The migration from AmSci to GOALis now complete, and appears to have been successful, so many thanks to Stevan for overseeing the transition.
Now is surely also a good moment to thank Stevan for moderating AmSci with such energy for the past thirteen years, and indeed for his constant and assiduous advocacy for OA in general. I fully concur with Tony Heyâs comment of yesterday: âI think that Stevan must take some credit from the UK Government's decision to insist on open access to publications and data ... Well done Stevan and thanks for all your tireless proselytizing on behalf of open access!â Meanwhile, with the end of the year fast approaching, what better time to look back at the last twelve months, and forward to the next.As list members will know, GOAL is intended to be a Forum devoted to practical policies and strategies for accelerating the growth of OA. I wonder, therefore, if anyone would like to share their thoughts on what policies and strategies they feel have been effective or promising in 2011, and how; and what they propose or foresee for2012 and why.
