1. Compliance is certainly an issue for NIH, until the deposit rate is at or
near 100%
2. Deposit rate is nowhere near 100% for two reasons:
2a. Mixed publisher and fundee deposit instead of institutionally
monitored fundee deposit
2b. Central deposit instead of institutionally monitored
institutional deposit.
