L'université de Lausanne signe la Déclaration de Berlin et DORA (The University of Lausanne signs the Berlin Declaration and DORA)

From Google's English:

"With the momentum generated by the new national strategy on Open Access comes the question of UNIL's accession to the Berlin Declaration (2003) on free access to the world's scientific literature and corresponding data; and DORA (San Francisco Declaration on Research Evaluation), which aims to remove the automatic correlation between the impact factor of a scientific journal and the intrinsic quality of a scientist's contribution.

The Berlin Declaration on Free Access to Knowledge in the Exact Sciences, Life Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences is a text whose content was defined at a congress held at the Max-Planck Society in Berlin in 2003. The signatories are calling for the availability of open access to the world's scientific literature and all the data and software that produced this knowledge. This document is considered one of the founding documents of Open Access.

The  San Francisco Declaration on Research Evaluation (DORA) is a statement that calls into question the increasing use of bibliometric classification as an index in the service of the evaluation of research or researchers. DORA's main challenge is to end the practice of correlating the impact factor of a scientific journal with the quality of a scientist's contribution.

UNIL membership of these founding texts would facilitate the implementation of its future Open Access Directive."
