Dear Lidia,
Many thanks for the report. I will branch this reply to GOAL, BOAI & SOAF I would say that the measure of OA success in Poland is definitely not the number of (“Gold”) OA journals but rather the proportion of all refereed journal articles published yearly by Polish authors that is OA within the year of publication. And the way to maximize that proportion OA is for Polish institutions and funders to mandate (require) that all refereed journal articles by Polish authors be deposited in their institutional OA repository immediately upon acceptance for publication, as a prerequisite for research performance review and research funding. (All institutions should also implement the copy-request Button <http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/18511/>.)
