Public Consultation on the Policy on open access to scientific publications resulting from FCT-funded research (until 22 May 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 instruments for achieving this result, which is even more important when the publications result from public funding.
The commitment to open access has led FCT to adhere to Plan S, promoted by the cOAlition S, which advocates that all publications that result from funding from its members should be made available in open access, either through their publication in open access journals or platforms, or through their publication in hybrid journals under transformative agreements, or, finally, through their deposit in open access repositories, without being subject to embargo periods.
The FCT is now translating the commitment to open science it has made by joining Plan S into a new Open Access Policy, which is now up for public consultation.
Contributions should be sent to cp-politica-aa@rcaap.pt until May 22, 2023.
