[GOAL] New resource - recent statements on OA in the world & Australia

[Danny Kingsley]

<Apologies for cross posting>

The period since the middle of 2012 has seen a flurry of statements on, and policies about, open access from some heavy hitters. Indeed there have been quite a few in the past two months.

The AOASG's new webpage "Statements on OA in the world & Australia" http://aoasg.org.au/statements-on-oa-in-australia-the-world/ lists these statements with a description of what the policy says, some relevant links and a short explanation about what the implications might be for the policy.

Our intention is to keep this list updated, particularly relating to the changing situation in Australia. A list of the policies covered is below.
