The document discusses two models for open access in Europe - the "reader pays" model from 2006 and the OpenAIRE+ model currently being implemented. It provides details on how the European Commission supports open access through its Framework Programme funding, including a pilot project requiring grant recipients to make publications openly accessible. It also summarizes the European Research Council's support for open access and recommendations from the European Commission. Finally, it describes the OpenAIRE+ project which aims to create an infrastructure linking peer-reviewed publications and datasets across Europe.

6. How does the European
Commission supports OA now
The pilot, which will run until the
end of FP7, covers approximately
20 % of the FP7 research budget.
Under the Open Access pilot, FP7 grant recipients in seven areas (energy, environment,
health, information and communication technologies [only cognitive systems, interaction,
and robotics], research infrastructures [only e-infrastructures], science in society, and
socioeconomic sciences and humanities) are expected to:
• deposit peer-reviewed research articles or final manuscripts
resulting from their FP7 projects into an online repository;
• make their best effort to ensure open access to these articles within
either 6 months (health, energy, environment, information and
communication technologies, research infrastructures) or 12 months
(science in society, socioeconomic sciences and humanities) after
publication.

In addition to the pilot, FP7 rules of participation also
allow all projects to have open access fees eligible for
reimbursement during the time of the grant agreement

7. 2012 results
In May 2011, the Commission
identified the 811 projects
designated at the time and sent a
questionnaire to all project
Asociația Bibliotecarilor din România, Accesul Deschis și Resursele Digitale, mai, 2013, București-Măgurele, IFIN-HH
7
• less than 50% did not know the possibility
• 8 projects out of 194 answers reported they
used it
• For 72% of respondents, reimbursement of
Gold OA is restricted by the fact that most
publishing activities occur after the project
end
• Almost 70% of respondents think it is better
to use self-archiving to satisfy the OA
requirement in FP7

8. Future consolidation is based on:
Conclusions
The dissemination of research results in FP7,
including self-archiving and costs related to open
access, is often an underestimated aspect. However,
it requires specific measures and sustained
investment. Despite its recognised benefits, the
implementation of open access remains a challenge.
Open access also raises technical questions and legal
issues, linked in particular to how researchers
exercise their copyright. Further difficulties are the
lack of awareness of researchers and of concrete
support for them to practice open access.

The ERC therefore
supports the
principle of open
access to the
published outputs
of research as a
fundamental part of
its mission.

A list of 630 journal articles reported in 88 mid-term
project reports formed the basis of this
analysis.
The results show that 62 % of journal articles
from ERC funded projects are available in open access.
The share of articles in open access varies across
research domains. It is close to 70 % in Life
Sciences, 65 % in Physical Sciences
and Engineering and nearer 50 % in Social
Sciences and Humanities

11. COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION of
17.7.2012 on access to and preservation of
scientific information
Policies on open access to scientific research
results should apply to all research that receives
public funds.
Asociația Bibliotecarilor din România, Accesul Deschis și Resursele Digitale, mai, 2013, București-Măgurele, IFIN-HH

Open access to scientific
research data enhances data
quality, reduces the need for
duplication of research, speeds
up scientific progress and helps
to combat scientific fraud.

12. One response: OpenAIRE+
Creating a robust, participatory
service for the cross-linking of
peer-reviewed scientific
publications and associated
datasets is the principal goal of
OpenAIREplus
Asociația Bibliotecarilor din România, Accesul Deschis și Resursele Digitale, mai, 2013, București-Măgurele, IFIN-HH
12

13. A quick glance
This large-scale project brings together 41 pan-
European partners, including three cross-
disciplinary research communities.
The project will capitalise on the successful
efforts of the OpenAIRE project which is rapidly
moving from implementing the EU Open Access
Pilot project into a service phase, enabling
researchers to deposit their FP7 and ERA funded
research publications into Open Access
repositories

15. Meaning?!
The project will establish an e-
Infrastructure to harvest, enrich and
store the metadata of Open Access
scientific datasets. Innovative
underlying technical structures will be
deployed to support the management
of and inter-linking between associated
scientific data.

16. How it is working?
Access to and deposit of linked publications via
the OpenAIRE portal are supported by a Help
Desk, and OpenAIRE's collaborative networking
structure will be extended to promote the
concept of open enhanced publications among
user communities.
Liaison offices in each of the project's 31
European countries work to support the needs of
researchers in Europe.
