Bringing together senior policymakers and stakeholders, this conference examined progress with the process of opening up access to research outputs, and the further push to apply the same principles to research data.
Delegates discussed remaining challenges identified in the latest report from the Government’s UK Open Access Co-ordination Group - including how to apply Open Access to monographs, the management of repositories and their future role, and the level of Article Processing Charges, as well as the future of the academic publishing market more widely.
Sessions also examined the legal, ethical and logistical implications of delivering an ‘Open Data’ framework for publicly funded research in the UK, in light of the published Concordat on Open Research Data, as well as looking at issues for UK plans working in coordination with European Union proposals following the referendum result.
Those who attended include representatives from universities and their mission groups, research-intensive businesses and their trade associations, academic publishers, learned societies, research councils and other research funders.
