The document summarizes Austria's transition to open access. It notes that in 2012, Austria had only a few institutional repositories and was not a strong player in open access. It describes the voluntary Austrian National Action Plan on Open Access, with 57 member institutions working towards the goal of 100% gold open access by 2025. The action plan provides recommendations such as reorganizing publishing contracts, supporting international cooperation through funding, and introducing open access policies. The overall goal is to advance open access and open science through these coordinated efforts.
The document discusses the challenges and solutions around open access to research data in Europe. It summarizes that Horizon 2020 now mandates open access to publications and open access to research data by default from 2017. It describes how grantees are required to deposit data in repositories and take measures to grant open access, with the ability to opt-out for certain reasons. The approach has been tested in a Horizon 2020 pilot and will expand in 2017 to cover all areas with the same rules, aiming for research data to be as open as possible while allowing necessary closures.
The presentation we gave at two workshops on Open Access policies organised by EU-funded project PASTEUR4OA on 9 & 10 February 2016 in Brussels. Basically, nothing really new, but this is probably the shortest presentation we have made to present the European Commission mandate for open access in Horizon 2020.

The document discusses Austria's transition to open science. It notes that key organizations in Austria, including the Austrian Science Fund, support open access mandates and funding for open access publishing. Universities Austria, a voluntary initiative with 55 member institutions, aims to transition all publications to gold open access by 2025. The document provides recommendations to support this transition, such as reorganizing publishing contracts, supporting international cooperation on publishing models, and introducing open access policies. It emphasizes that openness is important for science and that stakeholders must work together to transition to more open systems.
The Swedish Research Council is working towards open science and access to research information.
It issued recommendations in 2015 for national open access guidelines and has since required open access publishing. It now aims to coordinate open access to research data and raise awareness of data management best practices. The long term goal is an open science system within ten years where research data is openly available while protecting privacy and legal obligations.
Open Access Policies in Europe, Dec 2014SPARC Europe
The document summarizes key aspects of the Open Access policies for Horizon 2020 (H2020), the EU's research and innovation program for 2014-2020, and their alignment with policies across European member states. H2020 has a mandatory 'green' Open Access policy requiring publications to be made available in open repositories. It allows funds for 'gold' open access journal publication and has an open data pilot. The policy aims to coordinate with and support the development of consistent national Open Access policies across EU member states to harmonize research conditions and mobility across Europe.
This document discusses an open access journal in economics called Economics. It summarizes the journal's key features and experiences over its first years of operation. The journal uses a two-stage publication process with open peer review and allows free access to all papers online. It aims to push barriers in scholarly communication by integrating new internet technologies and being more open than traditional journals. In its first years, Economics received many submissions and downloads and established indexing in major databases. Going forward, it seeks to be included in journal rankings and establish a sustainable business model without external funding.
European Research Funders and data sharing: an overview of current practicesDCC-info
This document provides an overview of data sharing policies and practices among European research funders. It finds that while many funders state a policy in support of open access to research data, fewer mandate sharing in repositories or monitor compliance. Common incentives for data sharing include guidance, tools and supported repositories, while rewards through additional funding or assessment are rare. Monitoring of data management plans and sharing is limited, occurring in only a few countries. The document discusses examples from the UK and other countries to identify best practices that could encourage data sharing while also building trust in repositories and services.
Igitur provides e-publishing services for Utrecht University, including maintaining the institutional repository and supporting scholars in e-publishing. It was launched in 2004 to address problems of limited access to scholarly information and delayed availability of research results. Igitur's primary goal is to increase access through the institutional repository (green OA) and by supporting e-publishing (golden OA), though it faces difficulties in financing open access publications and transitioning journals from subscription to open access models.
The document discusses the vision for the Agricultural Ontology Service (AOS) which aims to improve access to agricultural information through shared semantic standards and interoperability. It proposes a consortium of data providers and information consumers to provide common ontologies, metadata schemas, and vocabularies. This would facilitate integrated access to distributed datasets and services while supporting collaborative development and promotion of semantic standards in agriculture. The FAO cannot drive this alone and seeks partners to advance this vision through agreed procedures and legal framework.
The document discusses the vision for the Agricultural Ontology Service (AOS) which aims to improve access to agricultural information through shared semantic standards and interoperability. It outlines some of the current challenges with fragmented information sources and portals. The vision is for AOS to act as a consortium and clearinghouse to agree on common ontologies, metadata schemas, and procedures to link distributed data sources and provide semantic search capabilities. Partnerships with different organizations are envisioned to further develop and promote semantic standards to better share agricultural knowledge.
The document discusses the European Open Data Centre (EODC) and its goals and services. The EODC aims to develop shared earth observation resources and connect science with operations through collaboration. It provides various services including data access, software development support, and a science integration platform. The EODC infrastructure is based in Vienna and utilizes the local Scientific Cluster supercomputer for processing. It seeks cooperation from public, private, scientific and commercial partners to further its mission.
The document discusses the importance of natural resource classification systems in providing a consistent framework for energy and mineral studies, resource management, corporate business processes, and financial reporting. Such systems aim to establish common terminology, improve global communication, and support stability and security of supply through a shared understanding on an international basis. The estimates and outcomes derived from these classification systems should be based on the work of competent experts.
Wednesday 6 helena ljusberg luis-lund university innovation systemMichiel Stoffels
The document outlines Lund University in Sweden, describing its size, faculties, research areas, international outlook, and role in supporting innovation through the Professor's Privilege, which allows academics to own inventions from publicly funded research, and its innovation office LU Innovation System, which has helped launch over 40 startups, including examples like Thylabisco, which licensed a new appetite suppressant, A1M Pharma, which raised funds for preeclampsia research, and Probation Labs, which developed high resolution protein analysis technology.
The document discusses opportunities for academic libraries presented by new physical builds and shared services environments. It notes that deeper cooperation across institutions is needed to achieve significant cost savings while developing new services. Case studies from the University of Stirling describe new library builds that provide better collaboration spaces and integrate services like an enterprise zone and archives. The document advocates for shared procurement, licensing, collections, and staff development to help libraries meet financial challenges. It also discusses opportunities from open access repositories and the SCONUL shared library management system project.
The National Library of Sweden was directed to act as a national coordinating body to help transition scholarly publications to open access. It identified obstacles in a previous report and will initiate and coordinate studies from 2017-2019 on incentivizing open access, funding an open access publishing system, open access to monographs, supporting journal conversion to open access, and monitoring compliance with open access policies.

It then discusses the growth of open access policies and mandates in Europe, including requirements from major research funders that publications resulting from funded research be made openly accessible. It also describes coordination efforts across European countries to align open access policies and develop shared infrastructure and advocacy initiatives to further open access goals.
The European Commission aims to optimize the impact of publicly funded scientific research through a European open access policy. It encourages open access to peer-reviewed publications and research data from projects funded through its Framework Programmes. The Commission will implement an open access mandate in Horizon 2020 requiring open access to publications with allowed embargo periods. It will also pilot open access to research data and aims to coordinate national open access policies across EU member states.
The document discusses the European Commission's policies around open access to publicly funded research. It outlines that the Commission is implementing an open access mandate in Horizon 2020, its main research funding program, starting in 2014. This mandate will require publications and research data from funded projects to be made openly accessible. The Commission is also encouraging member states to develop their own open access policies through a new recommendation. Overall, the goal is to improve access to and sharing of scientific information through open access policies across Europe.
Leveraging the Network to Make Open Access HappenLIBER Europe
1) The document discusses the transition to open science and open access in scholarly communication. It notes that while libraries traditionally supported researchers through collecting and disseminating journals, the digital age now enables open sharing of information through repositories and open access models.
2) LIBER (the Association of European Research Libraries) supports enabling open science through advocacy, developing policies, training, and building infrastructure like repositories to support open access publishing and research data management.
3) There are various approaches to open access ("colors") including consortia licenses, repositories ("green OA"), fully open access journals ("gold OA"), hybrid journals ("silver OA"), and offsetting subscription funds towards open access publication fees. Libraries play an
Fit for Purpose! Shaping Open Access and Open Science Policies for Horizon Eu...Victoria Tsoukala
Victoria Tsoukala from the European Commission's DG RTD Open Science Unit presented on the European Commission's policies and plans for Open Access and Open Science under Horizon Europe. Key points include:
- Open Access to publications and research data will be mandatory under Horizon Europe with exceptions allowed for research data.
- The European Open Science Cloud will provide researchers access to storage, management, and analysis of research data.
- Responsible data management with Data Management Plans and FAIR data principles will be required.
- Open Science will be promoted through incentives and obligations beyond just open access, such as citizen science and evaluation of proposals.
- Other initiatives include the European Open Science Cloud to connect
This document summarizes the key points from a presentation on European perspectives on open science policy:
1. It outlines the 8 open science policy priorities established by the European Commission, including open access to publications and data, establishing the European Open Science Cloud, rewarding open science practices, research integrity, and citizen science.
2. It discusses the progress made on open access policies over the past 10 years from FP7 to Horizon 2020, including mandatory open access to publications and open access to research data by default from 2017 onward.
3. It introduces the concept of the proposed Horizon 2020 Open Research Europe publishing platform as a way to rapidly publish open access peer-reviewed articles and pre-prints resulting from Horizon 2020 projects
The European Commission promotes open access to publications and research data from publicly funded research. It has implemented open access policies in FP7 and will do so more comprehensively in Horizon 2020. The Commission also encourages member states to develop their own open access policies and coordinates these efforts. Both green and gold open access are supported, with allowed embargoes of 6-12 months. While open access to publications will be mandatory in Horizon 2020, open access to research data will initially be piloted on a voluntary basis.
This document discusses and compares green open access (self-archiving published works in repositories) and gold open access (publishing in open access journals that are freely available online). It provides definitions of these terms from various organizations. It also outlines recent open access policies from funding bodies and governments in the UK, Europe, US, and Australia that generally support both green and gold open access. Empirical evidence is presented that open access articles tend to receive more downloads and citations than articles hidden behind paywalls. Instructions are given for authors to self-archive works in La Trobe University's research repository to provide green open access.
