Cancer Research UK announces its OA mandate Cancer Research UK released its OA policy today. The CR-UK pledged to adopt an OA mandate back in January 2007, at the launch of UK PubMed Central (UKPMC). (It's a member of the UKPMC Funders Group and all members of the Funders Group pledged or adopted OA mandates.) But it took some time to deliberate and didn't announce its policy until today. Excerpt:
PS: The main page on the policy doesn't talk about timing, but the FAQ fills in the gap: "All deposited papers must be made freely accessible from the UKPMC as soon as possible, and in any event within six months of the journal publisher's official date of final publication." Kudos to all involved at CR-UK. |
