[BOAI] HowOpenIsIt? Guide Released

[Andrea Higginbotham]

In preparation for Open Access Week (October 22-28), we are issuing the
final version today so that people can download and print it for their use
next week and beyond. This resource outlines the core components of open
access (e.g., reader rights, reuse rights, copyrights, author posting
rights, etc.) across the continuum from “open access” to “restricted
access”.  Its aim is to help authors make informed decisions on where to
publish based on journal policies. It also provides a resource for funders
and other organizations to help establish criteria for the level of Open
Access required for their policies and mandates.

Please use re-use and pass along!
