[Irtalk] Tasman Declaration - Open Research

[Hilton Gibson]

Publicly funded research should be openly available to maximise return on
investments into research, and to increase participation in research and
its translation beyond the traditional research sector.

"Open Research" is about removing barriers for society to benefit from
research, by ensuring open access to and reuse of research papers, data,
materials, metadata and code, and by developing the supporting practices
and policies.

In the absence of a good reason, research outputs should be made available
with as few restrictions as possible and as soon as possible.
