In publishing agreements, authors agree for example on copyright issues and terms for open access publishing.
Research funders want to promote open science and research, which is why they set requirements for the openness of research publications and data they are funding. European Commission (EC) and Research Council of Finland (former Academy of Finland) are participating in the open access initiative Plan S, which affects the open access and open data requirements in calls starting in 2021.
Plan S is an open access initiative launched by the EU Commission and Science Europe.
Open access ensures that scientific publications are accessible to everyone free of charge.
