  1. Research impact through open access: IT developments make possible new diffusion rules Sharing and knowledge communication made ​​possible by the printing press contributed significantly to the advancement of science and scientific progress Johannes Gensfleischzur Laden zumGutenberg (1400 – 1468)

  2. WHY OPEN ACCESS? The results of research funded by public money should be publicly accessible OA Improvesvisibility and citation rates Excessive subscriptionfees, (too?) large margins for the publishers

  3. 1. THE INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT (1) • 2002: the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) • Self-archivingthe journal articles in an open accessrepository(green road) • Publishingin an open access journal (gold road) • 2003: Berlin Declarationon Open Access to Knowledge in theSciencesandHumanities • Topromote the Internet as a functionalinstrument for global scientificknowledge base • Tospecifymeasureswhichstakeholdersneedtoconsider

  4. 1. THE INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT (2) • 2003 – today: gradual implementation by the universities, research funding agencies and operators, of policies and repositories • H2020: OA, a core strategy in the EC to improve knowledge circulation and thus innovation • general principle for OA to scientific publications in Horizon 2020 and pilot for research data • 2012: a recommendation to all EU Member States to put publicly-funded research results in the public sphere in order to strengthen science and the knowledge-based economy.

  5. 1. THE INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT (3) DOAJ: 10,613 OA peer-reviewedJournals; 135 Countries; 2,108,312 Articles (gold) ROAR: ~ 4.000 repositories In 2015

  6. SHERPA / ROMEO a global accessible online database thatlists the policies of journal publishersregardinginstitutionalrepositories Version Embargo period ~ 2.150 publishers http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/

  7. 1. THE INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT (5) More than 2.5 Millions of articles published world wide 30% of the scientific production in OA 1/3 gold – 2/3 green (Ulrich database)

  8. 1. THE INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT (6)

  9. 2. THE OA FNRS POLICY: the organization(1) • Public interestFoundationsince 1928 • (~1990: FNRS  F.R.S.-FNRS + FWO Vlaanderen) • Mission: to support basic research in the • universities of WBF(justlikeERC) key player in basic researchin WBF • Freedomfor research: • bottom-up process, all scientificfields • scientific excellence  international experts and panels for fundingdecisions (evaluationprocedure at the level of international standards) • label of quality, scientificprizes • Annualbudget: ~170 M€ (90% public funding) • Funding instruments: fellowships, grants, international cooperation • Employer of ~2.300 researchers(from PhD to tenure) hosted in one of the 6 univ

  10. 2. THE OA FNRS POLICY: main steps (2) 1. 2001:BICTEL/e decision of the Governing Boards of WBF Universities to implement the archiving of theses and e- prints(bibliographic references, theses)  3.600 theses, partly accessible 2. 2004: adoption of the green road in WBF and launch of the WBF repositoriesproject(1 repository per Academy) 3. 2007: Endorsement of the Berlin Declaration by the WBF universities and by the FNRS

  11. 2. THE OA FNRS POLICY: main steps (3) • 4. 2012: Endorsement of the Brussels Declaration on Open Access by political authorities, WBF universities and FNRS • Belgian policy on open access to scientific information • Committmentto maximizingfree availability of publiclyfundedresearchresults • active information of researchers • to investigate the possibility of public authorities covering the costs of OA publishing • 5. FNRS OA Policies FNRS: freedom to research…. but open accesspolicies do not affect the author’sfreedom to choosewhere to publish, nor do theyinterferewithpatenting or otherforms of commercial exploitation

  12. 2. THE OA FNRS POLICY: implementation (4) STEP 1: 16 Dec 2011, decision of the FNRS governingboard: submission of lists of publications from institutional repositories for candidates for FNRS fellowships (recommendation in 2012, required in 2013) STEP 2 : 7 Dec. 2012, decisionof the FNRS governingboard: extension of rule 1 to candidatespromotersof grants (CDR, PDR, EQP, MIS) STEP 1 STEP 2

  13. 2. THE OA FNRS POLICY: implementation (5) • 25 April 2013: final adoption of the Regulation on the implementation of the policy of " free access" to scientific publications resulting from FNRS funding (implementationon 1 October2013) • outputs resulting from research projects carried • by FNRS researchers must be self-archived • in their host institution’s repository (from 2008) • outputs resulting from research projects • (CDR, PDR, EQP, MIS) funded by the FNRS must be • self-archived in their host institution’s repository • funded researchers who wish to publish directly in an OA format (gold road) can claim the costs of the publication to a limit of 500 EUR per article (only for journals not listed in the Beall’s list) • cost for hybrid journals are not eligible accessible no more than 6 months after the publication (12 months in SSH) Research-funded results: any peer-reviewed journal article, conference proceedings, participation in symposiums, seminars, which have been subject to scientific publications

  14. 2. THE OA FNRS POLICY: implementation (6) • Communication to researchers and promoters • On FNRS WEB site (May 2013) • In a e-Newsletter (May 2013) • In the granting mails to candidates and promoters (from Oct. 2013) a FAQ section for a full understanding of these new regulations

  15. 3. SOME PENDING QUESTIONS (1) • Green road: (national?) mandates are needed to make it clear that the authors must deposit their research results in their host institution’s repository (a matter of sticks and carrots…) • Open Access Journals (gold): • OAJ are less established than subscription journals and many are not being tracked for IF (not measured as strong? but young researchers often judged on the reputation of the journals in which they publish...)OA journals still have to mature: • Most of the OA journals listed in the DOAJ do not use any kind of CC license for free distribution of the work • Doubts about quality (peer review; lack of prestige vs lack of quality) • Publication fees: a fair price?

  16. 3. SOME PENDING QUESTIONS (2) • A new publishersbusiness model is expected • Limited or no impact on the leading subscriptions • Level of Article ProcessingCharges • No double dipping? • (LERU press release October 2015: Christmas is over. Research funding should go to research, not to publishers) • Length of embargo period (subscription-basedjournalsprovide free online accessupon the expiry of an embargoperiodfollowing the initial publication date) • Arts and humanities: a change of culture….

  17. 4. THE OA FNRS ACTIONS (1) • September 2011: organization of an international symposium on OA at the FU (with the participation of Steven Harnad) (http://webcast.richcast.eu/fnrs-open-access ) • Active member of a Science Europe Working Group on OA, to address key issues in a coordinated-way by exchange of good practice principles

  18. 4. THE OA FNRS ACTIONS (2) • Active member of PASTEUR4OA (http://www.pasteur4oa.eu/): to develop and/or reinforce OA strategies and policies at the national level and facilitate their coordination among all MS 15 partners • Financial support to DARIAH(ESFRI Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities ) • Financial support to SCOAP3 (CERN - partnership of thousands of libraries, key funding agencies and research centers in more than 40 countries)  key journals in the field of HEP converted to OA at no cost for authors, publishers centrally payedfor the costs involved in providing OA, publishers in turn reduce subscription fees to all customers (in a way commensurate to their scientific output) • To be done: Harvesting of the WBF repositories

  19. 4. THE OA FNRS ACTIONS (3) SPI: an online databasewith a summary of the researchprojectsfunded by the FNRS Véronique Halloin – Secrétaire Général du F.R.S.-FNRS – 22 octobre 2015
