Subject: CAS and NSFC issued OA policies

May 15, 2014, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the National Natural
Science Foundation of China (NSFC) both issued their Policy on Open Access
to Research Articles from Publicly Funded Research, during a briefing on
the coming Annual Meeting of the Global Research Council to be held in May
26-28, 2014, in Beijing, China.

CAS requires its researchers and graduate students to deposit the final,
peer-reviewed manuscripts of their research articles resulted from any
public funding, submitted and consequently published since the issuing of
the policy, into the open access repositories of their respective
institutes, to be made open access within 12 months of their official
publication. CAS also encourages researchers to deposit previously
published articles into their respective institutional repositories as
well. CAS will also support its researchers to publish in open access
journals with good quality control and affordable APC.

NSFC requires the researchers funded by it to deposit the final,
peer-reviewed manuscripts of research articles resulted from
its funding,  submitted and consequently published since the issuing of the
policy, into the NSFC open access repository, to be made open access within
12 months of their official publication in academic journals.
