exercise

in view of providing evidence to assist Open Access policy development. The
basis of this work was the rebuilding of ROARMAP and the development of a
new classification scheme. The associated policy effectiveness exercise
provided important evidence to support that policies must include at least
three elements for effectiveness, namely, *the deposit must be mandatory*, *the
deposit cannot be waived*, and *the deposit must be linked with research
evaluation*. PASTEUR4OA briefing paper

overviews the international developments that have led to an increase of
scientific information becoming available on Open Access. The paper also
examines the EU's role in promoting Open Access to scientific information.
By contextualising Open Access policy developments at the global and EU
levels, the paper demonstrates the role PASTEUR4OA plays in advancing the
EU’s Open Access policy to scientific publications in Horizon 2020.

Blog *Open Access to Research Data*
Open Access to scientific information and research data are well aligned
concepts related to enabling access to publicly funded research. In a
recent blog post
<http://pasteur4oa.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5fbf4a76563e0df5ac5e3eef0&id=285d4b9649&e=3b2e2546fa>
Marieke Guy takes a closer look at the Horizon 2020 requirement that
publicly funded research publications should not only be Open Access but
that the data behind them should also be shared and openly available.
News
from Europe EC FP7 post-grant Gold Open Access Pilot launched
A new funding mechanism has recently been established by the European
Commission under the OpenAIRE2020 project umbrella to support Open Access
publications arising from finished (“post-grant”) FP7 projects. This Gold
OA Pilot

will cover Open Access publication fees for up to three research articles
or monographs per eligible FP7 project. The Gold OA Pilot policy guidelines
rule out funding for publications in hybrid journals. The Gold OA Pilot
policy guidelines and FAQs will be released in May. National

mandate. Cyprus Open Access Working Group meeting
On 22 April 2015 the first meeting of the Working Group for Open Access
took place in the University of Cyprus and was attended by the main
research funding institutions and academic institutions. The meeting’s
agenda included an overview of the EU policies and practices on Open
Access, the benefits of Open Access, the reasons for adopting a national
open access policy, and the potential creation of a national repository. At
the meeting, it was proposed that a communication portal is created and
that a draft policy is developed with the support of various EU
stakeholders. Finland’s Open Science and Research Roadmap
2014-2017
On 25 November 2014, Finland's Ministry of Education and Culture released The
Open Science and Research Roadmap 2014–2017
<http://pasteur4oa.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5fbf4a76563e0df5ac5e3eef0&id=f1a980c516&e=3b2e2546fa>.
Finland's vision on Open Science is that *"open research leads to
surprising discoveries and creative insights". *The roadmap specifies
that *"information
flow is facilitated by clear policies and best practices, and by providing
services to safeguard the availability of scientific and research
results".* Open
Access policy updates from Germany
Hamburg's new government is committed to formulate an Open Access policy.
The government announced that it will do so by *"**develop[ing] *an
open-access strategy with universities, the State and University Library
Carl von Ossietzky and the German National Library of Economics”. The
Schleswig-Holstein's government recently published its Strategy 2020 which
includes an Open Access policy. The policy was formally launched in the
state capital, Kiel, on 7 April by the Science Minister. Greece’s
new law on research and innovation
Law 4310/2014 was adopted by the Greek Parliament in December 2014
and signals the Greek government's attempt to formulate an Open Access
policy aligned with the Horizon 2020 Open Access mandate. The law
stipulates that the General Secretariat of Research and Technology and
public research institutions should promote Open Access to publicly funded
research through the deposit of an electronic copy of the final version of
the manuscript in a public repository. Italy’s CINECA joins
DSpace Steering Group
CINECA, the Italian supercomputing centre for scientific research, which
includes more than 70 members from Italian universities, research
institutions and the Ministry of Education, has recently joined the DuraSpace

The non-paper describes the necessity of Member States to cooperate in the
enhancement of Open Access. “*This non-paper seeks to describe the mutual
agreement of Member States on the importance of Open Access for a
successful European Research Area. The focus is on Open Access to
publications, but this cannot be isolated from Open Access to the
underlying data”.* Updates from Slovakia
