Abstract

Open access (OA) has become a critical issue in science policy and affects a wide range of activities in universities and research labs. Research-performing organizations (RPOs), defined as publicly funded universities and research institutions, face significant challenges in shaping the OA transformation. This article examines the spheres of activity available to RPOs for shaping the OA transformation, using a categorization of 22 spheres of activity related to OA. These spheres of activity include strategy and communication, services and infrastructures, business relationships with publishers, and collaborations. Current challenges and future action areas in promoting OA are also described, providing support for RPOs in handling OA and highlighting key issues. The categorization can serve as a tool for systematically assessing OA activities at RPOs and shows that OA is a cross-cutting issue in these organizations. Collaboration on OA activities, both within and beyond organizations, presents a challenge. To effectively promote OA, it is crucial to strengthen the interaction between funding agencies and RPOs. Libraries are critical stakeholders, playing a vital role in advancing OA at the local, national, and international levels in partnership with RPO management and other partners in faculty, administration, and information technology.
促进研究机构的开放获取:活动领域、挑战和未来行动领域
开放获取(OA)已成为科学政策中的一个关键问题,并影响着大学和研究实验室的广泛活动。研究执行组织(RPOs),定义为公共资助的大学和研究机构,在塑造OA转型方面面临重大挑战。本文使用与OA相关的22个活动领域的分类,研究了rpo可用于塑造OA转换的活动领域。这些活动领域包括战略和沟通、服务和基础设施、与出版商的业务关系以及合作。阐述了推进OA的当前挑战和未来行动领域,为rpo处理OA提供了支持,并突出了关键问题。分类可以作为系统地评估rpo中的OA活动的工具,并显示OA在这些组织中是一个横切问题。组织内外的OA活动协作是一个挑战。为了有效地促进OA,加强资助机构与rpo之间的互动至关重要。图书馆是关键的利益相关者,在地方、国家和国际层面上与RPO管理层以及教职员工、行政部门和信息技术方面的其他合作伙伴合作,在推进OA方面发挥着至关重要的作用。
