#OpenAccess #OA100
📣 The campaign to reach 100% Open Access ends this week! Our focus is on supporting open access publishing and exploring the role librarians play in shaping the scholarly communication system. Follow us to get new insights #OA100
🇳🇱 In the Netherlands, the law already includes the #SecondaryPublishingRight. The “You share, we take care” campaign helped authors and librarians exercise it, making Dutch research openly available. #OA100 3/3
🇮🇹 In Italy, libraries and research centres campaign to change the law and include the #SecondaryPublishingRight, following the Rights2Pub initiative. A strong example of advocacy for fair access and #OpenScience! #OA100 2/3
💡 Librarians, join forces for legal reform or action! In Italy, they campaign to add the #SecondaryPublishingRight; in the Netherlands, they campaign to use it. If your country has the right, exercise it; if not, work to get it. Let’s act to get #OA100! #OpenAccess👇🧵 1/3
A six-month embargo might not sound long, unless you’re facing a pandemic, a climate emergency, or an urgent health crisis. Embargoes create unnecessary delays to publicly funded research. Countries should push for #Zeroembargo = immediate access. #OA100 Look at the current situation 👇🧵

What are the differences between #RightsRetention and #SecondaryPublishingRight? Both help achieve #OpenAccess, but the mechanisms differ. #OA100
🎓💪 Librarians: Your authors and institutional leaders need you to clarify this distinction!

#RightsRetention is spreading! 🌍 The UK🇬🇧leads, but institutions in other countries are adopting RR in their policies or actively analysing their approaches to RR to achieve #OA100. We'll share examples tomorrow! 👀
Which country is next? Share your thoughts👇
#RightsRetention is a tool that helps institutions to manage their research outputs, making them immediately #OpenAccess. It's not just policy, it's power. What steps are needed to implement RR at your institution? Share your thoughts! #RetainYourRights #OA100 🧵1/5
Follow @sparc-eu.bsky.social for their #OA100 campaign 💪
🚀Empower Librarians. ⚠️ Achieving #OA100 requires skilled library professionals trained in research data management, metadata curation, and Rights Retention strategy. Advocate for ongoing, dedicated training budgets now.
Librarians: You are the key to unlocking Green Open Access.
You guide authors through complex policies; now, let's turn that knowledge into action and boost repository use. Which action is your priority at your institution? Let us know #OA100! 👇 #OpenAccess (open thread)🧵👇
To achieve 100% #OpenAccess, you need to engage with issues on repositories and #GreenOpenAccess route. This is where libraries can support #OA100. 👇
🤖For #GenerativeAI and TDM, libraries must ensure data is structured, open, and machine-readable. Lead by using linked open data, ensuring machine-actionable metadata, and collaborating with IT/Research. #OA100

Metadata is the key to #OpenScience and reaching 100% OA.
📊 Interoperable metadata = discoverable, machine-readable, and AI-ready research.
👇How to optimise your repository for metadata #OA100
🧭 This week’s challenge: Review your repository policy! Align with COAR and OpenAIRE guidelines and ensure data interoperability with your CRIS system and use PIDs to boost visibility. Share your success story with #OA100 to inspire others. 👉COAR Good Practices: tinyurl.com/25zck4nv
🇮🇪 To get #OA100, Ireland's plan makes repositories a central infrastructure. This requires an interoperable network with standardised metadata (like OpenAIRE v.4) for all Irish research outputs to ensure maximum visibility and access. 👉National Plan: repository.dri.ie/catalog/ff36...

A quick look at how European countries include their repositories as critical infrastructure in national regulations. This is key to achieving 100% #GreenOpenAccess and ensuring long-term preservation.

To achieve 100% open access, you need to engage with issues on copyright and ownership. This is where libraries can support. 👇

Librarians, let's turn policy into action this #OpenAccessWeek! 🎯
We need to move the needle on 100% #OpenAccess. Your institution can take three key actions this week. Which are you prioritising? #OA100 🧵1/4
This #OpenAccessWeek, we face a critical question: Who owns academic knowledge? Researchers, publishers, or institutions? In some countries, universities and RPOs hold some economic rights over the work of their academics. How is this in your country? Let’s look at some cases: #copyright #OA100 🧵1/4
