State of play of accessibility plans for roads and public spaces (PAVE) The PAVE is drawn up by the municipality or by the intercommunity if that competence has been transferred to it. It specifies the measures to be adopted to make accessible all pedestrian paths and parking areas present in the intercommunal (or communal) territory.

2022-2025 Accessibility plan for the Office of the Information Commissioner: Moving toward a more accessible OIC

Calls in favour of Open Data in research are becoming overwhelming. They are at national [@RCKUOpen] and international levels [@Moedas2015, @RSOpen, @ams2016]. I will set out a working definition of Open Data and will discuss the key challenges preventing the publication of Open Data becoming standard practice. I will attempt to draw some general solutions to those challenges from field specific examples.

Accessibility Plan

Policies that mandate public data archiving (PDA) successfully increase accessibility to data underlying scientific publications. However, is the data quality sufficient to allow reuse and reanalysis? We surveyed 100 datasets associated with nonmolecular studies in journals that commonly publish ecological and evolutionary research and have a strong PDA policy. Out of these datasets, 56% were incomplete, and 64% were archived in a way that partially or entirely prevented reuse. We suggest that cultural shifts facilitating clearer benefits to authors are necessary to achieve high-quality PDA and highlight key guidelines to help authors increase their data’s reuse potential and compliance with journal data policies.

This data is a dump from ROARMAP [http://roarmap.eprints.org/] taken in June 2015.

ROARMAP is the Registry of Open Access Repository Mandates and Policies, a searchable international registry charting the growth of open access mandates and policies adopted by universities, research institutions and research funders that require or request their researchers to provide open access to their peer-reviewed research article output by depositing it in an open access repository.

A number of fields have been added including country names, repository urls, continent etc.

The data is being used for a series of data visualisations [http://pasteur4oa-dataviz.okfn.org/] for the PATEUR4OA Project [http://pasteur4oa.eu/].

PASTEUR4OA (Open Access Policy Alignment Strategies for European Union Research) aims to support the European Commission’s Recommendation to Member States of July 2012 that they develop and implement policies to ensure Open Access to all outputs from publicly-funded research.

PASTEUR4OA will help develop and/or reinforce open access strategies and policies at the national level and facilitate their coordination among all Member States. It will build a network of centres of expertise in Member States that will develop a coordinated and collaborative programme of activities in support of policymaking at the national level under the direction of project partners.

Variables include NO2, PM2.5, Google Trends, and other social and economic for US MSA's.

NIST collects and reports numerous metrics semiannually to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy to demonstrate implementation of the NIST Plan for Public Access. These metrics include: the number of NIST data management plans (internal and external); the number of datasets listed on data.gov and made public on NIST's website; datasets accessed through NIST's data discovery tool; publications available through PubMed Central (PMC) and govinfo; and publications accessed through PMC. NISTIR 8084, which summarizes NIST's plan for providing public access is accessible via http://dx.doi.org/10.6028/NIST.IR.8084.

FCAC's Accessibility plan 2023 to 2025 - This plan details the current state of accessibility at the Agency relative to the 7 priority areas in the Accessible Canada Act and outlines the actions we will take over the next 3 years to remove identified barriers, prevent new ones from forming, and promote equity, diversity and inclusion in our workforce and core business activities. Accessibility is an essential component of disability inclusion.

Genetic data are being generated at unprecedented rates. Policies of many journals, institutions and funding bodies aim to ensure that these data are publicly archived so that published results are reproducible. Additionally, publicly archived data can be 'repurposed' to address new questions in the future. In 2011, along with other leading journals in ecology and evolution, Molecular Ecology implemented mandatory public data archiving (the Joint Data Archiving Policy). To evaluate the effect of this policy, we assessed the genetic, spatial and temporal data archived for 419 data sets from 289 articles in Molecular Ecology from 2009 to 2013. We then determined whether archived data could be used to reproduce analyses as presented in the manuscript. We found that the journal's mandatory archiving policy has had a substantial positive impact, increasing genetic data archiving from 49 (pre-2011) to 98% (2011–present). However, 31% of publicly archived genetic data sets could not be recreated based on information supplied in either the manuscript or public archives, with incomplete data or inconsistent codes linking genetic data and metadata as the primary reasons. While the majority of articles did provide some geographic information, 40% did not provide this information as geographic coordinates. Furthermore, a large proportion of articles did not contain any information regarding date of sampling (40%). Although the inclusion of spatio-temporal data does require an increase in effort, we argue that the enduring value of publicly accessible genetic data to the molecular ecology field is greatly compromised when such metadata are not archived alongside genetic data.

The OPC supports a culture that embraces diversity and inclusion in order to provide the highest quality of service to Canadians and enable the full participation of its employees, clients and stakeholders in the delivery of its activities and its mandate. This document sets out the OPC’s plan for reducing barriers and preventing the introduction of new barriers over the next three-year period.

The Public Services and Procurement Canada Accessibility plan 2023 to 2025 is our approach to accessibility: it describes our consultations and commits to accessibility goals.

This page promotes the CRA’s Accessibility Plan, which aims to identify, prevent and remove accessibility barriers. Feedback from the public consultations with persons with disabilities and their caregivers informed the Plan.

a See Table 1 in [32,33] for further details and examples of recognized data repositories. Some repositories are free (e.g., figshare), and others have a data publishing charge [60]. Depending on the publishing journal, charges may be covered (http://datadryad.org/pages/integratedJournals).bhttp://creativecommons.org/c E.g., Dryad allows a one-year no-questions-asked embargo, but figshare offers no embargo option.References listed provide specific details and more extensive discussion on these topics.

The policy brief aims to pinpoint key challenges and recommendations needed to leverage disability-inclusion data for successful outcomes.

This dataset, which was created by merging data from CrossRef, CORE, and Mendeley, contains metadata for over 800 thousand publications published between 2013 and 2018. The dataset was used to study how much time does it take for authors to deposit their articles in Open Access repositories in relation to when these articles were published. The source codes of our analysis are available at https://github.com/oacore/jcdl_2019.
