From: Klaus Graf <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2012 13:04:27 +0200 I do not think it is helpful to discuss such minor points. It is clear enough that OA mandates refer to the scholarly output (in the field of science and arts/humanities) of an institution. Mandates are self-obligations, not legal texts. I cannot find that "final version" is'nt clear. If the "version of record" can be used it can be deposited - otherwise only the "final draft" (version after peer review if a peer review was performed). So there is no doubt that this is an Green OA approach.
