20. Why do Institutions & funders define OA and OD policies?

21. Why do funders define OA and OD policies?
Better science! Improved monitoring
and transparency of the
results of funding.
Higher visibility and
impact from their funding
in research and society in
general.
Maximized return on
investment.

22. What elements make successful Open Access, Open
Data, Open Science policies and How to design them?

24. Monitoring policy compliance isimportant because it enablespolicy makers to:
i. assess which authors areadhering tothe policy;
ii. decide whether additional advocacy practices andcommunication activities
arerequired toraise awareness about the policy andincrease compliance
rates;
iii. observe whether anyadditional infrastructure ortoolsneed tobeused to
collect evidence oncompliance;
iv. determine whether anysanctions need tobe implemented toenforce a
systematic compliance with the policy;
v. and start the process ofassessing thebenefits that OAisbringing tothe
institution aslevels ofOAoutputs grow.
