Did you know that, for example, the publications of studies that enable a single WIC Science news collection can cost xxxx-xxxxxx euros at best??? Publishing scientific research is a massive business in the world, where profits are collected year after year by a few large international publishers. Although options for developing the openness of science have been considered and implemented, the financial pressures of the academic world have not eased.

Cost monitoring of open science and research in Finland covers e.g. license and subscription fees, transformative agreements, author fees for open publishing, and parallel storage costs. The monitoring model has been developed as a working group coordinated by the National Library and will be piloted in 2022. Data is collected from surveys, the office of the FinELib consortium and the Open APC service. Results include estimates and rounding, and not all organizations have responded perfectly. The information has been published in the Fairdata service.
Open research sources:
arXiv - is an open scholarly publication archive that provides freely available research articles from a variety of disciplines, including physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, and statistics. Users can read, download and upload research articles free of charge. The service is especially popular among researchers who want to share their work quickly and to a wide audience.
PubMed Central (PMC) - is a free digital repository providing access to biomedical and bioscience research articles. It is particularly useful for researchers in biomedical fields.
bioRxiv is an open repository that focuses specifically on the field of biology. Like arXiv, it allows researchers to share their work before formal peer review.
SSRN (Social Science Research Network) - An open repository focused on the social sciences and humanities. It offers free research articles on topics such as law, economics and politics.
ResearchGate - is a social network for researchers where users can share research articles, presentations and other scientific materials. Although not all content is freely available, many researchers share their work for free.
Zenodo - This is an open science and research archive maintained by CERN. Zenodo enables the sharing of research articles, datasets and other research-related material.
Open Access Journals - Many open access scientific journals offer free research articles. Examples of these are PLOS ONE, BMC Series and other similar publication series.
CORE - CORE is a search engine and repository of open access research articles that collects content from the publication archives of universities and other institutions around the world.
