Publishing your research open access (2020) , Swedish Research Council

What is this about?

Publishing Your Research Open Access (2020), produced by the Swedish Research Council, provides guidance for open science and open access in Sweden, framing openness as a default while respecting ethics, privacy, IP, and security. It links openness to research quality, reproducibility, rapid knowledge translation, and equitable access, covering open access publications, preferred licensing, FAIR data principles, data management plans, persistent identifiers, and trusted repositories. Responsibilities for researchers and institutions, justified embargoes, and exceptions for sensitive data are outlined, supported by enabling infrastructure and alignment with international frameworks like Plan S. Emphasis is placed on equity, responsible handling of sensitive data, and quality of openness, with practical examples and FAQs to help researchers, institutions, funders, and publishers implement open, interoperable, and inclusive practices efficiently.
