[Open-access] Science 2.0 position papers

[Pierre-Carl Langlais]

Hi everyone,

The EU program Science 2.0 leads a consultation on the future of
scientific research. It has published several interesting responses
<http://scienceintransition.eu/position-papers/> from leading european
public institutions, publishers, and organisations.

There is not much novelties in the documents per se. For instance, the
response
<https://scienceintransition.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/reed-elsevier.pdf>
of Elsevier merely reiterates its strong objections regarding legal
intervention on Open Access and Text and Data Mining.

Nevertheless, juding from the high proportion of pro-OA responses, the
balance of power seems to shift at the expense of Elsevier & co (which,
not long ago, were in a position to dictate the main EU process on TDM,
Licences for Europe).
