Notice Number: NOT-OD Revised Policy on Enhancing Public Access to Archived Publications Resulting from NIH-Funded Research gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD html

Notice Number: NOT-OD Much more helpful information found here:

When? Who will do it? Reporting?

Beware! There are rumors of hidden costs (i.e. Springer deposits a copy in PubMed Central, but charges for posting other copies).

Beware! Bottom line: Under the new NIH policy, grantees must reserve the right to comply with the policy whenever they publish a journal article based on their research. Hence, they never need to pay a publisher for permission to comply with the NIH policy. On the other hand, some publishers may well refuse to publish work by NIH-funded authors unless the authors pay a fee. The fee wouldn't pay for permission to comply with the NIH policy, which is already assured, but for publication in the journal….

Beware! Understand the fine print. SPARC, and the author’s addendum, is a good resource:

Open Access: everyone's doing it: coming to a college campus near you! AT a college campus near you!

Open Access: UO passed a similar resolution: 078/US html AT a college campus near you!

What the UO resolution means for you …it's not so much a response to Harvard as the fruit of an independent, simultaneous consideration of the same underlying policy issues. But the Harvard vote, along with the Oregon vote and the dozen or so preceding university-level OA mandates, will undoubtedly inspire similar actions in time. Kudos to all at Oregon who made this happen. …What's missing is a policy to encourage or require them to make the deposits or a policy (such as Harvard's) for the university to make the deposits on its own. Permission for OA archiving is far from OA archiving itself. I hope the new working committee (under C.b) will supply the crucial, missing piece of the policy.
