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 restrictions, delays, or fees. In France, it is governed by the Law for a Digital Republic, which grants researchers new rights to make their work freely 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 comprises four key areas: expanding open access to publications; structuring, sharing, and opening up research data; opening up and promoting source code produced by research; and transforming practices to make open science the default principle.
Article 30 of the Law of October 2016 authorizes researchers to make their scientific publications freely accessible at no cost under certain
conditions.

CNRS Open Access Roadmap Based on Four Objectives

  • 100% of CNRS publications are open access.
  • Data management and sharing based on the implementation of theFAIR principles.
  • Independent research and analysis of scientific content.
  • Transform the individual evaluation of researchers by making it compatible 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.
