Scientific data“Our vision is a scientific e-infrastructure that supports seamless access, use, re-use and trust of data. In a sense … the data themselves become an infrastructure – a valuable asset on which science, technology, the economy and society can advance.” (Neelie Kroes)
Start slowly, pilot, partner and build infrastructures
H2020 has a proposed DATA PILOT

Research Councils UK (RCUK)
Authors must use ‘RCUK-compliant’ journals:
Offer a Gold option, or
Where a journal does not offer Gold it must offer the Green option with an embargo of <6 months
Enabling Open Scholarship
Perverse consequences
Subscription journals lengthen their embargoes to >6 months
Subscription journals offer a Gold option = hybrid journals
UK authors must pay for this
No upper limit on APCs
Funds will be given from RCUK to universities to administer...
This is NOT a policy for others to follow!
