We are delighted that the NORF-funded SCOIR project has a Draft model legislation to ensure open access to major Research Outputs produced by researchers and academics at Irish Institutions. SCOIR aims to unharness the power of open research by assessing and presenting options for researcher’s rights retention of their published works and making them available open access.   Please find the draft linked below, the bill can also be found at the SCOIR project website.
