Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR)<br>
<a href="http://www.coar-repositories.org/" target="_blank">http://www.coar-repositories.org/</a> has formed a Task Force for “Open<br>
Access Agreements and Licenses” with members representing both the<br>
repository community as well as the licensing community (see below for<br>
a current list of members).<br>
<br>
The purpose of the Task Force is to improve access to research papers<br>
globally, and the desired outcomes are:<br>
<br>
• Review existing agreements and licenses<br>
<br>
• Assessment of efficacy and value of various licenses and agreements<br>
<br>
• Recommendations and best practices for creating and adopting OA<br>
agreements and licenses<br>
<br>
• Communication plan for distributing and promoting recommendations<br>
<br>
We are now turning to you members of the liblicense mailing list to<br>
ask for your help in collecting different versions of open access<br>
clauses (e.g. author rights, self-archiving, parallel publication,<br>
compensation for Open Access material etc.) from your existing<br>
licenses, and also samples of agreements with gold open access<br>
publishers. Please send your replies to <a href="mailto:anna.lunden@kb.se">anna.lunden@kb.se</a>.<br>
<br>
We aim to have our preliminary results available in time for the ICOLC<br>
conference in Vienna in October, and look forward to having an<br>
opportunity to discuss them then!<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
