Coordination office for scientific information (COSI), 2021ff.:
vision and mission
11Gabi Schneider, October 11, 2018
swissuniversities members can count on COSI to support the development of
coordinated scientific information strategies.
( Analysis, recommendations, guidelines, policies)
COSI will also manage for them a dynamic and sustainable portfolio of shared
services and infrastructures and promote the relationships between the
providers and customers of these services.
( Service management support, distribution, quality control, interoperability)

Why Open Access?
Two main reasons:
1. Access
2. Market control
Underlying principle: publicly funded research should be as as accessible (obtainable,
affordable) as possible.

Shared Infrastructures for Open Science
• By 2024, all scholarly publication activities in Switzerland should be Open Access,
all scholarly publications funded by public money must be freely accessible on the
internet.
• The Open Access landscape will consist of a mix of OA models (green, gold,
hybrid)
• Strong support of alternative business models for publication
Align with European benchmarks
Gabi Schneider, October 11, 2018 14
Swiss national Open Access strategy: the vision
Shared Infrastructures for Open Science
• EU funding: OA mandatory from 2020 (september 2018: ‘Plan S’)
• Austria: OA implementation goal is 2020 (Gold)
• Denmark: OA mandatory in 2022 (Green)
• Netherlands: 60% of publications OA in 2019, 100% Gold in 2024
• Great Britain: Double strategy, Green and/or Gold
• USA: no national strategy, but mandatory funding requirements (e.g. NIH) or White
House regulations (federal funding, e.g. NSF)
Rule of thumb: «As open as possible, as closed as necessary»
(data protection, private partnerships, patents etc.)

An international shift towards Open Access
Shared Infrastructures for Open Science
• A powerful and unified approach
• Support and commitment from research communities
• Achieve cost transparency and cost neutrality
• Ascertain control and diversity of the scientific production process
• Revise the quality assessment system

National Open Access strategy: guiding principles
Shared Infrastructures for Open Science
• December 2015: SERI letter initiating a national OA strategy (goals: promotion of
Open Access, cost transparency, coordination)
• 2016: Elaboration of a strategy, together with the SNSF
• January 2017: swissuniversities adopts the strategy
• 2017: Elaboration of an action plan
• (June 2017: SERI letter asking for an Open Data Stragegy)
• February 2018: swissuniversities adopts the action plan, SHEI approves
Ongoing:
• Implementation of a governance within P-5 (‘Scientific information’)
• 26th October: National Open Access conference (@UniLS)
