This OA Policy is now improved, but to be optimal it would need to require immediate deposit (upon acceptance for publication), not only after the allowable 12-month embargo has elapsed. It would also help to integrate and align it with university OA mandates to require deposit n the university IRs, not central ones (to which it can then be automatically exported). That would also empower universities to monitor and ensure timely compliance.
