From: Danny Kingsley <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2013 03:36:53 +0000 <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.
