Victoire ! Tous les articles scientifiques européens en libre accès à partir de 2020 | Open-Up Public Science! | Scoop.it
From francais.eu2016.nl - May 28, 2016 11:15 AM
En 2020, tous les articles scientifiques seront librement accessibles en Europe. Les États membres entendent ainsi optimiser la réutilisation des données de la recherche. Ils élaborent également un visa valable dans toute l’UE pour les start-up.

Bernard Rentier's insight:
Ça y est...! La bataille de l'accès libre est vraiment gagnée. Le coût de la lecture va pratiquement disparaître. Mais attention, il va falloir maintenant se battre pour limiter le coût de publication...! Donc ne pas s'endormir sur ses lauriers !Quoi qu'il arrive, seule une reprise en mains complète du processus de communication scientifique par la communauté des chercheurs permettra de vraiment en sortir, revenant ainsi aux fondements de l'échange entre chercheurs dans le seul but de faire avancer la science.Évitons les sous-traitances usurières, la guerre n'est pas finie.

A new initiative that has to be carefully looked at, discussed and questioned, not only as to its final goals but also as to the major issues that will surge on the way: precise framing, fairness, IP, trust building, durability, etc.

Bernard Rentier on Open Access at OpenForum Thursday 10 March 2016 at 18h30

From www.openforum.be - February 29, 2016 9:15 AM

Thursday 10 March 2016 at 18h30

At the University Foundation 11 rue d'Egmont, 1000 Bruxelles.

Bernard RENTIER, Honorary Rector of the Université de Liège (ULg),  Chairman of Enabling Open Scholarship, will develop 

Open Access : why is it so important for Society ?


together with Michael BON, creator of the The Self-Journal of Science

Short abstract

Professor Bernard Rentier, as rector of the Université de Liège, has impulsed a strict policy that mandates the use of the institutional repository for research assessment. This has had a very strong impact on the availability of the scholarly papers available for anyone, resulting in much more citations of the papers of the researchers and the institution itself.

Mr Rentier will develop this case and explain its motivations for the Society at large and institutions themselves. He will also develop what can be perceived with respect to the evolution of research and its communication, as well as the necessary reform of its evaluation and the evaluation of the researchers.

Professor Rentier will also introduce a model that he finds extremely promising and interesting, that will be further developped by its founder, Michael Bon, creator of the The Self-Journal of Science, an open non-commercial repository with free journal-like services.


Participation is free but registration is mandatory at http://www.openforum.be/category/registration.html 

With the support of the Wallonie-Bruxelles Federation

Joint COAR-UNESCO Statement on Open Access

From www.unesco.org - May 24, 2016 2:20 AM

Bernard Rentier's insight:
UNESCO and COAR warn rightfully about the growing temptation of solving the problem of scientific publication by a simple flipping from "pay to read, not to publish" to "pay to publish, not to read". The "pay to publish" is not only unethical (conflict of interest: "if I pay enough, you publish"), it is also profoundly anti-democratic, creating a variable-speed system again where the wealthiest will have access to publish in the "poshest" "journals"...UNESCO's warning reveals this consciousness of the dangers we have been talking about for a while...

The funders and the University are all working towards a shared goal – we are wanting a culture change towards more open research, including the sharing of research data. To achieve this we need a more aware and engaged research community on these matters. There is much advocacy to do.

Bernard Rentier's insight:
"Publishers want to keep their subscriptions and applied research labs are concerned about IP".- Indeed, publishers have to worry about their subscriptions because of the change of paradigm. Every time a paradigm has changed in history, business models have had to adapt or disappear (this is why they want us to pay for publishing). And again, cost will be proportional to publisher's prestige...- On the other hand, applied research labs and industry don't have to worry about IP (intellectual property). OA has nothing to do with IP. IP rights preservation is only concerned about whether to publish or not and not at all about how to publish (traditional or OA).
