The Autonomous Community Government of Madrid adopted an OA policy, apparently an OA mandate, in May 2008. Last month it formalized the mandate in its official research regulations, February 19, 2009. Acceso abierto a la información científica has posted the relevant excerpt, which makes clear that the new policy is a mandate. (Thanks to Eloy Rodrigues.) Read it in Spanish or Google's English. The policy requires Madrid-funded researchers to deposit the final versions of their articles in their institutional repository. It permits a delay on deposit (not just on OA) of six months for STM research and 12 months for SSH research. Updates (3/30/09).
