trend: Science will open up

Within Science• Better connect between disciplines• Tackling Grand Challenges, UN Millennium GoalsScience connects with Society - and vice versa• Accountability, Impact• Citizen ScienceReproducibility• Results

Open ScienceA systemic change in the modus

operandi of science and research

Affecting the whole research cycle and its stakeholders

Commissioner Carlos MoedasOpen Science Presidency Conference

Amsterdam, 4 April 2016

Open Science - Definition

Michael Nielsen: "Open science is the idea that scientific knowledge of all kinds should be openly shared as early as is practical in the discovery process."

scientific knowledge of all kinds: includes journal articles, data, code, online software tools, questions, ideas, and speculations; anything which can be considered knowledge.as is practical: very often there are other factors (legal, ethical, social, etc) that must be considered.

Amsterdam Call for Action on Open Science

Two important pan-European goals for 2020:1. Full open access for all

scientific publications2. A fundamentally new approach

towards optimal reuse of research data

Flanking Policy3. New assessment, reward and

evaluation systems4. Alignment of policies and

exchange of best practices

Council Conclusions on Open Science

Council Conclusions aligned with A’dam Call for Action and EC Open Science Agenda

• Stress the importance of Open Science

• Open Science Policy Platform and European Open Science Agenda

• Removing barriers and fostering incentives

• Open access to scientific publications

• Optimal reuse of research data

• Follow-up

Lessons Learned (NL Presidency EU)Set goals – and be ambitious!

It’s not about Gold or Green

Make use of / build infrastructuresUniv/RPO’s Repositories and CRIS (bibliography)

Exchange of information and knowledgeIncluding preparation of negotiations

Monitor progress

Lessons Learned (NL Presidency EU)

Seek supportInclusive approach

all stakeholderswork on common language AND mutual trust

Join forces: NL: cooperation by politics, universities, funders

very effective on new agreements with publishersHave clarity on roles!

International: EU, Americas, Asian-Pacific, Africa

• National Policies• Publications: Gold or Green• Data: Pilots, Data Management Plans, Repositories

• Private Funders• Rules AND Tools

• Publishers• Toll Access (subscriptions, copyright)• Hybrid or Gold (APCs)• Have Research Data available

International Dimension

Robust open access policies around the world – not only European

Strong US OA mandate for federally funded research agencies with budget of over 100 million $ (NIH, NSF, …)

Private Funders (Open Research Funding Group)

Strong Green OA mandate in Latin America (SCIELO)Strong OA policies also in Canada, Australia, Japan,

China, Russia, IndiaKey non-state funders also have robust mandates

Wellcome Trust, Gates, Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative

Developments

• Publications• Preprints• Repositories • Wellcome / Gates / EC? Open Research • Platforms for 21st century publishing

• Data• ESFRIs & ERICs• FAIR Data• DMPs become obligatory

Open Access in Horizon 2020

To increase the circulation and exploitation of knowledge, open access to scientific publications should be ensured.

Furthermore, open access to research data resulting from publicly funded research under Horizon 2020 should be promoted,

taking into account constraints pertaining to privacy, national security and intellectual property rights

trend: Data is the new oil

Data itself will become infrastructure• Many stakeholders

Information Society • World’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data

• Economist, May 2017• Data is input and output

and can be re-used• Yochai Benckler,

European Open Science Cloud

European Open Science Cloud is part of Europe´s ambition to support the transition to Open Science and make the most of data-driven science.

Strongly stated need: it's cost-effective, and privacy & IPR-conscious

Virtual environment for all European researchers to store, manage, analyse and re-use data

Federation of existing and emerging data infrastructures

Added value:scale, data-driven science, inter-disciplinary, data - to - knowledge - to - innovation

If projects must have a DMP

A Data Management Plan provides information on:• The data the research will generate• How to ensure its curation, preservation and sustainability

• What parts of that data will be open (and how)

DMP Principles• Start as early as possible• Archive the data incl. metadata

• for at last 10 years, • at a trusted repository (on RFO/RPO list)

• Proper data citation• Proper re-use

• Comply with national law and EU regulations• Comply with Codes of Conduct (per discipline/domain/type of data)

• FAIR principles• Comply with metadata standards

• Social Sciences: DDI• CESSDA Core Metadata 1.0

trend: Platform Revolution

Platforms• Create value by reducing the friction and barriers that

prevent producers and consumers from interacting,and by offering value added services

A platform is based on enabling value-creating interactionsbetween external producers and consumers

CESSDA

Mission• Provide a distributed and sustainable research

infrastructure that enables the research community to conduct high-quality research in the social sciences

Trends• Science will have to open up• Data is the new oil• Platform revolutionVision• Platform to provide seamless access to FAIR social

science research data in a safe & secure way

Stakeholders
