Dear colleagues,
As some of you know, the European Commission's Research Directorate-General
recently commissioned a "Study on the economic and technical evolution of
the scientific publication markets in Europe"
(
http://ec.europa.eu/research/science-society/pdf/scientific-publication-stu
dy_en.pdf). This Study by the Université libre de Bruxelles and the
Université des Sciences Sociales (Toulouse) was published in early 2006 and
led to a public consultation, to which many of you contributed.
Today, I am happy to be able to inform you that the synthesis of the
responses to the consultation and the individual contributions received are
available online:

The next steps planned by the European Commission are a Communication on
scientific information issues (late 2006)and a conference to be held on
15-16 February 2007 in Brussels. Please check our pages on scientific
publication over the next weeks for further information on these activities:
