EU Commissioner names Sparrho as an example of "powerful new tools" in publishing

Carlos Moedas urges industry to embrace innovations for Open Access
 
SHOREDITCH, U.K. - Oct. 20, 2016 - PRLog -- Two days ago at the Frankfurt Book Fair, the publishing industry's largest conference, Carlos Moedas, European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation delivered a three-part argument for his advocacy of open access for scientific publications.

In his speech entitled "Open Access in a time of change", Moedas urged publishers to embrace new business models in the market's "transition from pay-to-read to free-to-read".

Moedas emphasised that "real competitive advantage" will hail from a wide range of innovations, as exemplified by modern peer-review and publishing platforms, and "powerful new tools such as Sparrho."

In response, Dr Vivian Chan, CEO and Co-founder of Sparrho, stated:
"On 27th January 2016 in Amsterdam, I had the precious opportunity to speak directly to Commissioner Moedas and all EU Ministers for Research and Innovation about the importance of Open Access and Open Data in maintaining Europe's competitive edge as a home for world-leading research and fast-growing startups like Sparrho. I am very pleased to hear that the European Commission's efforts have gathered even more momentum in the past months, as evidenced by Commissioner Moedas' announcement that 50% of articles are now openly accessible. Sparrho will continue to apply technological advances in artificial intelligence to improve the dissemination of scientific knowledge."
