[GOAL] 3-Year Success Signs for MIT's Green OA Mandate

[Stevan Harnad]

Three years after the adoption of its Green Open Access Self-Archiving
Mandate -- http://roarmap.eprints.org/122/ -- MIT announces that its
articles are being downloaded worldwide:
http://libraries.mit.edu/sites/news/faculty-articles-2/7941/

(To draw any comparative conclusions, however, comparative data will
be needed, for download rates from institutions with comparable
research outputs and prestige, but without OA mandates. Raw download
stats are otherwise just the sound of one hand clapping...)
