Open Access Institutional Policy at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (Open University of Catalonia, UOC)
On 6th October 2010 the Governing Council, approved the Open Access Institutional Policy at the UOC. The Vice President for Research and Innovation delegated the design of a proposal to the UOC Library. The OA mandate requires the staff of the University to deposit in open access in order to collect all the scientific and educational output produced within the University. Open access means online, free, immediate and permanent access to the full text of a scientific or academic article, presentation, paper....
The distinctive features of the UOC policy are the integration of all the communities of the University, taking into account research, teaching and management staff as well as bearing in mind all the document types generated within the university.
The action plan for Open Access in Catalonia, approved by the Consell Interuniversitari de Catalunya (Inter‐university Council of Catalonia, CIC), has marked 2012 as a key date, from which “the processes in research project evaluation, lecturer accreditation, research evaluation (six‐yearly increments) and internal promotion competitions will only take into account publications included in an Open Access repository”.
