Ricerca: Capua, presto legge su open access dati scientifici

"Along with other MPs have decided to bring forward as 'soon a bill that imposes in the public research sector, the concept of advertising' data and scientific results." This was said in Rome during the Open Science, an event dedicated to innovation and to the memory of Rita Levi Montalcini, Ilaria Capua deputy elected on the lists of Choice Civica. Capua, and that 'scientist became famous worldwide for his research in the field of molecular analysis of avian influenza virus, in the course of his career' was the protagonist of an important innovation ... 'being the first scientist to publish in an open access database with the genetic sequence of the avian influenza virus causing thing 'a more' rapid response of the whole community 'scientific against this threat to public health.' 'This choice, which then look like I 'of absolute good sense, it triggered - said Capua - a positive process that has allowed us to accelerate and multiply scientific efforts worldwide and had worldwide resonance. Now that you have decided to participate actively in politics I think it is important to transfer this experience in Italy.'  'The bill to which Capua, together with Stefano Quintarelli, is thinking ... consists of only two items. The first article imposes an obligation on the part of those responsible for research projects financed with public funds to publish the results achieved in journals with public access. The second article is concerned the obligation to publish on web platforms of scientific and financial statements of the research projects funded with public resources. 'Until today - explained Capua - these reports were written knowing that it would end up locked in the drawers of public administration who had commissioned the research. I think it's fair that the public has a right to access this data.' (AGI)."
