Summary:
From Google's English:
"The European Commission proposes to fund an Open Research Publishing Platform open source publishing platform . Its main objective is to provide Horizon 2020 beneficiaries with the possibility of free and rapid publication of peer-reviewed articles, as well as pre-publications from research projects funded under H2020. This platform reinforces and complements Horizon 2020's open access policy by reconciling obligations and incentives. Its implementation will go through a totally transparent public procurement process, as this action is already included in the 2018-2020 Work Program. The contract will have an initial term of 4 years. The platform will explore open peer review , new metrics and access to prepublications. The deposit will be on a voluntary basis. The Commission is following the lead of other funders such as the Wellcome Trust and the Gates Foundation."
