Life sciences come top with social sciences bottom, new report into Academy research availability finds
Almost 70 percent of research results and data derived from projects funded by the Academy of Finland are openly available—but this varies hugely between disciplines.
A report looking into the broader impact of research funded by the academy between 2017 and 2021 has warned that open access to data, results and methods of this research was “unequal”. On average, 67 per cent of research materials were available for free through open access repositories, but in the social sciences, this was just 47 per cent, the report showed.
