Open Access in FP6, FP7 and H2020

• Formal scholarly literature– Journal articles– Books and their parts

• Accompanying data• Other peer reviewed research outputs

– Image, video and audio formats– Software

• Non-peer reviewed outputs

FP6

• Report on economic and technical evolution of scientific publication markets in Europe (2006)

FP7

• Policy planning• ERC guidelines (2007)• Council Conclusions (2007)• Pilot Open Access policy from 2008

Projects (completed)

• Supported by several research projects, including:– SOAP– PEER– NECOBELAC– MEDOANET

• And substantial infrastructure projects:– DRIVER– OpenAIRE– DARIAH– ELIXIR

Projects (underway)

• RECODE (data) – Open Data policy focus• PASTEUR4OA – Open Access policy focus• FOSTER (Open Science training programme)

Where we are

• Solid policy foundation on Open Access to literature (H2020 outputs, ERC-funded outputs)

• Policy ‘toe-in-the-water’ on Open Data• Promising infrastructure foundation for both

Open Access and Open Data

But …• No idea how effective these are so far, or will be

over the coming years (despite a stated OA target for 2016)

• No monitoring procedures in place• Little interest detected from Commission so far• OpenAIRE remains a PROJECT• Open Data as the primary output of research

remains unexplored• Still floundering on meaningful metrics for

research impact: leadership needed

H2020: what is needed• Commitment to permanent infrastructures to support:

– Open Access literature (OpenAIRE)– Open Data (all disciplines)

• Deeper understanding of what is needed to support transformation of the scientific research system to an Open Data model

• Commitment to monitoring and enforcing existing and future policy

• Leadership on changing the culture on research impact measurement

• Leadership on joined-up policy/infrastructures
