<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Dear Sir, dear
Madam,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">The public
consultation on scientific information in the digital age, which
was recently undertaken by the European Commission, spurred
great interest among a variety of stakeholders, with 1140
responses received from 42 countries. Respondents identified <b>a
strong need for better access to scientific publications and
scientific data in Europe</b>. <b>90 % of respondents
supported the idea that publications resulting from publicly
funded research should as a matter of principle be in open
access (OA) mode and that data from publicly funded research
should be available for reuse free of charge on the internet.</b>
Furthermore, 83 % called for policy formulation at the EU level
and 86 % agreed on the development of an EU network of
repositories. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Asked about <b>barriers
to accessing scientific publications</b> the high price of
journals/subscriptions (89%) and the limited budget of libraries
(85 %) were identified as key issues. The main barriers to
access <b>research data</b> were identified as lack of funding
to develop and maintain the necessary infrastructures (80 %);
the insufficient credit given to researchers for making research
data available (80 %); insufficient national/regional
strategies/policies (79 %) as well as the lack of incentives for
researchers (76.4%).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Self-archiving
(‘green OA’) or a combination of self-archiving and OA
publishing (‘gold OA’) were identified as the preferred ways for
increasing the number and share of scientific publications
available in OA mode. The majority (56% of respondents) prefer
an embargo period (that is the period of time during which a
publication is not yet open access) of 6 months. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Finally
respondents were also concerned that the preservation of
scientific information is currently insufficiently addressed.<o:p></o:p></p>
