[IRTalk] All publications produced in Swiss National Science Foundation-funded projects are to be OA as of 2020

[Ina Smith]

Based on a decision by the National Research Council, all publications produced in SNSF-funded projects are to be freely available in digital format as of 2020.

"Research findings funded by public money are a public good," says Matthias Egger, the President of the National Research Council. Open Access is quickly becoming the accepted standard in science. Until now, less than 50% of the publications produced in SNSF-funded research have met this requirement. But as of 2020, the SNSF will expect all pub-lications (100%) to be available free of charge in digital format.
