Description:
The EU and many other research funders now mandate open access to scientific publications resulting from public funding. One of the central implementation issues is the search for sustainable models supporting a transition to open access. This workshop (9h-18h) aims to collect information and reflect on each of the models presented.
Currently, the most commonly discussed models are green open access and gold open access based on article processing charges (APCs). These models each have their pros and cons, but are not the only possibilities. New models are now emerging that could optimise existing arrangements and put forward new ones. During the current transition period towards universal open access, the European Commission wishes to collect information about alternative and new open access publishing models.
The following questions about new open access publishing models are central to the workshop:
- How do the alternative open access publishing models work?
- Why were theses models chosen and how have they evolved?
- What works well in these models? What challenges still need to be dealt with?
- What model(s) should the European Commission support and/or adopt for open access in Horizon 2020 and why?
- What model(s) would make sense for Europe as a whole and science globally?
