[Oa-italia] Da Berlin14 - primi report

[Elena Giglia]

Cari tutti,
si e' appena concluso il convegno Berlin14 - Aligning strategies to enable
Open Access <https://oa2020.org/b14-conference/conference-report/> cui
hanno partecipato 170 delegati da 37 paesi.

Sono stati due giorni intensi ed entusiasmanti per certi versi, vista
l'estrema compattezza dei delegati dei cinque continenti nel chiedere con
fermezza la *fine del sistema di abbonamenti* e la *transizione immediata
all'Open Access*. La sintonia con PlanS (presenti RobertJan Smits e il
presidente di cOAlitionS) non poteva essere più piena.

In questo giocano un ruolo cruciale i contratti nazionali, che non possono
che essere "transformative". Non si può rompere la compattezza del fronte
stabilitosi a Berlino. Gli editori sono fornitori di servizi e quindi le
condizioni del servizio vanno dettate da chi paga, non viceversa.

Ecco la Dichiarazione finale
<https://oa2020.org/b14-conference/final-statement/>:



*We are all committed to authors retaining their copyrights, We are all
committed to complete and immediate open access, We are all committed to
accelerating the progress of open access through transformative agreements
that are temporary and transitional, with a shift to full open access
within a very few years. These agreements should, at least initially, be
cost-neutral, with the expectation that economic adjustments will follow as
the markets transform.*

*Publishers are expected to work with all members of the global research
community to effect complete and immediate open access according to this
statement.*
In attesa di un report ragionato da parte di noi che abbiamo partecipato,
vi segnalo il comunicato stampa della Max Planck
https://www.mpg.de/12553198/14th-berlin-open-access-conference/

In his welcoming address, Max Planck Society President Martin Stratmann
captured the spirit of the meeting when he stated: 'Open Access is the
responsibility of all of us'.
The conference brought to light strong consensus and alignment among the
diverse international communities represented around the necessity of *stepping
up efforts to move away from the subscription-based system of scholarly
publishing to open access-based business models*. A major focus was placed
on *transformative agreements* (eg “read and publish”), which were
identified as perhaps the most viable instrument at the moment to
accelerate the transition to open access. As it became clear from
statements made by representatives from Japan, the United States, South
Africa and others, that readiness to adopt this approach is now extending
beyond Europe, where it originated, and is currently being adopted in
several countries; in particular, this was emphasized in a bold statement
from China, the nation with the largest share of research publications.
