From: Sandy Thatcher <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2013 09:27:32 -0500 It's a little unclear whether this proposal is aimed at deposit and preservation of just Green OA or final published versions of articles. At one point the proposal talks about "peer reviewed and edited" versions as accepted for publication, but what kind of "editing" is meant here? Not clear that the reference is to the publisher's copyediting. Also, the proposal at another point mentions "preferably" the publisher's final version will be authorized to be deposited by a nonexclusive license provision in the publishing contract. That seems more like wishful thinking than a real directive. It's too bad the document did not adopt the NISO-recommended terminology for journal article versions and use it consistently. Much potential confusion would then have been avoided.
