Stockholm University: Open access in life sciences on the rise | Science|Business

"90 percent of the articles from SciLifeLab in 2023 were published open access. There are obvious advantages in publishing open access, according to Christopher Erdmann, head of open science at SciLifeLab.

Open science is an important and integrated part of SciLifeLab, the national research infrastructure for molecular biosciences in Sweden. The SciLifeLab Data Centre is located at Uppsala University, serving the entirety of SciLifeLab. Some of the staff at the Data Centre are distributed at other of the SciLifeLab sites, like the one in Stockholm hosted by Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology. There are roughly 40-50 people working at the Data Centre with open science/data in some shape. For instance, there is a team of data stewards that collaborate with National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden (NBIS) to provide data management services, IT/software developers maintaining and implementing data driven services to support the research in our community, and staff supporting data science at the various SciLifeLab nodes."
