Open access in Denmark

Open access to scholarly communication in Denmark has grown rapidly since the 1990s. As in other countries in general, open access publishing is less expensive than traditional, paper-based, pre-Internet publishing.[1]

Repositories and platforms

There are a number of collections of scholarship in Denmark housed in digital open access repositories.[2] They contain journal articles, book chapters, data, and other research outputs that are free to read. The consortial Scandinavian hprints repository began operating in 2008, specializing in arts, humanities, and social sciences content.[3] In 2017, Aarhus University launched an open science platform, SPOMAN.[4][5][2]

Policy

Leaders of the Copenhagen Business School voted in June 2009 to adopt an open access mandate, the first of its kind in Denmark.[6]

In 2012 Denmark's main public funders of research began requiring that grantees deposit articles into open access digital repositories.[7] In 2014, the Danish Ministry of Research created a national policy requiring open access for all publicly funded research published after 2020.[7]

gollark: At last, I have managed to read my ebooks on a non-Amazon reader and it only took installing Calibre, installing the DeDRM plugin, copying over the folder on my tablet's SD card to my laptop via MTP, importing that, finding out that it recognized the metadata fine but could not actually view the contents, trawling the internet for somewhat dubious old copies of Kindle for PC, installing that in Wine, frantically turning off "automatically update" options before it did something, downloading my books, deregistering old devices because apparently I have a limited amount of devices available per book, downloading the ones which complained, figuring out where the Kindle for PC thing actually saved old books to, running the DeDRM DRM key finding thing, finding that that, not very unexpectedly, didn't work with a Wine install, installing Python 2 in Wine, running the DRM key finding script within the not-really-Windows-install, importing the key into the plugin, and then importing all the book files.
gollark: The newer smaller processes have worse... electromigration or whatever it is... problems.
gollark: I think Intel stuff is rated to run below 105° or so, but it's probably bad for it.
gollark: I believe that's mostly artificial driver limitations by Nvidia.
gollark: Huh, it looks like according to userbenchmark (kind of a terrible source, but nobody else is actually going to make comparisons this ridiculous) my integrated GPU is actually slightly faster than your dedicated card.
