Data Management Plans and Open Access in Horizon 2020: the policy context Victoria Tsoukala & Alea Lopez de San Roman DG RTD A.2 Research Executive Agency – Brussels, 17 September 2018
Who are we? A policy maker • We propose EU legislation • We legislate with other Community institutions (European Parliament, Council...) • We invite Member States to act A funding agency • We set our own rules for EC-funded scientific research and innovation A capacity builder • We fund projects that support our policy
In other words: Horizon 2020 is not happening in isolation from other initiatives • in Europe • world-wide Coherence is key!
The policy context: Open Science The nature of science (modus operandi) is changing from a closed system to an open and sharing one • It affects virtually all components of doing science and research • It shifts in particular the focus from "publishing as fast as possible" to "sharing knowledge as early as possible" Illustration: Ron Dekker, CESSDA
How to describe Open Science? There are many definitions but maybe Open Science is: • A system of practices that moves towards a more open, collaborative, data-intensive and networked way of doing research and sharing research results, enabled by developments in ICT and related infrastructures and the increasing proliferation of data. Or Open Science is: • Just science done right! • Excellent science! Stickers: Melanie Himming, ImmingImpact
Why is Open Science so important? It's good for science: efficiency, verifiability, transparency, inter-disciplinarity It's good for the economy: access to and re-use of scientific information by industry, innovation It's good for society: broader, faster, transparent & equal access for citizens, increased societal impact of science and research Open Science is irreversible and is not happening in isolation
One example of the gains arising from open research data 1.3 Billion EUR per year • Benefits identified by the European Bioinformatics Institute to users and their funders just by making scientific information freely available to the global life science community This is equivalent to more than 20 times the direct operational cost of the Institute Source: Charles Beagrie Ltd. For EMBL-EBI
Open Science starts with open access Open access = the practice of providing on-line access to scientific information that is free of charge to the user and that is re-usable No single definition but some well-accepted, authoritative ones e.g. the Budapest Declaration (2002) and the Berlin Declaration (2003). • These definitions describe 'access' in the context of open access as including not only basic elements such as the right to read, download and print, but also the right to copy, distribute, search, link, crawl, and mine Open access to research outputs: publications, data, software and other outputs For publications: • Open access publishing, i.e. publishing in an open access mode/venue (Gold OA) • Making accessible through archiving in repositories (Green OA)
Scientific publications in H2020 (Art. 29.2) Mandatory open access to peer-reviewed publications through repositories at the same time as publication • What to do? Publish, deposit and open access! Or publish in open access and deposit with link to the oa publication (deposit and open access mandatory in all cases) • Acceptable embargo: 6M and up to 12M for SSH • Open access publishing encouraged and APCs eligible costs • Gradual emphasis on monitoring and on 'sanctions' • Current success rate: about 70%
Research data in H2020 (Art. 29.3) a.k.a. the Open Research Data Pilot (ORD) Not so much a pilot any more! By default in! • unless exception in WP Addresses two things at once • Open access access to research data- as open as possible, as closed as necessary! • (Opt outs options for IPR, confidentiality/privacy and security reason as well as if OA runs against the main objective of the project). Opt-out does not affect evaluation. • Targeted primarily towards data underlying publications (other data as specified in Data Management Plan • Streamlining Research Data Management (RDM) as a standard practice through Data Management Plans (DMPs)- required as deliverable Costs for open access to research data fully eligible
Research data: what terminology? FAIR: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable In Horizon 2020 the policy mainly addresses the 'accessibility' part of FAIR • Started off with 'open access to research data' • Moved towards 'open (research) data' with the ORD pilot (which also covered further aspects) • We are now seeing openness as one component of FAIR data and aim to address all of the FAIR aspects in Horizon 2020 Horizon Europe will be clearer 
The evolution of the EU funding programmes for R&I FP7 OA Pilot Deposit and open access H2020 OA Mandatory Deposit and open access & ORD/DMP Pilot H2020 OA Mandatory Deposit and open access & ORD/DMP by default (opt-out) Horizon Europe OA Mandatory Deposit and open access DMP + FAIR data Mandatory OD by default (opt-out) & Open Science embedded
Member States support Open Science The Council Conclusions of 26-27 May 2016: • ACKNOWLEDGES that open science has the potential to increase the quality, impact and benefits of science and to accelerate advancement of knowledge by making it […] better understandable by society and responsive to societal challenges […] • AGREES to further promote the mainstreaming of open access to scientific publications by continuing to support a transition to immediate open access as the default by 2020 • Research data: 'as open as possible, as closed as necessary'.
Going together in the same direction Amsterdam Call for Action on Open Science • EU Dutch Presidency conference on Open Science of April 2016 (key principles and goals) • Follow up on its way: national plan on Open Science, various initiatives etc. Open Science Policy Platform • The EC bringing stakeholders at the same table 2018 Recommendation on scientific information • Technical update from 2012 version • Sharper focus on aspects such as copyright/TDM, rewards, skills etc.
We do more than funding research European Open Science Cloud • A federated environment for cloud-based research and access to data Open research publishing platform • Offer Horizon 2020 beneficiaries a free and fast publication possibility for peer reviewed articles & pre- prints • Proposals from public procurement (spring 2018) currently evaluated
Many challenges ahead Open access to publications • Increasing uptake to 100% • Reinforcing monitoring and incentives/'sanctions' • Hybrid journals and other financial issues (caps, post- grant etc.) Open access and research data • The DMPs! • Mainstreaming FAIR data across the FPs • Stimulating a change in scientific culture
Thank you! European researchers and innovators: with Open Science, the European Commission only wants to give them the best conditions to do their job. REA Project Officers: your role is essential in warning beneficiaries of the open access requirements as early as possible in the process, guiding them all through their journey, redirecting them to other Commission services when necessary, and sharing your experience with other REA and EC services Mail: RTD-open-access@ec.europa.eu Web: ec.europa.eu/research/openscience/ This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License and illustrations are in the public domain (otherwise the origin is mentioned)
