Summary:

[From Google translate] Transparent Transition to Open Access

The European Commission (EC) has recently opened a call for the establishment of an "Open Research Europe Publication Platform" in order to achieve the objective of 100% open access by 2020. 

The Consortium TTOA (Transparent Transition to Open Access), an initiative of the Fair Open Access Alliance that includes "native" open access publishers such as PLoS, Open Edition..., traditional publishers and open access publishers that do not charge authors, has chosen not to participate in the call and has instead proposed a different approach to managing the transition to full open access while maintaining all the features specified in the EC call that they are:

 

The platform must be open source;

The costs of publishing each article should be transparent;

Authors should be exempt from any charges/costs;

All content published on the platform should be immediately and freely accessible to all;

The platform should be able to complement the publication of research results sponsored by other funders.
