ROAR Registry of Open Access Repositories
ROARMAP Registry of Open Access Repository Material Archiving Policies
with model institutional policies of: CERN, U.Southampton, Queensland U. Technology, U. Minho, U. Zurich
Model funder policies for national and private research funders:
Stronger Funder Policy: pdf, html or doc (optimal policy)
Weaker Funder Policy: pdf, html or doc (preferable to no mandate, embargoed/delayed deposit, or contingent deposit)
[drafted collaboratively by Alma Swan, Arthur Sale, Subbiah Arunachalam, Peter Suber and Stevan Harnad by modifying the Wellcome Trust Self-Archiving Policy to eliminate the 6-month embargo and the central archiving requirement]
Institutional Risk Analysis
(drafted by Arthur Sale, U. Tasmania)
95% of authors will comply with institution/funder self-archiving mandate
(international author survey: JISC/Key Perspectives)
91% of journals already officially endorse author self-archiving
(Romeo registry of over 10,000 journal policies, 91% "green": SHERPA/Romeo -- plus over 3000 OA journals, 100% "gold": DOAJ)
The purpose of ROARMAP is to record the open-access policies of those institutions who are putting the principle of Open Access (as expressed by the Budapest Open Access Initiative and the Berlin Declaration) into practice as recommended by Berlin 3 (as well as the UK Government Science and Technology Committee).
Universities and research institutions who officially commit themselves to implementing a systematic policy of open-access provision for their own peer-reviewed research output are invited to describe their policy in ROARMAP.
Signing will
(1) record your own institution's commitment to providing open access to its own research output,
(2) help the research community measure its progress in providing open access worldwide,
and
(3) encourage further institutions to adopt open-access provision policies (so that your own institution's users can have access to the research output of other institutions as well).
|
For institutional record-keeping and performance-evaluation purposes and to maximize the visibility, accessibility, usage and impact of our institution's research output, our institution's researchers must deposit the final, peer-reviewed draft of all their journal articles into our institution's institutional repository immediately upon acceptance for publication |
This is to register the commitment by our institution
to adopt and implement an official institutional
mandate
to provide open access (immediate, permanent, toll-free,
full-text online access, for all would-be users webwide) to
the peer-reviewed research article output of our institution.
