As such, we routinely contact project coordinators or research officers on behalf of OpenAIRE. The relationship makes sense, because Jisc works on digital infrastructures across the country, and we supply HEI with the Janet Network, as well as a host of <a href="https://www.jisc.ac.uk/content/open-access">open access/open science services</a>. In some instances, however,coordinators have not been cascading down the information we’ve sent to others who are involved in the various projects.</p>
<p>There is one particular Open Access obligation for all Horizon2020 projects that takes priority over many of the others:</p>
<p><em>Open Access Mandate: All H2020 projects must provide open access (OA) to all peer-reviewed scientific publications that stem from project activities, immediately or otherwise within 6/12 months of publication where publisher embargoes apply. Non-compliance can lead to a grant reduction and potential sanctions...."</em></p>

In the last year or so, however, we have begun to look again at what we can offer, particularly in the context of drivers such as open access policies, the Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF), and the increasing influence of various rankings and metrics.</span></p>

<p>Science Europe’s Plan S has been viewed as a somewhat revolutionary move after years of frustration at the rate of progress in open access. At Jisc, our response to the announcement was a positive one – we need to remove hurdles for the research community and engage the public in the groundbreaking, publicly funded work that takes place at our universities.</p>
<p>We are particularly pleased that the national research funding organisations signing up to Plan S have focused on establishing robust criteria for high-quality OA journals and platforms, support for OA infrastructure and monitoring compliance. These have been areas of Jisc’s work for some time.</p>
<p>We should note that a vital part of the infrastructure is in place. The global repository network, which has been painstakingly built over the past 15 years, has become a staggeringly bountiful source of freely available research.</p>
<p>The discovery service Core shows more than 11 million full-text articles from repositories and elsewhere. Plan S will give these a dramatic boost...."</p>
