If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, UK nationals will no longer have access to the EU\u2019s reciprocal system of professional qualification recognition, including its mechanism for facilitation of temporary and occasional service provision.

The UK is among the world\u2019s top research nations, with a world-leading research and innovation base for attracting and retaining researchers. As set out in the UKRI Strategic Prospectus, \u201ctalent\u201d and \u201copen research\u201d are two key foundations for excellent research and innovation. Throughout the Open Access Review UKRI will be engaging and consulting with the sector and a range of relevant stakeholders, including researchers, to understand the effects of its Open Access policy. Transitioning towards Open Access is the direction of travel taken by all leading research nations, and UKRI will be taking an evidence-based approach, and will consider the international context in its Review to help ensure that the UK remains a top destination for global researchers.<\/p>
The UK\u2019s substantial commitment to Open Access over the past years has resulted in it being at the forefront of the global movement to Open Access.

International collaboration is essential to ensure that the UK maintains its world leading position in research and innovation, and to bring benefit to the society and economy of the UK. Other advantages of Open Access, such as increased citation, are evidenced in the STM Report \u201cAn overview of scientific and scholarly publishing\u201d (available at https://www.stm-assoc.org/2018_10_04_STM_Report_2018.pdf<\/a>).<\/p> All leading research nations, including the US and China, have signalled their intent to move towards Open Access (Nature, December 2018 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-07659-5<\/a>). The international open access collaboration, Plan S, is led by Science Europe but includes international engagement beyond Europe.<\/p>"}
