Some European countries are trying to make progress, but unfortunately, the solution they advocate often revolves around agreements like the big deal, publish & read, read and publish, etc. These countries want the national license to include free circulation of articles published by national authors.
Certains pays européens tentent en effet de faire bouger les lignes. Malheureusement, la solution qu’ils préconisent tourne souvent autour des ententes de type OA big deal, publish&read, read&publish, etc. Ces pays visent que la licence nationale inclut une diffusion libre des articles publiés par les auteurs nationaux.
In Europe, where publisher negotiations are often done at the national rather than the institutional level, universities are pushing for scholarly journals to become open access, in part due to the E.U.’s mandate to make all scientific articles freely available by 2020.
En Europe, où les négociations d’éditeurs se font souvent au niveau national plutôt qu’institutionnel, les universités font pression pour que les revues savantes deviennent libre accès, en partie grâce au mandat de l’UE de rendre tous les articles scientifiques disponibles gratuitement d’ici 2020.
Open government indicates that citizens have access to the publications, records and data of the government, in order to enable the public to observe government activity and for the government to be open to public scrutiny. Often associated with transparency and accountability, open government is widely considered to be a hallmark of the modern democracy. Open government also allows for more effective dissemination of information, which facilitates a higher level of civic engagement.
