The document discusses recommendations from EUROHORCs, a European organization of research funding and performing organizations, regarding open access. The recommendations call for scientists to consider open access when publishing research and to self-archive works. They also advise member organizations to sign the Berlin Declaration supporting open access and adopt EURAB recommendations. The document then analyzes financial implications of shifting to more open access models, comparing potential costs to research funders' budgets and publishers' revenues. It raises questions around who will pay for and maintain open access repositories long-term.
