Abstract

The current crisis around the Corona virus revealed the importance of Big Data, Open Access and Open Science - unfettered access to scientific and scholarly information, for scientists, researchers, academicians, journalists and other professionals alike – for effectively dealing with such calamities. It is the efforts of Sander Dekker during the last decade to implement Open Access by legislation and involvement of European Union that made it easy for the scientific community to place their research results on Covid-19 under Open Access to arrest the spread of the pandemic. Now scientists believe that Open Access to research findings will become one of the positive outcomes from the Covid-19 pandemic.
