According to the Registry of Open Access Repository Mandates and Policies (ROARMAP) only 8 research institutions from the Republic of Moldova (12%) approved an Open Access Policy (OAP). All these institutions are universities and none is a research institute or research funder, although research and development activities in the Republic of Moldova are funded basically from the state budget. The paper contains analysis of the situation regarding Open Access Institutional Policies in the Republic of Moldova. Results of a study regarding the attitude of Moldovan academia to open access to research outputs and identified problems on this issue are presented in this work. Emphasis is given to tools and information systems like Institutional Repositories (IRs) that promote open access for research outputs. The paper reveals the barriers for adoption and / or implementation of an open access policy in a research organization and provides ways for their overcoming.

The open access movement has come a long way since its origins at the end of the 1990s but we still haven’t achieved the tipping point to make the open access approach, the normal approach. Why are initiatives such as Plan S needed and why did the World Health Organization feel it necessary to join? This talk will draw on experiences at Wellcome Trust and WHO, implementing the first open access policy for a European Research funder, creating Europe PubMed Central and developing a policy that works for a United Nations agency. Robert will outline why achieving open access requires addressing barriers across political, technical and cultural barriers – with perhaps the culture of research assessment and reward needing the biggest change if we are to truly democratise science so that the people who pay for the research, the taxpayers, can access, read and use the research.

Dieser Beitrag fasst die Ergebnisse der 2. OANA-Veranstaltung am 21.01.2015 im Palais Harrach in Wien zusammen. Das „Open Access Network Austria“ (OANA) ist eine „joint activity“ unter dem organisatorischen Dach des Fonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung (FWF) und der Österreichischen Universitätenkonferenz (UNIKO) mit dem Ziel Open Access Aktivitäten in der österreichischen Forschungslandschaft zu koordinieren. Nach einer ersten OANA-Informationsveranstaltung im November 2013 wurden fünf Arbeitsgruppen zu folgenden Themen gebildet: Open Access Policy, Finanzierung von Open Access, Rechtliche und politische Rahmenbedingungen, Publikationsmodelle und Einbindung von WissenschafterInnen. Im Rahmen der zweiten Informationsveranstaltung wurden die Ergebnisse bzw. Fortschritte der fünf Arbeitsgruppen präsentiert. Mit der Weiterführung von OANA sollen zukünftig einige der genannten Bereiche vertieft sowie um neue Themenfelder ergänzt werden.
