From: Andrea Higginbotham <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:42:23 -0400 In preparation for Open Access Week (October 22-28), we are issuing the final version today so that people can download and print it for their use next week and beyond. This resource outlines the core components of open access (e.g., reader rights, reuse rights, copyrights, author posting rights, etc.) across the continuum from “open access” to “restricted access”. Its aim is to help authors make informed decisions on where to publish based on journal policies. It also provides a resource for funders and other organizations to help establish criteria for the level of Open Access required for their policies and mandates. Please use re-use and pass along! http://www.plos.org/about/open-access/howopenisit/ Andrea -- Andrea Brusca Higginbotham Communications Manager, SPARC Washington, DC 20036 [log in to unmask] Open Access Week 2012 October 22-28 http://www.openaccessweek.org/
