The draft for a policy component on open access to anthologies and monographs is open for a second round of comments 5.8.–13.9.2024.
The policy component on open access to collections and individual works has been under development for a few years, and the first draft version was opened for comments in early 2022. The working group has then refined the draft in response to the comments and considering national and international developments.
The policy component is part of the Policy on Open Access to Scholarly Publications, whose first sub-policy on journal and conference articles was published in 2019. The policy also includes a component on open access to theses (2024), which was developed in collaboration with the Expert Panel on Open Education.
Comment via online form
The draft will be open for comments from the entire research community 5.8.–13.9.2024. The comments will be collected through an online form.
The draft policy component is available in three languages:
In the spirit of open science, all non-anonymous comments will be collected and shared on a public platform. Anonymous comments will not be considered nor published.
The request for comments has been sent out to higher education institutions, student organisations, research institutes, scientific societies, funding organisations as well as scientific libraries and archives. In addition to this, the draft is open for comments from the entire research community, and comments can be submitted either as an organisation or individually.
Once the comment period is over, the working group will work with the Open Science and Research Coordination in Finland to revise the draft. The aim is to adopt the policy in early at the end of the year.
