London, 11 February 2016
In response to the publication of today’s report by Professor Tickell and the accompanying Ministerial response, Sam Burridge, Managing Director for the Open Research business at Springer Nature, said:
“Open access is thriving, and the UK Government has taken a world-leading position in supporting open research. We welcome Professor Tickell’s report, and applaud the Minister’s decision to hold fast to their commitment to open access. A national infrastructure roadmap for open data is a visionary step and Springer Nature are keen to collaborate with the community to make it happen.”
