Why Europe’s researchers and academics want a clear open access policy
in Horizon 2020
In the next few months the European Parliament will decide its position
on open access scientific publishing in Horizon 2020. A number of the
key issues at stake are the present barriers to access to knowledge
generated with EU funding, the high cost European public institutions
pay for peer- reviewed scientific journals and how to best promote
academic excellence and innovation with public funding.

 How academic publishing is changing in the digital era and what the
benefits and difficulties of open access scientific publishing models are.
 What a clear EU open access policy in Horizon 2020 would mean for
academic excellence, innovation and for citizens in general.
Issues to be considered: dissemination, effectiveness of public
financing, transparency, academic freedom, peer review, research
excellence and the financing of publishing costs.
 Does open access to publication and data pose affect the management
intellectual property rights?
 What is the difference between open access for publications and open
access for data?
 What are the benefits of Open Access to scientific data policies for
researchers and for public
interest? What kind of data are we talking about?
 What legal language and what investments are needed in Horizon 2020 to
assure open access?
