4. Open Access (OA)
refers to research outputs which are distributed online and free of cost
or other barriers, and possibly with the addition of a Creative
Commons license to promote reuse. Open access can be applied to all
forms of published research output, including peer-reviewed and non
peer-reviewed academic journal articles, conference papers, theses,
book chapters, and monographs. [Wikipedia]

5. Research Data
 Recorded factual material commonly accepted in the scientific community as
necessary to validate research findings."
 Research data covers a broad range of types of information
 and digital data can be structured and stored in a variety of file formats.
 properly managing data (and records) does not necessarily equate to sharing or
publishing that data.
EXAMPLES OF RESEARCH DATA
Some examples of research data:
Documents (text,Word), spreadsheets
Questionnaires, transcripts, codebooks
Audiotapes, videotapes
Photographs, films
Protein or genetic sequences
Spectra
Test responses
Database contents (video, audio, text, images)
Models, algorithms, scripts

7. Open Science at an Institutional level - IRD
1955 : the Library is responsible for preserving and distributing scientific and
technical documentation related to institutional's activities"
Objective and Performance Contract (2016-2020) / Action Plan 2016-2030
Contribute to free access to scientific information in developing countries
IRD must step up its actions in favor of the dissemination of scientific
information in open access. It will strengthen the skills and capacities of its
partner institutions in developing countries creation of open repository
digitization of scientific document collections…
Strengthen the visibility of infrastructures and facilitate access of scientific
data to research actors
Since 2015 : creation of the mission MIDN (Mission for Digital Data Infrastructure)

As a signatory of the "OpenArchives Partnership
Agreement and the national HAL platform", the
ANR relies on Article 30 of the law "For a Digital
Republic“ and National Plan and recommends that
all consecutive publications the projects it
finances, will be deposited in
• Full text in an open repository, directly in
HAL or through a local institutional archive.
• 2019 Mandate for Data management plan
(action plan 2019)
• S Coalition or S Plan, 11 national funders in
2020 will fund publication in OA journals

11. 1- Generalizing Open Access to publications
Roadmap
–Make open access mandatory when publishing articles and books
resulting from government-funded calls for projects.
–Create an Open Science fund
Investing in open publishing systems that remain under the control of
the scientific community
In line with the Appel de Jussieu
preprints, short-format manuscripts, data articles, open peer
review, etc.
–Support the HAL national open repository
compliant with the Article 30 of the law "For a Digital Republic. 7
October 2016 . Any version of the author’s manuscript
Maximum of 6 month (STM), 12 months (SSH) embargo
–Assessment based upon quality, not quantity – explicit
reference to the San Francisco Declaration on Research
Assessment (DORA) https://sfdora.org/

• Development of innovative scientific publishing models :
preprints, open review ….
• Research evaluation system should be adapted
OLInFER'2018. IRD Open Scienxe, nov 2018

13. 2- Structure research data and make it
available through Open Access
Roadmap
–Make open access dissemination mandatory for research data resulting from
government-funded projects.
–Create the position of Chief Data Officer and the corresponding network within
the relevant institutions.
–Create the conditions for and promote the adoption of an Open Data policy for
scholarly papers.
Additional priorities
–ANR FLASH call for project to accelerate the opening of research data access in
France
–Create a research data award for outstanding teams and projects in this field
–Support the Research Data Alliance (RDA) and Software Heritage, the source code
library.

Also a support for Data management Plan
Issues
 Visibility
 Preservation
 Good practices in data management
 Connect the data repository with research information systems and Horizon
 To have an idea of our data production
 Enhance accessiblity of our data to south countries
 Be a support of open science initiatives with partners in southern countries (technical
help, training)

20. Conclusion
20
 Various levels of policies : IRD, Funders, National Plan for Open
Science, International that are a good background to move
towards open science.
 All french institutions are « at the same level » with the national
plan
 IRD will promote open science model with equity for South
countries
How to transform policies into actions ?
o Use of national or european Infrastructures
o Collaboration, pooling of ressources with other institutions
o Exchanges with researchers, decision makers and computing
o Research Assement should take into account Open Science.
o Librarians are playing an important role for Research data management :
advocacy, training, etc… OLInFER'2018. IRD Open Scienxe, nov 2018
