##article.abstract##

The Swedish Government has recently presented the new Research and Innovation Bill for the coming four years. We are happy to note that Open Access is discussed for the first time. The government regards increased availability to scientific information as a prerequisite for successful Swedish research and innovation. More in coming issues.

The government bill also contains an interesting discussion of different ways to relate research performance to funding. See comment by Hampus Rabow
