Ireland’s national ambitions for open research have been outlined in the National Framework on the Transition to an Open Research Environment (2019). The National Framework consists of 28 objectives across five strategic areas: open access to research publications; enabling FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) research data; infrastructures for access to and preservation of research; skills and competencies; and incentives and rewards. This report summarises progress and challenges in each of these areas. As such, it aims to provide a snapshot of the current state of the support structures for open research in Ireland.
