publications – what can we then demand? In size we are small compared to the EC or Wellcome and even to the national agencies in the Nordic region – therefore we don’t have the same enforcement power.
- I would make sense for NCM/Nordforsk to coordinate such actiivities BUT do the countries really want this? There is a need for communication towards the research community that would be good to coordinate as well It’s not an easy task to align – not even for the EC
- We are already reaching out
- We are heading in the right direction – however not fast enough (perhaps) if we don’t move it will have negative longterm effects We should think OA/OS into the policy level – this is happening now – so small progress is taking place Dialogue at international level is great very good to be invited to this meeting (last year at the UNESCO consultation on OA in Europe and NA)
