Public Consultation on the Policy on Open Access to Scientific Publications Resulting from Research Funded by FCT
until May 22, 2023
Scientific progress depends to a large extent on the free flow of scientific research results. Open access to scientific publications is one of the tools for achieving this result, and it is even more important when the publications are the result of public funding.
The commitment to open access has led FCT to join Plan S, promoted by cOAlition S, which advocates that all publications resulting from funding from its members be made available in open access, either through their publication in open access journals or platforms, through their publication in hybrid journals under transformative agreements or, finally, through their deposit in open access repositories, without being subject to embargo periods.
FCT is now reflecting the commitment to open science it made when it joined Plan S in a new Open Access Policy, which is now out for public consultation.
Contributions should be sent to cp-politica-aa@rcaap.pt by May 22, 2023.
