2. Die Gedanken sind frei
Knowledge is a public good.
Knowledge production needs Open Access.
Yes to OA!
Science policy push – scientific practices –
Division of labor around scientific publishing

3. How to measure OA? Which OA, which output?
OA monitoring proposal
VSNU
OA= Publications in journals (!)
registered as OA

4. How to measure OA? User-driven content
RIS allow differentiation. But with that also comes ambiguity.

5. CRIS and OA
• Keep it simple – but be aware of the ambiguity when
collecting the information!
• Get in-time monitoring of trends across disciplines,
publications types, institutions!
• Use Current Research Information Systems and their
standards for early warning and general trends!
• Execute in-depth-studies on demand!
• Come to our poster and see how a national CRIS –NARCIS –
can be used in OA monitoring!
