#Albania has introduced a Draft Law (https://shorturl.at/p77mX) to promote #OpenScience (Article 5):

- Publicly funded research data and outputs should be open, accessible, interoperable, reusable
- OS practices should be used as criteria for evaluation of institutions, projects, researchers
- Research infrastructure should be open
- Standards for OS implementation should be aligned with the policies of European Research Area...

But there is no provision for #SecondaryPublishingRights

Reform of the scientific sphere of Albania: a new bill "Science and scientific research in the Republic of Albania" has been presented

The Minister of Education and Sports, Ogerta Manastirliou, presented the draft of the new law "Science and Scientific Research in the Republic of Albania" to the Commission for Education and Public Information.

The EU's common market is based on four freedoms: free movement of goods, services, labour and capital. We're still lacking the free movement of knowledge.

The next mandate should bring some news on the “Fifth Freedom”.

In this regard, this webinar by Knowledge Rights 21:

«Scientific Innovation and Growth—What should the EU do in its 2024-29 mandate to support research?»

24 June Webinar: Scientific Innovation and Growth—What should the EU do in its 2024-29 mandate to support research?

The programme Knowledge Rights 21 (KR21) is focused on bringing about changes in legislation and practice across Europe that will strengthen the right of all to knowledge. It is built on a conviction that knowledge is essential for education, innovation and cultural participation, and that everyone should have the possibility - in particular through libraries, archives and digitally - to access and use it.

True enough. The quoted par is better than many short accounts. But I still have a few quarrels.
* #GreenOA works are often but not always published in journals. OA #preprints are green OA.
* Green OA can be #unembargoed.
* Permission for green OA needn't be granted by publishers. Can be held by author #RightsRetention or granted by #SecondaryPublishingRights.
* Not sure that a "large percentage" of OA journals charge APCs. Is 31% "large"?

Na próxima Segunda-feira, um webinar da Knowledge Rights 21 sobre novos desenvolvimentos legislativos na Ciência Aberta, com Bulgária e Eslovénia em destaque.
Por exemplo, na Bulgária, uma recente mudança legislativa vem impedir que os editores se possam opor à conservação de direitos por parte dos autores, ou à republicação de artigos financiados com dinheiro público em repositórios de acesso livre.

Kudos to #Bulgaria for adopting #copyright reforms.

h/t @MelissaHagemann

The Bulgarian reforms include #SecondaryPublishingRights (#SPR), which let scholarly authors make their research articles #OpenAccess through repositories (#GreenOA) without regard to the contracts they might have signed with #publishers.

By my count, 9 European countries have adopted SPR. But Bulgaria and Spain are the only two that allow unembargoed green OA.

"The Guild supports the Council's recognition that researchers play a crucial role in the academic publishing ecosystem and that their contributions to the well-functioning of research communities should be better recognised in research assessment."

Europe’s academic publishing system must become sustainable and equitable - The Guild

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.
