Open science

Open science is the unrestricted dissemination of research publications and data. It aims to make these publications and data accessible to all, without restriction, delay, or payment. In France, it is governed by the Law for a Digital Republic, which gives researchers new rights to make their writings freely available. The National Plan for Open Science, published in 2018, aims to make scientific research results accessible to all. The second National Plan for Open Science for 2021-2024, published in July 2021, aims to strengthen and renew the actions already taken to make science more transparent and accessible to citizens and economic and social actors. It has four main areas of focus: making open access to publications the norm, structuring, sharing, and opening up research data, opening up and promoting source codes produced by research, and transforming practices to make open science the default principle.
Article 30 of the October 2016 Law authorizes researchers to make their scientific publications freely accessible under certain
conditions.

Roadmap for open access at the CNRS, based on four objectives

  • 100% of CNRS publications are open access.
  • Data management/sharing based on the implementation ofFAIR principles.
  • Search and analyze scientific content independently.
  • Transform the individual evaluation of researchers by making it compatible with the objectives of open science on the one hand, and take into account the contribution of researchers to open science in the evaluation on the other.

    • Inform, encourage, support.
    • Provide access to various levels of detail for full-text deposit indicators.
  • Promote responsible data management.
    • Provide a data infrastructure compatible with needs and challenges (scientific, environmental, financial, etc.).
    • Formalize and distribute guidelines (PGD, ethical and legal issues, etc.).
    • Provide a help desk.
  • Provide tools and procedures for protecting data and results.
    • Implement an electronic lab notebook solution.
