The text quoted below must be parsed carefully. Are the universities supposed to be the sole owners of scientific output? And, if they are, does it mean that they are going to place these "assets" in the public domain?

The publishing rights are also relevant here. Are they exclusive or not?

“… the universities remain the owner of scientific output, both articles and data, …”

 

Really? That would be a radical step forward. Finally, the results of publicly financed research stay where they belong, in the public domain.

In response to the article VSNU said the following:

 

We confirm that we are exploring with Elsevier about services that contribute to increased knowledge of Dutch (open) science system. There is joint agreement that the universities remain the owner of scientific output, both articles and data, and of associated metadata.

 

We will always decide what third parties such as Elsevier can and cannot do with this (meta)data. Discussions are ongoing, if there is an outcome it will of course be made public. Until then we appreciate all responses. No irreversible steps, options open for whatever result.

Research data in exchange for open access, the new Elsevier policy?
