Key documents now available from the European Task Force for Permanent
Access to the Records of Science
The EU conference Permanent Access to the Records of Science
<http://www.kb.nl/coop/euconference/> was held in The Hague on 1
November 2004. It enabled representatives and experts from EU member
states, third countries and the European Commission to discuss the issue
of permanent access and the creation of electronic archiving systems for
scientific publications and the participants agreed to a series of
conclusions and recommendations. In order to maintain momentum from the
conference and achieve maximum progress with these recommendations, the
KB was asked to set up a European Task Force for Permanent Access, which
started its work early in 2005.
The Task Force first concentrated on composing a Research and
Development Agenda, to be presented to the European Commission as a
contribution to the discussions on the forthcoming Seventh Framework
Programme. Secondly, it worked on developing proposals for a Strategic
Action Plan for Permanent Access to the Records of Science and an
proposed Alliance of European organisations committed to implementing it.
The work and progress of the Taskforce was recently presented in
December by its chair Dr Peter Tindemans to the European Research
Infrastructures Conference in Nottingham.This presentation and the
Taskforce documents on the Strategic Action Plan and the proposed
Research Agenda have been finalised and made available online as follows:
