About OpenAIRE
Some examples & conclusions
Open Access: what,
why and how
Open Access is the immediate, online, free availability of research outputs –free of charge and free of most licensing restrictions.
Open Access includes the outputs that scholars normally give away for free for publication; it includes peer-reviewed journal articles, conference papers and datasets of various kinds.
What is Open Access?
Open Access : Why?
Increases access, visibility, and impact of research results
Promotes the progress and efficiency of science and sparks innovation
Maximizes the return of investment in science by making publicly-funded research freely and publicly available
Allows better monitoring, evaluation and management of research activities
OpenAIRE @ EARMA 24 June 2011
Open Access: How?
Gold OA: Open Access Journals, that don’t establishany restriction or barrier on access to the articlesthey publish (currently more than 6500 journals, ≃26% of total number of journals- seewww.doaj.org).
Green OA: Self-archive/deposit a copy of journalarticles into Open Access repositories, institutionalor disciplinary (currently almost 2000 – verwww.opendoar.org /).
Open Access in EU
Open Access in the EU
The European Comission and the European ResearchCouncil want to provide the widest dissemination andaccess to the results of the research they fund.
European Research Council
December 2007
ERC Scientific Council publishes Guidelines for Open Access, as a follow up of its 2006 Statement on Open Access.
ERC, requires:
that all peer-reviewed publications from ERC-funded research projects be deposited on publication into an appropriate disciplinary or institutional repository, and subsequently made Open Access within 6 months of publication.
Open Access Pilot in FP7
August 2008
European Commission launched the Open Access Pilot in FP7 that will run until the end of the Framework Programme
The pilot covers approximately 20% of the FP7 budget and applies to 7 research areas:
1. Energy
2. Environment (including Climate Change)
3. Health
4. Information and Communication Technologies (Cognitive Systems, Interaction, Robotics)
5. Research Infrastructures (e-infrastructures)
6. Science in society
7. Socio-economic sciences and the humanities
Open Access Pilot in FP7
Grant agreements in those 7 areas, signed after August 2008, contain a special clause (Special Clause 39) requiring beneficiaries:
1. to deposit articles resulting from FP7 projects into an institutional or subject based repository
2. to make their best efforts to ensure open access to these articles within six months (Energy, Environment, Health, Information and Communication Technologies, Research Infrastructures) or twelve months (Science in Society, Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities
Open Access in the EU
Chapter 2.5.2. of the Digital Agenda for Europe – Driving ICT innovation by exploiting the single market – refers to effectively managed knowledge transfer activities and states that publicly funded research should be widely disseminated through Open Access publication of scientific data and papers.
Europe 2020 Flagship Initiative Innovation Union has a similar Open Access clause: the Commission will promote Open Access to the results of publicly funded research; and it will aim to make Open Access to publications the general principle for projects funded by the EU research Framework Programmes.
Open Access in the EU
“The question is no longer „if‟ we should have open access. The question is about „how‟ we should develop it further and promote it.”Neelie Kroes
Vice President of the European Commission for the Digital Agenda

“If your employer or research funder REQUIRED you to deposit copies of your articles in an open archive, what would be your reaction?”
What you can do to support OA
• Learn about institutional and funder policies
• Find out how your research grant workflow fits with your institutional repository
• Inform academics about IP and copyright issues
• Tell your colleagues about Open Access and the requirements that your institution needs to meet
• Manage research outputs in accordance with institutional policies
• Link your research management system with your OA repository
• Support “gold” OA with an institutional OA publishing fund

12/2009 – 11/2012
OpenAIRE @ EARMA 24 June 2011
The Project
OpenAIRE = Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe
December 2009 – November 2012
Budget: 5 Mio. with 4,1 Mio. EC contribution
Partners: All EU member states (except Luxembourg) plus Norway

OpenAIRE @ EARMA 24 June 2011
Main Goals
Deliver “an electronic infrastructure and supporting mechanisms for the identification, deposition, access, and monitoring of FP7 and ERC funded articles”.
Additionally, offer “a special repository for articles that can be stored neither in institutional nor in subject-based/thematic repositories”.
All deposited articles will be visible and freely accessible world-wide through a new portal to the products of EU-funded research, built as part of this project.
Work with several subject communities to explore the requirements and practices to deposit, access and manage research datasets in combination with research publications.

Conclusions: How to support
your researchers
Inform researchers about eligibilty of publication costs and ask them to add a budget to Project Proposals. (GA Annex II.16.4)
During the project
– Check the FP7 projects for Special Clause 39 and researchers of the IDEAS/ERC programme
– Inform project coordinators and researchers about their obligations resulting from the EC/ERC open access policies
– Provide resources online: leaflet, checklist, link to local library and helpdesk on www.openaire.eu
– Use NCP newsletters to promote the OA policies
– Follow-up with researchers and help with them with their final report
Collaborate with your local library
– Provide an OA repository and adjust to OpenAIRE Guidelines
– Working together with the research office inform researchers about the OA policies and support them in copyright issues
– Help identifying and uploading publications
– Promote the OA policies on website and at events
