What are the goals of the project?The Alliance of German Scientific Organisations has established a National Open Access Contact Point (OA2020-DE) for Germany as part of the Digital Information initiative. The aim of the project is to create conditions for the large-scale implementation of the open access transformation of scientific journals. This transformation means changing the way electronic journals are distributed: from today’s subscription model towards an open access model in future. This objective overlaps with the DEAL project, which is also supported by the alliance. As part of the international network of national open access contact points, which is currently being established, OA2020-DE cooperates closely with German universities, non-university research institutions, and consortia. | ||
Who is involved in the project?Bielefeld University Library (UB) and the Central Library of Forschungszentrum Jülich (ZB) lead the OA2020-DE project together and are supported by a project group. UB Bielefeld is responsible for conception, communication, and public relations, while ZB is in charge of data collection and bibliometrics. The members of the project group working on content and control of the project activities are representatives of important German scientific institutions. | ||
