Scientific data“Our vision is a scientific e-infrastructure that supports seamless access, use, re-use and trust of data. In a sense … the data themselves become an infrastructure – a valuable asset on which science, technology, the economy and society can advance.” (Neelie Kroes)H2020 has a proposed DATA PILOT

Research Councils UK (RCUK)
Authors must use ‘RCUK-compliant’ journals:• Offer a Gold option, or• Where a journal does not offer Gold it must offer
the Green option with an embargo of <6 months• Or both Gold and Green (author can choose
either option)
Enabling Open Scholarship
Perverse consequencesSubscription journals lengthen their embargoes to >6 monthsSubscription journals offer a Gold option = hybrid journalsUK authors must pay for thisNo upper limit on APCsFunds will be given from RCUK to universities to administer...This is NOT a policy for others to follow!
