The Centre for Research Communications is pleased to announce the release of an upgrade to its SHERPA/JULIET service, the go-to database of research funders' open access policies - http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/juliet/
SHERPA/JULIET now has grown to cover 110 funders. Chart of Growth of the SHERPA/JULIET Database can be found here: http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/juliet/news.php?la=en&mode=simple&file=../news/2012-12-12-JULIET-Upgrade.html The increase in size has necessitated an upgrade to the JULIET website and the introduction of several new features, including: * Redesign of the look and feel of the website to match the JULIET's partner service RoMEO - the database of publishers' copyright and open access policies. * The introduction of a search interface, in addition to the existing "browse" list. This allows you to search by funder's name and country. In "advanced mode", you can also search according to the funders' policy requirements for open access publications, and the archiving of publications and data. * New statistical charts. While the current focus of JULIET is on the United Kingdom, we are extending coverage to the rest of the world. * A prototype Application Programmers' Interface (API). * Lists of new additions and news stories. About JULIET The JULIET service is developed and maintained by the Centre for Research Communications, University of Nottingham (http://crc.nottingham.ac.uk/) and is currently funded by JISC via UK RepositoryNet+ (http://www.repositorynet.ac.uk/). JULIET provides users access to a directory of funding agencies' open access policies on Open Access publication archiving, data archiving and Open Access publishing. JULIET is used internationally and is widely recognised as part of the essential support infrastructure of the open access environment. JULIET is part of a suite of open access services produced and maintained by the Centre for Research Communications, which also includes RoMEO and OpenDOAR. About Centre for Research Communications The Centre for Research Communications (CRC) (http://crc.nottingham.ac.uk/) was formed in April 2009, to help to support and inform the changes and new ideas in the way that research is communicated around the world. The CRC houses a portfolio of open access projects and initiatives currently undertaken by the University of Nottingham. About UK RepNET+ UK RepNet+ is a socio-technical infrastructure supporting deposit, curation & exposure of Open Access research literature. The aim of the UK RepNet+ project is to increase the cost effectiveness of repositories of such literature. It will do this by offering a sustained and well-used suite of services that enable repositories to operate more cost effectively. Read more on the project blog (http://www.repositorynet.ac.uk/).
