From: Heather Morrison <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2012 15:10:11 -0700 Just released: the March 31, 2012 issue of the Dramatic Growth of Open Access. This issue of DGOA focuses on selected indications of success (or lack thereof) of funding agencies' open access policies. Compliance rates are far from 100% for any agency. There is some modest evidence of a transformative effect beyond the policy. On the other hand, the impact of policy per se, if any, is not clear. It is suggested that beyond policy, perhaps other measures such as assertive implementation of policy, are necessary to OA growth. http://poeticeconomics.blogspot.ca/2012/04/impact-of-funding-agency-open-access.html best, Heather Morrison, MLIS Doctoral Candidate, Simon Fraser University School of Communication http://pages.cmns.sfu.ca/heather-morrison/ The Imaginary Journal of Poetic Economics http://poeticeconomics.blogspot.com
