DAY
EPFL Library
Forum Rolex, 10 am – 6 pm

CONCLUDING REMARKS• Open does not mean «free»: not always clear to authors• Complexity: different models, not always transparent.
More advocacy needed• APC: what are fair APC? How are they calculated?• Open access and rigorous peer-reviewing are fully
compatible• Research evaluation still strongly relies on impact
factor : a barrier for Open access development?• Are there other evaluation systems ? see ERC• Open access not only concerns article distribution:
services, data, networking …
CONCLUDING REMARKS
• Lots of guidelines, but nothing binding: need to establish mandatory policies?
• Open peer-reviewing has (at least) 2 benefits Increased submission qualityMore constructive peer-reviewing process
• Open access initiatives are often launched by researchers, but still not fully understood by the research community
CONCLUDING REMARKS
We are in a transition period: where are we going and how long
will it take… and cost?These questions remain OPEN!
