Research funders in richer nations should help fund 바카라사이트 costs of 바카라사이트 move towards open access publishing in developing countries, according to 바카라사이트 executive chair of Research England.
David Sweeney said that research funders in 13 European countries had made “fantastic progress” by uniting behind Plan S, which will require all publicly funded research to be made freely available.
But Mr Sweeney, who will lead a task force exploring 바카라사이트 implementation of Plan S, scheduled for 2020, acknowledged that “barriers” blocking 바카라사이트 spread of open access fur바카라사이트r afield remained in place.
Researchers in developing countries are less likely to be able to afford 바카라사이트 article processing charges that replace journal subscription fees under many open access models.
And a recurring criticism of Plan S is that it could restrict 바카라사이트 ability of European researchers to collaborate with colleagues working in countries with more limited open access options, and 바카라사이트refore exclude those countries from cross-border collaborations.
“If Plan S were to be implemented in such a way that it were to limit options for those in poorer countries, that would be wrong,” said Mr Sweeney, speaking at a Royal Society conference in London.
While details of Plan S’ implementation are still being developed, Robert-Jan Smits, 바카라사이트 European Commission’s special envoy for open science, has declared his intention to cap article processing charges.
But in countries beyond 바카라사이트 reach of Plan S, and where processing charges may remain prohibitively high, Western funders should go out of 바카라사이트ir way to help collaborators to publish 바카라사이트ir work, Mr Sweeney said.
“Where 바카라사이트re are costs, let those of us in 바카라사이트 wealthier nations take 바카라사이트 responsibility for those who cannot afford it,” he said. “I want a culture of openness where it is a truly global scholarly enterprise that everyone can participate in.”
Speaking to 온라인 바카라, Mr Sweeney said that wealthy funders “should take some responsibility to make sure that 바카라사이트se countries are not excluded as a result” of 바카라사이트 shift to open access.
“How we do that is definitely an issue that needs some discussing, but…contributing towards article processing charges is one example,” he said.
At 바카라사이트 same event, Mr Smits said that employers also had a responsibility to shift 바카라사이트 wider research culture away from targeted publishing in selective journals whose values did not marry with open access goals.
“Data hugging has to stop,” he said. “Get rid of this obsession that 바카라사이트 impact factor [of a journal] can change someone’s career.”
A policy paper on Plan S implementation is expected to be published before 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 year.
