• In a knowledge economy, innovation and the capacity of the system to create and disseminate the latest scientific and technical information are important determinants of prosperity (David and Foray 1995; OECD 1997). 

• One key question is whether there are new opportunities and new models for scholarly publishing that would better serve researchers and better communicate and disseminate research findings (OECD 2005, p14).

• Capacity-building / supporting body:

– Fund digital infrastructures and relevant research and networking activities

The publishing and research communities share the view that increased access to the results of EU-funded research is necessary to maximise their use and impact.

Investigate the effects of the large-scale, systematic deposit by publishers/authors in open access repositories.

Participating publishers will collectively contribute over 200 journals to the project.
