... During the preparing of NSL-IR operation, we drafted related archiving policies, guidebooks,
and other mechanisms, which can be divided into 3 levels. Firstly, it is the basic principles and
archiving policy. NSL adopted the mandate policy, which mandates the NSL members to
archive the article to the NSL-IR 1 month after the article was published. The articles submitted
by the NSL members will be one of the main evidences and references for the members’ final
year performance evaluation, which impacts on the salaries and other treatments of the faculties
and staffs. The archiving policy also stipulates the dissemination principles and the mission of
NSL-IR. Secondly, it is the related addendums. We drafted series of addendums, including
Copyright License Addendums, Conference achievements hosted by NSL Archiving License,
Journals hosted by NSL Archiving License. For the CAS institutes whose articles published in
foreign journals, we also translated and edited the RoMEO Guidebook to introduce the foreign
publishers’ copyright licenses to CAS scientists. Thirdly, it is operational guidebooks, including
the procedure of IR operation and IR system handbook. We provide the detailed documents of
the IR operation procedure to the institute libraries, which are the IR operational department in
the CAS institutes. Also, we edit many kinds of system handbook, for the users, administrators,
and policy maker, with both the simple version and the detailed version. ...
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.
