#OpenResearchInformation #OA2020

Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information Road map on Open Research Information At the Paris Conference on Open Research Information in September 2024, signatories and supporters of the Barcelona Declaration formulated and prioritized c...

Supporting institutions to have openness of research information included in publisher negotations is one of the actions on the roadmap of the Declaration barcelona-declaration.org/roadmap/, so it's great to see the consensus on this in the #OA2020 statement!

Text fragment from the final statement of the OA2020 17th Berlin Conference on Open Access, including a list of objectives the following objectives to guide the next phase of publisher negotiations toward an open scholarly communication paradigm. Objective 3: Transparency: A rapid transition to open access requires that all stakeholders have full visibility into the data necessary to steward this shift and prepare for a future where financial flows equitably support the needs of authors and the research community. We call on publishers to collaborate with the research community to enable the full opening of research information, as described in the Barcelona Declaration. Only with full transparency around publication data, publication ethics and quality assurance standards, and pricing—including information on waivers, discounts, and the impacts of geopricing—can the global research community assess progress, ensure accountability, and cultivate a fair and sustainable open scholarly publishing ecosystem.

Earlier this week, the final statement of the #OA2020 @oa2020.bsky.social
17th Berlin Open Access Conference was published

It's great to see transparancy included as objective for publisher negotiations, with an explicit mention of the Barcelona Declaration.

Anyway. I consider that a […]
