13. Enabling Open Scholarship Scientific data “Our vision is a scientific e-infrastructure that supports seamless access, use, re-use and trust of data. In a sense … the data themselves become an infrastructure – a valuable asset on which science, technology, the economy and society can advance.” (Neelie Kroes) H2020 has a proposed DATA PILOT

14. Enabling Open Scholarship Research Councils UK (RCUK) Authors must use ‘RCUK-compliant’ journals: Offer a Gold option, or Where a journal does not offer Gold it must offer the Green option with an embargo of <6 months Or both Gold and Green (author can choose either option)

15. Enabling Open Scholarship Perverse consequences Subscription journals lengthen their embargoes to >6 months Subscription journals offer a Gold option = hybrid journals UK authors must pay for this No upper limit on APCs Funds will be given from RCUK to universities to administer... This is NOT a policy for others to follow!
