(gfii.asso.fr): The GFII Working Group includes representatives from the main economic stakeholders involved in Open Access: research institutes, publishers, aggregators, internet services, subscription agents, academic libraries, etc. This statement summarizes the Group recommendations. The Group would like to first stress the need for a discipline sensitive approach to open access. To be effective, the dissemination of scientific and technological information must be organized on a discipline specific way. A discipline can be defined - among others, by the related scientific community, which can be very multidisciplinary or not, its history, its knowledge base, methods, and time scale, its specific ways of disseminating scientific output, the local or international characteristics of subjects studied, and its methodology.
