Introduction

In Poland Open Access is embraced and implemented almost independently by three different groups: librarians, researchers and government agencies. Even without coordination, systematic work of OA advocates results in a steadily growing number of OA journals (as of March 2021 , 696  indexed by DOAJ so far) and OA repositories (119 in OpenDOAR ).

Additionally, the general public also shows its support for the concept - the petition for Open Mandate initiated at the beginning of 2012 signed by over 10000 people, of which substantial amount did not claim academic affiliation. There are currently 7 OA policies registered in ROARMAP .

In July 2013 , the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Conference of Rectors of Academic Schools in Poland have jointly published a statement in support of the Green Road to Open Access, calling for institutional repositories to be established in all scientific units in the country. Finally, in October 2015 , the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (MNiSW) issued a document entitled „Kierunki rozwoju otwartego dostępu do treści naukowych w Polsce” (in Polish only; for a discussion of this document in English see the blog post "Poland: Initial open access policy") which sets specific OA recommendations for all major stakeholders in Poland. In 2018 , the Polish parliament passed the Law on Higher Education and Science, the so-called Law 2.0. It provided the framework for the reform of the higher education system.

2014: In Poland , the OpenAIRE partner Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling (ICM) announced an Open Access mandate .  Also in Poland, Open Science Platform Legal Assistant was launched - an interactive tool for scientists, publishers, research funders and research units was launched to provide a legal advice.

Enabling Environment

EIFL work with Poznan Foundation of Scientific Libraries a consortium of 12 members consisting of;

  • Poznań Libraries;

  • Poznan University of Technology;

  • Adam Mickiewicz University;

  • University of Economics;

  • University of Medical Sciences;

  • Academy of Agriculture;

  • The Raczynski Library;

  • Poznan Society of Friends of Science and Arts;

  • Academy of Physical Education;

  • Academy of Music;

  • Academy of Fine Arts;

  • Polish Academy of Sciences.

Three organisations have signed the Berlin Declaration: Collegium Artium; University of Warsaw; Wikimedia Polska.

OA advocacy is conducted by ICM University of Warsaw, EBIB Society, Coalition for Open Education, Creative Commons Poland, Digital Centre, Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics PAS and many other independent researchers and librarians. Government repeatedly surveys the academics for the possibility of introducing OA mandate for scholarly articles or theses.

In 2010 Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics Polish Academy of Science introduced OA mandate as a first institution in Poland. Polish Academy of Science could not introduce such a mandate on behalf of all institutes, but nevertheless shortly after IBB's mandate, PAS moved its journals to an Open Access platform.

OA fees are covered for authors depositing research from Polish institutions following an agreement between ICM University of Warsaw, acting on behalf of the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education, and Springer in May 2010. All faculty and students affiliated with an academic, educational or scientific research institute in Poland are now encouraged to make use of Springer’s Open Choice option.

ICM University of Warsaw also coordinates an initiative of building software layer of the national repository of scholarly works (project SYNAT). ICM UW already launched Centre for Open Science, the repository of OA scholarly works. Independently, the Federation of Digital Libraries of Poznan Supercomputing Centre created a federated repository of all open resources available at Polish libraries and academic institutions. Currently it holds over 1 million records.

Creative Commons Poland has been active since 2005 and is a key player. In 2009 it prepared "The Guide to Open Science"  which was mostly focused on OA.

Key Organizations

The Ministry of Science and Higher Education has the responsibility for research funding, developing and implementing research policy. The Ministry also assesses research institutions and research projects.
