A turning point for several OA policies
Creators & Contributors
Today was a big day for a handful of OA policies.
- OA mandates took effect today at four of the Research Councils UK: the Biotechnology & Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), the Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC), the Medical Research Council (MRC), and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).
- Last year on this date, the Wellcome Trust implemented its OA mandate for all new Wellcome research grants. Today the WT extended the policy from new grants to all outstanding grants, no matter how long ago they were awarded.
- Last year the Dutch DARE project set itself the goal of depositing 100,000 full-text eprints, or tripling the volume, in the DARE network of OA repositories --all in one year. The year ended today.
