Guild of European Research Intensive Universities har gjort ett uttalande om open access
The Guild expresses its concerns over the current financial unsustainability of the academic publishing
system in Europe. The rise of open-access models requiring article-processing charges (APCs) has
worsened the issue, contributing to inequalities and dissuading researchers from publishing their work
in the most appropriate outlets.
.....
Julien Chicot, Senior Policy Officer at The Guild said: "Our universities are alarmed: their publication
expenditures are hitting the ceiling! We welcome the efforts done by the Swedish presidency of the
Council of the EU to give a strong impetus to a reform of the scholarly publication system. What we
need is that this system comes back to its first and foremost objective: give all researchers the most
appropriate, equitable, and effective means to disseminate, and access to, high-quality research outputs."
