Open science

Open science refers to the unrestricted dissemination of research publications and data. It aims to make these publications and data accessible to everyone, without barriers, delays, or fees. In France, it is governed by the Law for a Digital Republic, which grants researchers new rights to make their work openly accessible. The National Plan for Open Science, published in 2018, aims to make the results of scientific research accessible to everyone. The second National Plan for Open Science for 2021–2024, published in July 2021, aims to strengthen and renew existing initiatives to make science more transparent and accessible to citizens and economic and social stakeholders. It has four main priorities: making open access to publications widespread, 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 at no cost under certain
conditions.

CNRS Open Access Roadmap: Four Key Objectives

  • 100% of CNRS publications are available via open access.
  • Data management and sharing based on the implementation ofFAIR principles.
  • Independent research and analysis of scientific content.
  • Transform the individual evaluation of researchers by aligning it with the goals of open science, on the one hand, and by taking into account researchers’ contributions to open science in the evaluation process, on the other.
