Description
Summary:A discussion on SPARC Europe's report Opening Knowledge: Retaining Rights and Open Licensing in Europe (made public via Zenodo, 28 June 2023). Three of the authors of the report share their thoughts on why the landscape differs so much between countries. Questions include why so many institutions in the United Kingdom and Norway stand out as early adopters, whereas other countries have yet to start implementing Rights Retention Policies, be it a national or institutional level. Various outreach and dissemination activities are on-going, and there appears to be promising developments in several European countries that might radically change the landscape for open licensing and self-archiving across Europe, thereby speeding up the transformation towards full open access to the scholarly record. The recording was made in conjunction with the 18th Munin Conference on Scholarly Publishing in Tromsø, November 2023. First published online: January 23, 2024.
