Ambition: 100% open access publications by 2030
PrintIn its second national plan for open science, France makes a focus on developing open access to publications. The percentage of open access scientific publications in France has risen from 41% to 56%. The Plan accelerates and amplifies the commitment to open access to publications. The effort already initiated by many research funding agencies such as the National Research Agency will be extended. The aim is to increase the visibility of research results in all disciplines, to democratise access to knowledge and to strengthen the international influence of French research. The Plan will promote the circulation of scientific knowledge through the translation of publications, to make scientific advances more accessible to the public and to increase the international influence of research. This plan responds to the European Union’s ambition to have a national plan for open science in every country.
