Operationalising Open Research Europe as a collective publishing enterprise

Rob Johnson (Research Consulting)

This is an independent expert study commissioned in the context of the ERA to support the future development of Open Research Europe (ORE), the European Commission open access publishing platform, as a collective pan-European publishing initiative supported by funders and institutions across Europe. The study focuses on the business model that ORE should adopt in the future. It assesses the current funding and organizational model and proposes a model for the future of ORE. The study provides a unique insight into ORE and the possibilities for the future and will be very interesting for funders wishing to participate, and other policymakers, amongst others.
