- 15. Principled argument Results of publicly funded research should be publicly available OA enables research findings to be shared with the wider public, creating a knowledge economy with better informed citizens OA enhances knowledge transfer to sectors that can directly use knowledge to produce better goods and services Why is OA important?
- 16. Pragmatic argument Improves research efficiency Enables reuse of research outputs Provides the basis for better research monitoring and evaluation Preservation of research outputs ensures our cultural heritage is protected and curated Scientific outputs are kept in formats that ensures they are permanently usable and accessible Why is OA important?
- 17. Lack of credit or citation Labour involved Risk of misuse or misinterpretation Control of IP, copyright Data protection (humans, endangered species) Lack of demand Lack of incentive in career progression, funding Competition Address the Reasons for Not Sharing
