This report describes activities in the Member States (MS) and Associated Countries (AC) related to EOSC. It summarises existing policies and investments based on input from the MS and AC and using the expert knowledge of the WG members and delegates to the EOSC governing board, is complemented by information from Horizon 2020 research projects and from open sources. The goal of the EOSC is to make research data and software in Europe open and accessible to all researchers - Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable (FAIR). EOSC will be implemented by joint efforts between the European Commission (EC), the EU MS and AC, research communities, and other stakeholders. EOSC is a federated structure with a central core of standards and services that interlinks with national and institutional resources and research infrastructures providing data and services. It is these resources and infrastructures that the WG has focused on in this report. A flexible and sustainable governance model for EOSC must

  • Plan S in Latin America: a Precautionary Note
    Plan S in Latin America: A precautionary note Humberto Debat1 & Dominique Babini2 1Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria (IPAVE-CIAP-INTA), Argentina, ORCID id: 0000-0003-3056-3739, [email protected] 2Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales (CLACSO), Argentina. ORCID id: 0000-0002- 5752-7060, [email protected] Latin America has historically led a firm and rising Open Access movement and represents the worldwide region with larger adoption of Open Access practices. Argentina has recently expressed its commitment to join Plan S, an initiative from a European consortium of research funders oriented to mandate Open Access publishing of scientific outputs. Here we suggest that the potential adhesion of Argentina or other Latin American nations to Plan S, even in its recently revised version, ignores the reality and tradition of Latin American Open Access publishing, and has still to demonstrate that it will encourage at a regional and global level the advancement of non-commercial Open Access initiatives. Plan S is an initiative from a European consortium of research funders, with the intention of becoming international, oriented to mandate Open Access publishing of research outputs funded by public or private grants, starting from 2021. Launched in September 2018 and revised in May 2019, the plan supported by the so-called cOAlition S involves 10 principles directed to achieve scholarly publishing in “Open Access Journals, Open Access Platforms, or made immediately available through Open Access Repositories without embargo” [1]. cOAlition S, coordinated by Science Europe and comprising 16 national research funders, three charitable foundations and the European Research Council, has pledged to coordinately implement the 10 principles of Plan S in 2021.

Insights – 32, 2019 Plan S and the future of scholarly communication | Rob Johnson From coalition to commons: Plan S and the future of scholarly communication The announcement of Plan S in September 2018 triggered a wide-ranging debate over how best to accelerate the shift to open access. The Plan’s ten principles represent a call for the creation of an intellectual commons, to be brought into being through collective action by funders and managed through regulated market mechanisms. As it gathers both momentum and critics, the coalition must grapple with questions of equity, efficiency and sustainability. The work of Elinor Ostrom has shown that successful management of the commons frequently relies on polycentricity and adaptive governance. The Plan S principles must therefore function as an overarching framework within which local actors retain some autonomy, and should remain open to amendment as the scholarly communication landscape evolves.

  • March 13, 2019 AMS Primer on Open Access
    Robert M. Harington Associate Executive Director, Publishing Publishing Division [email protected] 401.455.4165 401.331.3842 www.ams.org AMS Primer on Open Access Introduction Open access (OA) refers to published scholarly content (such as journal research articles, and books) made openly available in online digital form. This content is free of charge at point of use, free of most copyright and licensing restrictions, and free of technical or other barriers to access (such as digital rights management or requirements to register to access). Communicating and sharing discoveries is an essential part of the research process. Any author of a research paper wants it to be read, and the fewer restrictions placed on access to those papers means that more people may benefit from the research. In many ways, the OA movement is very much in line with the shared mission of researchers, scholarly societies, and publishers. Journal publishing programs perform many services for researchers including peer review, communication, and career advancement. In society publishing programs, revenue from journal publishing directly supports the important work societies do on behalf of their scholarly communities. How do we maximize the dissemination of knowledge while at the same time maintaining both a high level of quality and a sustainable financial future for our professional society, the AMS? The OA movement can be traced to a letter from the year 2000, signed by around 34,000 researchers, demanding publishers make all content free after 6 months. The signatories of the letter said they would boycott any journals refusing to comply. In 2002, the accepted definition of OA was encapsulated in the Budapest Open Access Initiative declaration.

  • The Digital Society New Ways to More Transparency, Participation and Current Issues August 1, 2011 Innovation
    The digital society New ways to more transparency, participation and Current Issues August 1, 2011 innovation Digital structural change. The increasing use of modern network technologies is changing people’s daily social and economic lives. Today, anyone and everyone can engage interactively in digital spaces. This is giving rise to both new forms of participation and new patterns of value creation, accompanied by a shift in power towards citizen and consumer sovereignty. Digital structural change is encouraging the following open source movements in particular: Trend research Trend (Corporate) Social Media. Social networking platforms are penetrating all spheres of life. At the corporate level this is redistributing control over communications towards the internet community. Whilst businesses and organisations can benefit from the powerful ‘recommendation web’, they are also losing some of their control over customers and their communication sovereignty. This is making corporate communications more authentic and informal. Open Innovation. Interactive value creation can make companies more innovative by integrating external specialists’ and communities’ knowledge and creativity into internal processes. The more external ideas that are incorporated, the greater are the potential combinations to create something new. But open innovation also involves risks because classic value creation patterns have to be broken up and modernised with new strategies and, most importantly, with new interaction competencies. Open Government. Political institutions and government agencies are likewise opening up to increased civic engagement. The public data made available can give rise to new applications and business models. Where interaction takes place and government receives external feedback, new collaborative and participatory models are able to evolve between government and citizens.

  • Digital Science Recommendations for Food & Agriculture
    DIGITAL SCIENCE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FOOD & AGRICULTURE Edited by February 2020 Table of Contents FOREWORD 3 TOWARDS A DIGITAL ECOSYSTEM FOR SCIENCE 6 POSITION STATEMENTS FROM AGINFRAplus PARTNERS 9 POSITION STATEMENTS FROM EU STAKEHOLDERS 17 POSITION STATEMENTS FROM INTERNATIONAL STAKEHOLDERS 28 2 FOREWORD I joined FAO1 (The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN) in 1998 and got the responsibility for the AGRIS system2. AGRIS was one of the huge bibliograph- ical databases of the time which collected information about scientific and tech- nical publications in agriculture and made them available especially to partners in developing countries. AGRIS already had the two elements about which most of the contributions to this publication are speaking. Community and Technol- ogy. AGRIS centers were holding annual meetings at FAO to coordinate their efforts to cover all publications in their area. The AGRIS secretariat initiated the development of specific software which should help them to accomplish this task. CDS-ISIS3 was developed already in the early 90s. In a way, FAO had a pioneering role in creating collaboration between scientific institutions. WUR and INRA, two contributors to this volume were very important centers of the AGRIS network. Nearly all of the contributions in this volume emphasize the human factor and the necessity of community building before the technological aspects. This is understandable. Technological questions are straightforward (normally) and resolvable (theoretically). For com- munity building there exists something similar as the 2nd law of thermodynamics. DeltaS>=0. Entropy (non collaboration) in a closed system can only grow. Collaboration is not a given. Every unit has its own business model and even every single person pursues specific goals.

  • Open Data and Open Government
    Open Data and Open Government Information is a valuable national resource and a strategic asset to the Federal government, its partners, and the public. In order to ensure that the Federal government is taking full advantage of its information resources, executive departments and agencies...must manage information as an asset throughout its life cycle to promote openness and interoperability, and properly safeguard systems and information. OMB Open Data Policy — Managing Information as an Asset¹ Summary Responsibilities and governance are widely distributed in this “ policy area. Some initiatives are led by the Federal CIO, while others come directly from The White House. GSA manages Data. Stakeholders gov and Project Open Data. To date, over 185,000 government datasets have been posted on Data.gov. However, it can be difficult to measure the broader economic and civic impacts of open data and open government Impact efforts. While most CIOs reported interest in open government and open data initiatives, many expressed challenges in obtaining resources, navigating conflicts with existing policies, and balancing priorities against other efforts such as infrastructure Risk modernization and cybersecurity. Efficiently managing government data and information can increase operational efficiencies, reduce costs, improve services, and better safeguard personal information.

    Open Government The global context and the way forward HIGHLIGHTS 2016 19 The OECD’s work on open government The OECD has been at the forefront of an evidence-based analysis of open government reforms in member and non-member countries. The OECD Open Government Project provides countries with a sequence of analysis and actionable support. This include l Open Government Reviews l Capacity building seminars for public officials and civil society l Regional networks to exchange common challenges and good practices What are OECD open government reviews OECD Open Government Reviews support countries in their efforts to build more transparent, accountable and participatory governments that can restore citizens’ trust and promote inclusive growth. They provide in-depth analyses of open government policies and initiatives, and coupled with actionable recommendations, they help to further embed the principles and practices of open government within policy-making cycles and to evaluate their impacts. What is the purpose of this Highlights This highlights presents selected key facts, findings and recommendations of the Report Open Government: The Global Context and the Way Forward. The Report is based on the responses of more than 50 countries to the 2015 OECD Survey on Open Government Co-ordination and Citizen Participation in the Policy Cycle, as well as on the findings of the OECD Open Government Reviews. In addition to all OECD countries which answered to the Survey, thirteen countries from Latin America (including the two OECD member countries Chile and Mexico) submitted their answers, as well Indonesia, Jordan, Lithuania, Morocco, Philippines, Romania and Tunisia. The global diversity of the responding countries allowed the authors of the Report to draw conclusions on regional differences and provide a solid evidence base for the analysis of open government reforms.

  • An Assessment of Open Government Data Benchmark Instruments
    An Assessment of Open Government Data Benchmark Instruments Ilka Kawashita*, Ana Alice Baptista**, Delfina Soares*** *University of Phoenix, USA, [email protected] **University of Minho, Portugal, [email protected] ***United Nations University (UNU-EGOV), Portugal, [email protected] Abstract: Open Government Data (OGD) is heralded as a pillar for promoting openness and e- Government. Several OGD benchmark instruments have been proposed, and so many options could confuse open data users. We intend to help practitioners and researchers decide which benchmark instrument is most appropriate to evaluate a specific purpose. We aim to investigate the different dimensions that OGD benchmarks evaluate to discover what aspects of publishing and using open data they measure. To achieve this goal, we built upon previous research on how the Open Data Charter principles are measured in OGD assessments and enriched the analysis with additional dimensions. Findings reveal that what differentiates these benchmark instruments is their scope or focus, as their creators have varying interests and objectives. All benchmark instruments measure "data openness"; however, each emphasizes different aspects of "openness." Concepts measured are deeply connected with the six Charter principles. OGD impact, use, and usefulness are addressed by half of the benchmark instruments. Measurements can be compared. Their assessments can be used to help improve data quality and the conditions for sharing and reusing OGD. Keywords: e-Government, Open Data, Open Government Data, Benchmark, Assessment 1. Introduction Governments produce, collect, maintain, and disseminate significant amounts of data (Kalampokis et al., 2011). Thus, data are the driver of the digital transformation as government transitions to e- Government (Attard et al., 2016).
