SCOAP3 extended for a new and innovative phase
The SCOAP3 initiative to centrally fund open access (OA) to research articles in particle physics at no cost to authors worldwide has been extended for an additional three years, commencing in 2025.
In its upcoming fourth phase (2025-2027), SCOAP3 will include the Open Science Incentives Mechanism, which will reward publishers based on their adoption of open science practices. These practices include using persistent identifiers, the availability of datasets and software, enriching metadata, and improving accessibility, which will benefit researchers worldwide. Publishers will further be incentivised to disclose efforts in sustainability, data privacy, financial transparency, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), which will be made publicly available on the SCOAP3 website.
Having established OA as the disciplinary norm for a decade, through this new innovation SCOAP3 aims to situate research papers more readily as a core output of an interlinked open science ecosystem.
