... CBS and the faculty at CBS are committed to disseminating the results of its research and scholarship as widely as possible.
To fulfill that commitment CBS is adopting an Open access policy that provide[s] open access to full-text versions of all scholarly papers and articles written by its faculty. ...
As a consequence of this policy CBS faculty shall routinely grant to CBS a [limited, non-exclusive] license to place in a non-commercial open-access online repository (OpenArchive@CBS) the faculty member's scholarly work published in a scholarly journal or conference proceedings. ...
In the event a faculty member is required to assign all or a part of his or her copyright rights in such scholarly work to a publisher as part of a publication agreement, the faculty member shall retain in the publication agreement the right to grant the foregoing license to CBS.
Faculty may opt out of this policy for any specific work or invoke a specified delay before such work appears in an open-access repository in accordance with the opt-out mechanism set forth below. ...
CBS is committed to providing the necessary technical, organizational and non-material support that will help the open access policy to be implemented in the best way. ...
The [actual] archiving of the individual document is done by the library as part of the process of research registration, where the library will contact the researchers to get a full text version of the articles. ...
The faculty is encouraged to choose the best possible publication channel for their research results in terms of readership, but they are required to demand that publishers grant them the right to further use of their own work in teaching, collaboration with fellow scholars and open access depositing. ...
If an embargo is required by the publishing house an embargo period of up to one year may be respected. ...
The articles not archived [via the opt-out] must be registered in OpenArchive@CBS with bibliographical information, a short [abstract] and information about publication channel. ...
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.
