“…However, looking at the list of participants involved in this example indicates that only two of the 11 were research representatives; one of whom was a dean, which means it is unclear whether he was representing the research community or research leadership. Nevertheless, Malmö University's report (Fransson et al, 2016) differed in certain ways from this pattern as questionnaires were sent to all professors, doctoral students, and lecturers. What is indicative, however, is that only 161 individuals, or 27%, completed them.…”

The discourse of openness has proved to be a very powerful instrument for promoting new research policies and the (neoliberal) reforms of higher education in all so-called 'advanced economies'. It has triggered positive democracy-, transparency-, and accountability-related associations when used in the context of politics, fair resource distribution when used in the sphere of public service, and free access to information and knowledge when used in the field of science and higher education. At the same time, international research shows that university autonomy is increasingly being attacked, reduced, and marginalized by the same policies. Power instances outside academia impose new criteria, such as 'accountability,' 'performance,' 'quality assurance,' and 'good practice.' They also impose ideas about what good research is, which scientific method is to be prioritized, and what good data are. The process of the de-professionalization, polarization, and proletarianization of the academic profession is increasingly affecting academia. However, none of this has much in common with the open-access discourse. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how this discussion applies to Sweden. Courses, forces, and discourses of the national research infrastructure development policy in general, and qualitative data preservation policy in particular, are described and deliberated. Course, force and discourse of the neoliberal university The actual openness movement began to conquer the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) world as recently as a decade ago. At that time, however, neoliberalism as an economic and political concept already dominated the world. The central assumptions on which neoliberal ideology is based are the idea of people as self-interested individuals and the notions of self-regulating markets, free trade, and rules of law (for a summary, see Harvey, 2005; Olssen and Peters, 2007). This ideology, in the situation of a deepening crisis of so-called 'welfare capitalism', has been the basis for radical changes in the political economy of capitalism since the end of the 1980s, consisting of privatization, deregulation, financialization, and globalization (Lippit, 2010; Radice, 2013). The political philosophy that gave meaning to all these CONTACT Zoran Slavnic

Open research data, an archival challenge?

The Swedish government has decided that all research results in the form of research data and scientific publications financed with public funds should be openly accessible as far as possible. The question is whether the responsible actors and if the universities are ready to implement the change. The significance of open access has amplified in Sweden. Earlier research has brought to light that the collection and preservation of research data are often surrounded by ambiguous rules and lack a comprehensive structure. For example, archiving is not given enough consideration in connection to research projects and researchers often tend to save their material on platforms that are not persistent over time. This article is based upon a qualitative research approach where 15 semi-structured interviews have been used as primarily data sources to investigate the implementation of open access of research data and scientific publications. The article investigated how Swedish universities and public authorities were working with archiving and implementation of open research data and their opinions on open access. The results displayed a lack of coordination, resources and infrastructure but also that common agreed nomenclature were missing. The management of research data was not part of an overall recordkeeping strategy. One explanation could be differences in the information culture among researchers and archivists. Social sciences theory has been combined with archival theory in order to explain the reasons to this. These have been put in relation to the principles of the open data directive.
