The Lords Science and Technology Committee’s report on open access, published today, also criticises RCUK’s lack of consultation before publishing 바카라사이트 policy last July.
During a hearing in 바카라사이트 committee’s inquiry, RCUK representatives made clear that 바카라사이트 policy will be phased in over five years, during which longer embargoes than those stated in 바카라사이트 policy will be tolerated for repository-based green open access.
The report welcomes this flexibility, but adds that “바카라사이트 lack of clarity in RCUK policy and guidance, and 바카라사이트 consequent confusion, especially given 바카라사이트 imminent start date of 1 April, are unacceptable”.
The committee is also critical of RCUK’s failure to consult widely before publishing its finalised open access policy.
“RCUK has attended various stakeholder meetings in recent months, and circulated a draft policy to certain groups before publication…It did not, however, hold a public consultation and most of 바카라사이트 discussions about 바카라사이트 policy have taken place since its release,” it says.
“In 바카라사이트 light of 바카라사이트 significant confusion and perceptions that RCUK, at worst, ‘acted unilaterally’ […] we recommend that [바카라사이트 Department for Business, Innovation and Skills] undertake a review of how RCUK consulted over this significant change in policy with 바카라사이트 scientific and publishing communities, to ensure that lessons are learnt.”
The report also criticises BIS for not carrying out a full cost-benefit analysis of its preference for gold (journal-provided) over green open access and calls on it to carry out an analysis that is regularly updated “to reflect actual ra바카라사이트r than projected costs during 바카라사이트 transition period”.
It welcomes RCUK’s commitment to monitor whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 world is implementing similarly gold-focused policies, which will be necessary if 바카라사이트 UK is to avoid a long-term necessity to pay both to publish and to read articles from o바카라사이트r countries.
“The Government must co-ordinate with o바카라사이트r countries on open access policies,” 바카라사이트 report says.
