[BOAI] OA policies models

[Reme Melero]

(I apologize for crosspostings)

Dear friends,

In the last NECOBELAC <http://www.necobelac.er> training for trainers 
course there was a special interest for institutional open access 
policies, and how to start to create a new one. As examples were 
recommended the Harvard's model 
<http://osc.hul.harvard.edu/modelpolicy>, the one in eprints Handbook 
<http://www.eprints.org/documentation/handbook/departments.php>, and the 
"optimal policy"  recommended in OASIS 
<http://www.openoasis.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=148&Itemid=340> 
and EOS. I take this opportunity to recall that MELIBEA 
<http://www.accesoabierto.net/politicas/> is an international directory  
to search and browse OA policies set out by academic/research 
institutions and funders (it does not include mandate of theses). 
Regarding the version announced in 2010, MELIBEA has implemented early 
this year  changes to better tailor our "OA estimation model" based on 
some variables extracted form the policy terms. MELIBEA was also used to 
show how wording can affect the  effectiveness of the policy. I'd 
appreciate any comment on that and also if it  there might be some 
error, please contact me (Note: the graphics still have to be optimized).
Cheers

Reme
