Open Access – Recent Developments<br />
James Milne, Managing Director of RSC Publishing<br />
Open Access in scientifi c publishing is a very topical subject. In the UK, the government recently commissioned<br />
an independent review on ‘expanding access to published research fi ndings’. This engaged<br />
with key stakeholders, including academics, librarians, funders and publishers. Based on their fi ndings,<br />
published 23 July 2012, the main funding agency RCUK announced a revised policy on open access.<br />
The EU has also recently announced their own position on open access. Despite all the positive activities,<br />
there is still a lot of confusion amongst researchers (particularly in the chemical sciences) as to what is<br />
expected of them, and how they can do what is expected!<br />
At this presentation, the RSC will review recent developments and outline where they see the direction<br />
of travel for OA. They will also explain how the RSC, as one of the most progressive scientifi c publishers<br />
of high quality content, will engage with these developments to support the chemical science community<br />
during a period of uncertainty. Following an opening presentation, there will be plenty of time<br />
for discussion amongst participants. As a hot topic of great relevance to all researchers, this session will<br />
be of interest to many delegates at <strong>EuCheMS</strong>.<br />
