And now here are the 16 OANA recommendations re-ordered by order of priority so that they will actually work! -- SH *(10) [MANDATE AND] Support self-archiving* >From 2016 onward, until complete conversion to Open Access publication (Gold Open Access), *(9) Registration of repositories* By 2018, all research organisations should have publicly accessible and internationally registered repositories. *(15) Monitoring during implementation* A target of 80% (Green and Gold Access) of the total publication output should be achieved by 2020 and 100% Gold Open Access should be achieved by 2025 for all academic publications in Austria. This should be accompanied by a monitoring process of the BMWFW (Federal Ministry of Science, Research and Economy). *(1) Introduce Open Access policy* By 2017, all research and funding organisations financed by public sources should officially adopt and implement their own Open Access Policy and sign the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities. From 2020 onward, the Open Access Policy should be obligatory for all members of the institutions. *(2) Create cost transparency* >From 2016 to 2018, research and funding organisations should provide a comprehensive and transparent overview of the costs of the current publication system. On this basis, a permanent group of experts should be established. One of their tasks will be to coordinate the research and funding organisations by monitoring the costs of publication. *(3) Reorganise publishing contracts* (a) From 2016 onward, license agreements with publishers should be concluded in a manner that the research publications of authors from Austria are automatically published Open Access. (b) All contracts from 2020 onward should include this clause. (c) Contracts and prices should be made public. (d) In their negotiations with publishers, the Austrian Academic Library Consortium (KEMÖ) should be supported by the executives of the research organisations. *(4) Introduce publication funds* By 2018, all research and funding organisations should establish transparent publication funds to cover author fees for Open Access. *(5) Reorganise publication venues* When scholarly publication venues are funded by public resources, the funding conditions should be such that the publication venues can be transformed to Open Access at the latest from 2020 onward. *(6) Merging the publication infrastructure* Until 2020, research policy-makers should provide financial incentives which, by pooling resources, will permit the establishment of inter-institutional publication structures for publishing high-quality international Open Access venues in Austria. *(7) Support international cooperation* >From 2017 onward, all research and funding organisations in Austria should participate jointly in international initiatives that promote high-quality non-commercial publication models and infrastructures. *(8) Provide start-up capital* Public funds – as start-up capital - should be available to commercial providers who want to switch to Open Access or plan new start-ups. This step will enable some providers from Austria to establish themselves on the international market. secondary publishing of quality-tested articles should be actively pursued (Green Open Access). *(11) Offer training programmes* >From 2016 onward, all research organisations should prepare and provide training programmes for Open Access and Open Science. *(12) Acknowledging Open Access / Open Science* >From 2018 onward, Open Access and Open Science activities should always be honoured in the curricula of scholars of all fields, and alternative evaluation systems should be taken into account. *(13) Expand the scope of the copyright reform of 2015* Austrian legislators should modify the copyright law by 2018 so that, independent of the form and place of publication, authors of scholarly publications will have the right to place their publication in a repository and render the original version of their publication freely accessible after a maximum embargo period of 12 months. Furthermore, large bodies of data should be made available for scholarly purposes with no restrictions in terms of search, networking and further use (content mining). *(14) Opening the inventories* All publicly funded archives, museums, libraries and statistical offices should digitise their inventories by 2025, and their collaboration with research organisations should be supported. Previously digitised inventories should be rendered accessible to the public for free and gratuitous use by 2020. *(16) Set targets for Open Science* The strategy presented here should be developed into a full-fledged Open Science strategy from 2017 onward. Its aim should be to provide resources to those persons who wish to integrate the instruments of Open Science into their work processes. > > > Kind regards > > Falk Reckling > > ___________________________________________________________________ > > Falk J.
