Improving access to and reuse of research results, publications and data for scientific purposes - Dataset with stakeholders' consultations results
Description
The datasets were created via data collection efforts for the Horizon Europe-funded "study to evaluate the effects of the EU copyright framework on research and the effects of potential interventions and to identify and present relevant provisions for research in EU data and digital legislation, with a focus on rights and obligations". The study was contracted by DG RTD.
This research project supports the objectives of the Action 2 of the European Research Area (ERA) Policy Agenda 2022-2024, which aims to propose an EU legislative and regulatory framework for copyright and data that is fit for research. The study provides a comprehensive analysis of barriers to the access and reuse of publicly funded research results, including scientific publications and data. It assesses existing EU copyright legislation and EU data and digital legislation. It also assesses regulatory frameworks and national initiatives and identifies potential areas for improvement.
Using a methodological, evidence-based approach, the study presents possible legislative and non-legislative measures to improve the current EU copyright and data framework and align it with the needs of scientific research and open research data principles.
The datasets include the raw data from three surveys (survey 1 targeted at researchers, survey 2 targeted at research-performing organisations, and survey 3 targeted at publishers). All surveys have two major parts: one concerning copyright legislation and another concerning data and digital legislation. In addition, interview notes are also provided. They are also organised into two parts: one concerning copyright legislation and another concerning data and digital legislation.
