Following hours of laborious searching you find a defined outline of the methods, costing you valuable research time. This is just one of many practical difficulties presented by a lack of Openness in scientific publishing, and consequently has opened the door for a transition towards Open Science, a more collaborative approach with publishers and researchers working together.</p>

This is a common barrier encountered by the general public as well as academics. Increasingly, many journal publications are offering all or portions of their content as open-access articles. In the United Kingdom, some scientific papers are already accessible online, free of charge. This number will soon greatly increase as the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has declared that all research conducted with its grant funding must be published as open access.</p>

This year, due to the COVID 19 pandemic, they will be held in a digital format. It is aimed at all those who are intensively involved with the possibilities, conditions and perspectives of scientific publishing. This includes employees of libraries and other institutions of the scientific infrastructure and publishers as well as scientists and members of the scientific administration.</p>

A series of necessary, but ambitious environmental targets have been set by the <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/info/strategy/priorities-2019-2024/european-green-deal/delivering-european-green-deal_en#:~:text=The%20European%20Green%20Deal%20set,2030%2C%20compared%20to%201990%20levels">EU Green Deal</a>, yet these mean reforms are needed across the energy sector, with further research required for us to better understand how to facilitate this change. Therefore, for Europe to achieve these goals, accurate, open-source data is a priority to provide scientists and energy experts with the information needed to protect our planet’s future and accelerate the energy transition.</p>

Digital sequence information must be preserved as common good”, stresses Prof Overmann. </p>

Because it dominates so much of the industry, the oligopoly maintains market power through tentacular economies of scale and control of the publications which libraries must access. This is bad not only for negotiating over price, but also means that the values and practices of the larger publishers are hegemonic in their influence over what publishing should look like. I have <a href="https://www.samuelmoore.org/2020/03/05/how-the-academic-publishing-oligopoly-skews-debates-on-the-cost-of-publishing/">written previously</a> about how this shapes debate around the costs of publishing.</p>
