University policies
Starting to grow Mostly mandatory The simplicity of the immediate deposit / later
OA formula means more are adopting this Where have the mandates been happening? UK, Australia, Finland, France, Spain, Brazil,
India …. US: Harvard and Stanford: significant because
these are REAL ‘bottom-up’ policies
Key Perspectives Ltd
What should we do next?

Australia’s lead
“The arguments for stepping out first on open access are the same as the arguments for stepping out first on emissions trading – the more willing we are to show leadership on this, we more chance we have of persuading other countries to reciprocate.”
Kim Carr Minister for Industry, Innovation, Science and Research, Australia
Key Perspectives Ltd
What should we do next?
Continue the efforts to persuade: At government level (e.g. Brazil) At funder level (e.g. research councils, national
funding agencies) At institutional level
