      abstract     = {The deliverable report D4.1 - Information Seeking Behaviour
                      and Open Science Uptake in Industry: A Literature Review
                      (Fessl et al. 2020) served as the starting point for this
                      deliverable report D4.2. In T4.1 of ON-MERRIT, we conducted
                      an extensive literature review on the current state of the
                      art regarding information-seeking behaviour in SMEs and
                      industries, as well as the current status of the uptake of
                      Open Science resources in this regard. Our findings with
                      regard to T4.1 were reported in D4.1. Based on the insights
                      gained from D4.1, we started our investigation of the uptake
                      of responsible research and innovation (RRI) and Open
                      Science in SMEs/industries by conducting an interview study
                      in Austria. We then followed up this work with a
                      questionnaire study across Europe. Our overall findings show
                      that i) individuals with a university education are more
                      familiar with the concept of Open Science than others and
                      that ii) Open Science resources already play an important
                      role in the companies (of our interview partners), but their
                      uptake depends on the company characteristics, including the
                      company’s domain, and the products and services offered.
                      From both studies, we identified drivers that support the
                      uptake of Open Science resources: i) the employment of
                      people with a university background, ii) offering incentives
                      and support for uptake, iii) offering targeted training to
                      increase uptake, iv) learning from trans- and
                      interdisciplinary cooperations, and v) exploiting the wisdom
                      of the crowd. We also identified the following barriers that
                      hinder the uptake of Open Science resources: i) scarcity of
                      health-related data, ii) licence restrictions for the
                      commercial use of some data sets, iii) the reliability and
                      validation of data, and iv) limited number of Open Access
                      publications and expensive fees for publishing Open Access.
                      Taking these drivers and barriers into account, we postulate
                      the following two policy recommendations to make scientific
                      results (re)usable in SMEs as well as industries. Make Open
                      Science, its opportunities and benefits more visible,
                      especially outside the university context. Increase the
                      number of Open Access publications available for all
                      interested stakeholders, especially in domains with no
                      strong tradition in Open Access. Overall, we found that Open
                      Science resources are already used by SMEs and industries.
                      However, there is still a lot of work to do to raise
                      awareness of the Open Science endeavours within the private
                      sector and to increase benefits from Open Science resources
                      to help spur growth and innovation in SMEs and industries.},
