EIFL welcomes adoption of Guidelines for Open Access to Research Results in Lithuania

The Research Council of Lithuania adopted Guidelines for Open Access to Research Results on 29th February 2016. The Guidelines include open access (OA) and open research data policy that are fully aligned with the Horizon 2020 (H2020) OA mandate and Open Research Data Pilot, and the July 2012 European Commission recommendations on access to and preservation of scientific information. The newly-adopted Guidelines are based on a strong OA tradition in Lithuania and on current good practices in Europe.
