Abstract

This presentation looks at Open Access to Publications, Research Data Management and the Science 2.0 (Open Science) agendas in Europe. It analyses the current British policy position on Open Access to publications and looks at the costs of these approaches. In terms of Research Data Management, the presentation looks at UCL’s new EU-funded LEARN project and the implications of the new Hague Declaration on Knowledge Discovery in the Digital Age. The paper argues that facts and data should not be constrained by copyright or other IPR legislation, since such legislation was designed to cover the expression of such ideas and facts, not the data themselves. The final part of the presentation looks at the European Commission’s agenda for Science 2.0 (Open Science) and looks at how libraries might embrace aspects of bibliometric analysis and the principles of the new Leiden Manifesto. The role of the Library as publisher is also explored. The presentation concludes by underlining that the challenges of Open Access to publications, Research Data Management and Open Science present real opportunities for research libraries to assume a vital role in the research landscape.
