Russia's three institutional OA mandates

Iryna Kuchma reports that there are three institutional OA mandates in Russia:

(1) The first, at the Central Economics and Mathematics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, is not new. Its mandate was adopted in 2007.

But the other two are new, at least for OAN:

(2) Vologda scientific-coordination center of the Central Economics and Mathematics Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences. This center is a regional branch of the Institute above, but administratively independent. It was not covered by the 2007 OA policy and saw the need to adopt its own.

(3) Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics, within the Russian Academy of Sciences.

All three institutions use Socionet as their institutional repository. All three are affiliated with the Russian Academy of Sciences.

PS: I don't yet have dates of adoption, English translations, or links to the texts. But I hope to be able to post them soon.

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.

Why the OAN volume has been low since January 16, 2010

Why I curtailed my blogging on July 1, 2009

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.
