Assessing Readiness for Open Access Policy Implementation across Europe

In August, PASTEUR4OA (Open Access Policy Alignment Strategies for European Union Research) published the report Assessing Readiness for Open Access Policy Implementation across Europe. This report presents a European-wide case study for assessing EU Member State’s readiness for Open Access policy implementation – and specifically for the European Commission H2020 policy. Aspects like the availability of OA infrastructure, the awareness of OA and the availability of harmonised working procedures and coordination mechanisms are analysed, providing the means to assess the situation of specific countries.
