The OpenAccess.se program (OA)
The OA program intended to promote maximum accessibility and visibility of works produced by researchers, teachers and students. We accomplish this by supporting electronic publishing at Swedish institutions of higher education.
Mandates
- Coordinate and develop standards and tools for e-publication
- Increase the volume and diversity of content in open archives
- Promote the use of material in open archives and OA journals
- Improve the quality of content and services
- Promote long-term access to the digital publications of academic institutions
- Support publishing in OA journals and transition to OA models for Swedish scholarly journals.
The program was implemented during 2006-2009 by the National Library in partnership with the Association of Swedish Higher Education, the Swedish Research Council, the Royal Swedish Academy of the Sciences and The Swedish Knowledge Foundation.
The program har recently been evaluated by international experts and the National Library of Sweden is now discussing the orientation and organization of a continued program with other stakeholders.
