The MIT Press Looks at How to Move Forward With OA Policies
The MIT Press published “comprehensive report that addresses how open access policies shape research and what is needed to maximize their positive impact on the research ecosystem.”“Access to Science & Scholarship 2024: Building an Evidence Base to Support the Future of Open Research Policy” comes from a National Science Foundation-funded workshop held in September. “While open access aims to democratize knowledge, its implementation has been a factor in the consolidation of the academic publishing industry, an explosion in published articles with inconsistent review and quality control, and new costs that may be hard for researchers and universities to bear, with less affluent schools and regions facing the greatest risk. The workshop examined how open access and other open science policies may affect research and researchers in the future, how to measure their impact, and how to address emerging challenges,” the MIT Press shares.
