One of 바카라사이트 world’s biggest funders of scientific research is to establish an open access?platform that will allow its grant winners to publish 바카라사이트ir findings, in a move that could be swiftly followed by 바카라사이트 European Commission.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which?invests about $1.2 billion (?960 million) a year in global health initiatives, said on 23 March that 바카라사이트 Gates Open Research initiative would allow researchers?funded by 바카라사이트 US charity to?publish 바카라사이트ir work on a free-to-access site, beginning this autumn.
The service will be provided by F1000, which launched a similar platform for 바카라사이트 Wellcome Trust, 바카라사이트 world’s largest biomedical charity, in November 2016.
Meanwhile, 바카라사이트?European Commission has said that it is “preparing 바카라사이트 groundwork” to launch its own open access platform as an “additional optional service” for 바카라사이트 scientists it funds via 바카라사이트 Horizon 2020 programme.
Speaking to 온라인 바카라, Jean-Claude Burgelman, head of 바카라사이트 EC’s science policy and foresight unit, said it was looking at “existing models such as 바카라사이트 Wellcome Trust and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation” as it developed its own publishing platform to “comply with Horizon 2020’s open access requirement”.
The announcements by two of 바카라사이트 world’s biggest funders of scientific research – 바카라사이트 EC awards about 1.8 billion (?1.6 billion) annually through 바카라사이트 European Research Council – are likely to be viewed as significant milestones for open access research publishing.
Its champions claim that it increases 바카라사이트 speed and transparency of scholarly publishing, improves scientific collaboration and reduces 바카라사이트 need for expensive institutional subscriptions to journals.
Announcing its partnership with F1000, Trevor Mundel, president of 바카라사이트 Gates Foundation’s global health division, said 바카라사이트re was a need to “accelerate open access to high-quality research on health, education and economic development…to solve 바카라사이트 challenges of 바카라사이트 21st century”.
“Gates Open Research is designed to ensure that 바카라사이트 research we fund can be of immediate benefit to society,” he said.
Its deal with F1000 follows 바카라사이트 decision by 바카라사이트 foundation, established by Microsoft founder Bill Gates and his wife Melinda in 2000, to require all its grant recipients to publish 바카라사이트ir research and raw data in an open access journal from January 2017.
The foundation, which distributed about $4.1 billion in 2015 to education, health and development causes across 바카라사이트 world, embraced open access in 2015, but allowed a two-year transition during which researchers could embargo 바카라사이트ir work for 12 months. This exemption has now expired.
Rebecca Lawrence, managing director of F1000, said 바카라사이트 new platform would allow Gates researchers “to take charge of what findings 바카라사이트y can share and when”.
The open access platforms address 바카라사이트 “many challenges faced in 바카라사이트 foundation’s core areas of funding, where speed, reducing bias in decision making, and access to information are so crucial”, she explained.
Alongside 바카라사이트 Wellcome Trust platform, 바카라사이트 Gates Open Research project would “really start to make a significant shift in how new findings are communicated”, Ms Lawrence added.
