Norwegian government considers an OA mandate OA mandate forthcoming in Norway? Co-Action Publishing, June 30, 2008. An English summary of this June 2 document from the Norwegian government. Excerpt:
Comment. There's a good chance that Norway will end up adopting an OA mandate. The government is asking advice from the Norwegian Research Council, which created an OA working group last fall and is now working on an OA position paper. The government is also asking advice from the Norwegian Association of Higher Education Institutions, which joined SCOAP3 in January 2008, and submitted a pro-OA comment (in English) to the EC in June 2006, calling on the EC to provide OA to publicly-funded research and revealing that it had already called on its own member institutions to adopt local OA policies.
