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
