The Center for Biomedical Research Transparency (CBMRT<\/a>) hosted the second of three webinars last week, continuing the virtual sessions forming this year\u2019s Biomedical Transparency Summit series<\/a>. The webinar, entitled \u2018Open access \u2013 developments across the globe<\/em>\u2019, included presentations from Professor Johan Rooryck<\/a> (cOAlition S<\/a>) and Professor Ginny Barbour<\/a> (Australasian Open Access Strategy Group [AOASG<\/a>]).<\/p>\n Professor Rooryck spoke about Plan S, an open access (OA) initiative requiring that publications arising from research funded by cOAlition S organisations are published OA, aiming to make all scholarly publications available to the largest possible audience worldwide. He provided an overview of the three potential routes<\/a> for compliance with Plan S:<\/p>\n Professor Barbour described how COVID-19 has been a catalyst for greater adoption of open science globally, but noted that there was a need for more diverse approaches as this move has not been supported by all sectors. She highlighted large, international efforts from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO<\/a>) and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC<\/a>), in addition to Plan S, that aim to promote open science, but described how national strategies were essential to drive locally relevant approaches. Professor Barbour discussed the major challenges to developing national approaches, emphasising that both high-level (ie governmental) support plus consultation and engagement with all sectors were required. She presented an update on new and ongoing OA initiatives and policies in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Japan, and Indonesia.<\/p>\n A panel discussion, facilitated by Katie Steen<\/a> (Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition)<\/a> and Dr Nick Campbell<\/a> (Springer Nature<\/a>), concluded the webinar.<\/p>\n Further topics raised during the webinar included:<\/p>\n Feel free to explore the recording<\/a> or slides from Professor Rooryck\u2019s presentation<\/a> and Professor Barbour\u2019s presentation<\/a> yourself.\u00a0You can also read our summaries of the first<\/a> and third<\/a> webinars in the series.<\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2013<\/p>\n Summary by\u00a0Alice Wareham PhD<\/a>, CMPP\u00a0from\u00a0Aspire Scientific<\/a><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Find out more about what was covered during the second 2021 webinar from the Center for Biomedical Research Transparency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8370,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"Find out more about what was covered during the second 2021 webinar from the Center for Biomedical Research Transparency.","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Open access across the globe: our summary of the second Biomedical Transparency Summit series webinar #openaccess @CBMRT_org @JohanRooryck @GinnyBarbour #PubPlan","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_publicize_connection_overrides":[],"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[24853,16950752,5784],"tags":[343162496,343162528,343162493],"class_list":["post-8362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-open-access","category-data-transparency","category-event","tag-interoperable-infrastructure","tag-open-access-mandates","tag-plan-s","post-has-thumbnail"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thepublicationplan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/open-access-across-the-globe-thumbnail.jpg?fit=1254%2C836&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5Yk5l-2aS","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepublicationplan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8362","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepublicationplan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepublicationplan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepublicationplan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepublicationplan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8362"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/thepublicationplan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8362\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8449,"href":"https:\/\/thepublicationplan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8362\/revisions\/8449"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepublicationplan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8370"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepublicationplan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepublicationplan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepublicationplan.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
