Policy component for open access to journal and conference articles
The policy will take effect on 1 January 2020. The strategic objectives call for immediate implementation of the actions. However, the planned achievement date for several objectives is in 2022 or later.
Definitions
The policy for journal articles and conference publications concerns Finnish and international peer-reviewed scientific journal articles and conference publications (Ministry of Education and Culture publication type classification A, excluding A3), which are sent to a publisher for consideration on or after 1 January 2022, and
- in which all the authors work at or are affiliated with a Finnish research organisation[1] or the authors are funded by a Finnish research funder[2]
or
- in which the corresponding author3 works at or is affiliated with a Finnish research organisation or is funded by a Finnish research funder.4
In this policy, “researcher” refers to a researcher employed or affiliated with a Finnish research organisation or one conducting research funded by a Finnish research funder.
“Immediate open access” refers to the publishing of a peer-reviewed5 version of an article as an open access document in the publisher’s channel or using a repository route provided by the researcher’s/research organisation without any embargoes placed by the publisher. Immediate open access does not directly address the rights to reuse research data in publications, as these are defined separately.
