You also may find it useful to refer researchers on your campus to these resources provided by NIH:
List of journals that currently deposit articles in PMC on behalf of their authors
Article from NIH’s Office Extramural Research Newsletter outlining what the new policy means to NIH-funded investigators
As libraries and administrators explore local approaches to education and compliance, please keep in mind these additional helpful resources that are currently available:
The SPARC Author Addendum, which specifically enables authors to retain the rights they need to deposit articles in PMC after publication in a journal.
The Scholar’s Copyright Addendum Generator, from SPARC and Science Commons, which offers authors the choice of four different sets of rights in addenda that may be completed online.
The SPARC Author Rights Forum, a new, private discussion list where libraries can together explore the needs and opportunities that emerge as they consider how best to implement this policy. (To request membership, send any message to sparc-arforum-feed@arl.org). The list is moderated by Kevin Smith, JD, of Duke University Libraries.
A letter to SPARC Directors and Advocates pointing to these resources
The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
