Large universities have the option of declaring a policy that states that all publications will be published on the university’s own repository after a short waiting time. Even large publishers seem to respect these policies. If enough large universities implement similar policies, creating publicly browsable university-specific publication collections would become mainstream.

This is great news and things are, slowly, moving.

There should also be a German copyright reform effective as of 2014

saying that authors of scientific articles have an unwaivable right to

republish in green oa after 6 months. John, do you have more details on

this?

As far as I know that would be a unique approach in the EU, other

members have obligations to republish (spain, uk, italy) but don't

address copyright issue... This is a problem, as it leaves

authors/researchers in the uncomfortable situation to have OA

obligations towards funders and request to transfer copyright from

publishers...

Hi all:

Horizon 2020 launched with €15 billion over first two years

http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-13-1232_en.htm

There's a new provision that says that EU funded articles should be

green OA and that embargoes will be a 6 month maximum for the life and

physical sciences, and 12 months for the social sciences and

humanities. Here's the link to the model grant

agreement: http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/mga/gga/h2020-mga-gga-multi_en.pdf

Articles - Pg 61

Each beneficiary must ensure open access (free of charge, online

access for any user) to all peer-reviewed scientific publications

relating to its results. Each beneficiary must, as soon as possible

and at the latest upon publication, deposit a machine-readable

electronic copy of the published version or final peer-reviewed

manuscript accepted for publication in a repository for scientific

publications. Moreover, the beneficiary must aim to deposit at the

same time the research data needed to validate the results presented

in the deposited scientific publications. Each beneficiary must

ensure open access to the deposited publication - via the repository -

at the latest on publication, if an electronic version is available

for free via the publisher, or within six months of

publication (twelve months of publication for publications in the

social sciences and humanities in any other case.)

Data - Pg 62 (this is optional)

Deposit in a research data repository and take measures to make it

possible for third parties to access, mine, exploit, reproduce and

disseminate - free of charge for any user - the following: (i)the

data, including associated metadata needed to validate the results

presented in scientific publications as soon as possible; (ii)other

data, including associated metadata, as specified and within the

deadlines laid down in the "data management plan" (see Annex 1);

(b)provide information - via the repository - about tools and

instruments at the disposal of the beneficiaries and necessary for

validating the results (and where possible, provide the tools and

instruments themselves.
