Velichka Dimitrova, Project Coordinator of Open Economics at the Open Knowledge Foundation, sums up the open access workshops at Minho University, Portugal:
While open access policies and structures might be getting more popular in some countries or science fields, there is still limited understanding of how to make data from research available on a wider scale. It is however clear that the experiences of the open access movement are key lessons for our understanding of how to make research data openly available.
