Open Access: Making research and data free to access and free to use

swirl

Many researchers around the world are now expected to comply with major funders’ open access/open data policies. Funding organizations such as the European Commission, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, DFID, the Wellcome Trust, and USAID all have their own variations of an open access and/or open data policy. Through these policies, researchers are expected to make their research outputs publicly accessible and re-usable with minimal restrictions within a set timeline.

Research institutes, colleges and universities, and private sector companies involved in research are all impacted by open access/open data policies.

At FireOak Strategies, we can help organizations develop and implement their own open access/open data strategies. That includes helping organizations write and adopt organization-specific policies, navigate tricky compliance issues, support change management initiatives, and develop or refine internal open access/open data operations. We work with organizations to understand your needs and deliver practical real-world solutions.

  • Information/Data Governance
