With this statement, we express our interest in establishing an international initiative for the OA transformation of scholarly journals, and we agree upon the following key aspects:
─ We aim to transform a majority of today’s scholarly journals from subscription to OA publishing in accordance with community-specific publication preferences. At the same time, we continue to support new and improved forms of OA publishing.
─ We invite all parties involved in scholarly publishing, in particular universities, research institutions, funders, libraries, and publishers to collaborate on a swift and efficient transition for the benefit of scholarship and society at large.
─ As a first step, we are urging Institutions to establish Open Access policies and Institution professors / researchers to submit their post-print scientific papers to academic depositories immediately after approval for their publication (Green route to OA).
Hellenic Academic Libraries Link (HEAL-Link) endorses the participation in Open Access international initiatives such as the Max Planck OA2020 (https://oa2020.org) and the European Project OpenAIRE (https: // www. openaire.eu/) and we consider this statement as part of a deeper change of the academic publishing system that will lead to significant improvements in scientific communication and global research level."
