At the heart of the cycle of research activity, the time when results are published is of prime importance. Thus, in the frame of the Committee for Open Science, for the installation of the National plan, the Publication college will deal with communication and discussion of results, and this in all their forms.

The second commitment of the national plan for open science is an invitation to “structure and, as far as possible, make research data available to all as Open Data”.

The international context of open science evolves extremely rapidly, especially in Europe where this theme is strongly driven by the European Commission and the Council of Europe.

The work of the college will be part of the third axis of the national plan for open science.

Today, software has become indispensable in all fields of scientific research, as a research tool as well as a research product and an object of research.

The question of evaluation of research and researchers is all the more relevant with the development of open science.

The Jussieu Call for Open science and bibliodiversity was published in early October 2017.

The “Observatory of open science practices” project group’s mission will be to provide a feasibility report on the implementation of a permanent observatory of open science practices.

Conditor’s objective is to survey and monitor the scientific production of French higher education and research organizations and laboratories.

The objective of the project is to study the conditions for the production of high value-added TDM services (Text & Data Mining) with semantic-based analysis for researchers.

This project group produces guides to best practices and recommendations for research and higher education actors (researchers, decision-makers, engineers, administrative staff) based on analysis of the national and European regulatory and legislative context for the development of best practices in open science.

In a context where the boundaries between open archives, scientific publishing, research data and research information systems are shifting and porous, a permanent Open Archives group is being set up within the Publications college to propose responses targeting open archives for the development and sustainability of open science.

The Open Scientific Publishing group is a sub-part of the Publication college.

Its objective is to design a generic service for research data for which existing or future disciplinary repositories would not be a suitable solution.
