2020 Barometer of Open Science: 56% of French publications are in open access

The third Flash Note from the French Barometer of Open Science (BSO) has just been published by the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation. 56% of French publications in 2019 (measured in 2020) were in open access which corresponds to over 87,000 publications.
