<Apologies for cross posting>

The period since the middle of 2012 has seen a flurry of statements
on, and policies about, open access from some heavy hitters. Indeed
there have been quite a few in the past two months.

The AOASG's new webpage "Statements on OA in the world & Australia"
http://aoasg.org.au/statements-on-oa-in-australia-the-world/ lists
these statements with a description of what the policy says, some
relevant links and a short explanation about what the implications
might be for the policy.

Our intention is to keep this list updated, particularly relating to
the changing situation in Australia. A list of the policies covered is
below.
