European Community publishing platform

The EC will fund an Open Research Publishing Platform provisionally entitled ‘Open Research Europe’. The main aim of the platform is to offer Horizon 2020 beneficiaries a free and fast publication possibility for peer reviewed articles as well as pre-prints resulting from Horizon 2020 funding.

According to an “Information Note” the platform will operate on a strictly voluntary basis.

The platform is part of the H2020 Work Plan 2018-2020: Over a duration of 4 years a maximum of 6.4 million € are foreseen for this action and the implementation of the platform will take place through a fully transparent public procurement process.
