<Apologies for cross posting> The period since the middle of 2012 has seen a flurry of statements on, and policies about, open access from some heavy hitters. Indeed there have been quite a few in the past two months.
The AOASG's new webpage "Statements on OA in the world & Australia" http://aoasg.org.au/statements-on-oa-in-australia-the-world/ lists these statements with a description of what the policy says, some relevant links and a short explanation about what the implications might be for the policy. Our intention is to keep this list updated, particularly relating to the changing situation in Australia. A list of the policies covered is below. The World * G8 Ministers of Science statement – 13 June 2013<http://aoasg.org.au/statements-on-oa-in-australia-the-world/#G8> * Global Research Council – 27 May 2013<http://aoasg.org.au/statements-on-oa-in-australia-the-world/#GRC> * UNESCO OA policy– 15 May 2013<http://aoasg.org.au/statements-on-oa-in-australia-the-world/#UNESCO> * Science Europe – April 2013<http://aoasg.org.au/statements-on-oa-in-australia-the-world/#ScienceEurope> * RCUK policy (UK) – 1 April 2013<http://aoasg.org.au/statements-on-oa-in-australia-the-world/#RCUK> * HEFCE proposal (UK) – 25 February 2013<http://aoasg.org.au/statements-on-oa-in-australia-the-world/#HEFCE> * White House policy (US) – 22 February 2013<http://aoasg.org.au/statements-on-oa-in-australia-the-world/#WhiteHouse> * European Commission – 17 July 2012<http://aoasg.org.au/statements-on-oa-in-australia-the-world/#EuroCommission> * Finch Report (UK) – 16 July 2012<http://aoasg.org.au/statements-on-oa-in-australia-the-world/#Finch> * World Bank OA policy – 10 April 2012<http://aoasg.org.au/statements-on-oa-in-australia-the-world/#WorldBank> Australia * Measuring impact – 19 June 2013<http://aoasg.org.au/statements-on-oa-in-australia-the-world/#impact> * Universities Australia – A Smarter Australia – 27 February 2013<http://aoasg.org.au/statements-on-oa-in-australia-the-world/#UniAust> * NHMRC & ARC – July 2012 & January 2013<http://aoasg.org.au/statements-on-oa-in-australia-the-world/#NHMRC> * The National Research Investment Plan – 2012<http://aoasg.org.au/statements-on-oa-in-australia-the-world/#NRIP> * * We hope you find it useful.
