Hello, The Australian Open Access Support Group (AOASG) has just published an explainer on its website called the Comparison of ARC NHMRC policies: http://aoasg.org.au/resources/comparison-of-arc-nhmrc-policies/ The page is organised under the subheadings: * Summary of the policies * Strengths of the policies * Weaknesses of the policies * Author rights for articles published with Elsevier Wiley * Similarities and differences of the exact wording from the policies We hope this will clarify some of the questions about the similarities and differences between the policies.
