######################### Breakout Group Notes: ##########################################
Give your group a name and take notes below! Including actions!
## UK
###Problems/Gaps
### What do we need
- Need to centralise info on what is actually happening.
## Germany
###Problems/Gaps
### What do we need
## North America
###Problems/Gaps
### What do we need
- Open up process of submission process, peer review process - to be more transparent
- From the Policy side, costs are helpful in steering policy decisions
- - University subscription costs
- - Opening up publisher contracts
- - How much is being spent on Gold/Green OA
- From the researcher side
- Opening up code that underlies the article,
- How article is tracked? Is the data being cited?
- citations per work Gold vs. Green
## Eastern Europe
###Problems/Gaps
- More basic problems than subscriptions costs or publication fees
- * Plagiarism (esp. amongst students, theses)
- * Researchers don't even publish
- * Value of knowledge is perceived to be low
- * No open access policies in some places
- * No metadata online
### What do we need
- Movement of faculty to willingly adpt OA policies and then can start collecting data. Need people to motivate and share best practise
- Information on figures of less interest to researchers - need to know what others have done and what works and doesn't
## Additional notes from other regions
Australia has a web service which allows getting the total sums spent by university libraries
Open Access Mandates should me machine-readable so that violations can be automatically detected
