Open Access in Europe
On the Road to 2020
Optimize impact of publicly-funded research
Faster growth: Better exploitation of research results for and by innovative industry in the ERA – products come faster to the market;
Greater efficiency: foster collaboration and avoid duplication of effort;
More transparency: Involve citizens and society in the scientific process
Why Open Access?
Strong political support
“Scientific information has the power to transform our lives for the better – it is too valuable to be locked away.”
“The question is no longer ‘if’ we should have open access. The question is about ‘how’ we should develop it further and promote it.”
“Access to scientific results for free, for all, for ever is a compelling vision indeed.”
Digital Agenda & Open Access
“[…] publicly funded research should be widely disseminated through Open Access publication of scientific data and papers”
A Digital Agenda for Europe (COM(2010)245, 19.05.2010),http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:52010DC0245(01):EN:NOT
“[…] the Commission will appropriately extend current Open Access publication requirements […]”
“[...] the Commission will propose aEuropean Research Area framework and […] open access to publications and data from publicly funded research”.
Innovation Union (COM(2010)546, 06.10.2010),http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:52010DC0546:EN:NOT
“The Commission [...] will aim to make open access to publications the general principle for projects funded by the EU research Framework Programmes […]”
Innovation Union & Open Access
What is open access (OA)to publications?
Online access at no charge to the user
(more detail: BOAI (2001) and BOAI10 (2012))
OA comes after a decision to publish =>
no mandatory publishing
How to make a publication OA?
Gold OA: Publication in an OA journal, payment by the author, immediately accessible
Issues: Hybrid journals (mixing OA/non-OA content), amount of author charges, licenses & use/re-use rights
Green OA: Deposit of peer-reviewed manuscripts in an OA repository, short embargo acceptable
Issues: length of embargo, ensuring deposit & availability, licenses & use/re-use rights
What about OA to Data?
What?Online access at no charge to the user.
(but clear re-use rights even more important!)
How?Deposit in data repository/infrastructure

Goals
2014: OA policies in all MS
2016: 60% OA in Europe
2014-2020: H2020 100% OA

Conclusions of policy review
Disparate follow-up to 2007 EU initiative
No clear OA obligations in many MS
2007 policy needs to be updated
Commission Recommendations
Complete set of recommendations to MS
Consistency between H2020/MS policies
OA to publications
OA to data (with some caveats)
Accompanying measures
OA in the Member States
Now it's
the infrastructure, stupid

"[T]ruly free access to scientific data is not possible without a coordinated effort of European and global stakeholders to build and sustain an underlying seamless and trusted infrastructure."
http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=SPEECH/12/392
"[Interoperability] is the key to global, multi-disciplinary science, supported by reliable and high-performance data infrastructure. We need datasets and software to work with each other"
Public Consultation on Research Data Infrastructures in H2020
closed 27/3/2013
Preliminary Conclusions
Research Data is an Infrastructure for modern science
Crossing disciplinary and geographic boundaries requires exploring the commonalities of data infrastructures
"Draft priorities" for H2020 e-Infrastructures include:
- e-Infrastructures for Open Access
- Managing, preserving and computing big data
- Community-driven advanced data services
- Centres of Excellence for computing applications
- Supercomputing for data-driven applications
- Development of data-centric science skills
- GÉANT/research networking
