[GOAL] Re: Seeking some information on OA in Peru

[Danny Kingsley]

Thank you to all of the people who have responded to my query about the Peru open access policy. It sounds like there is great momentum in the region which is excellent - and a coordinated process for harvesting materials from repositories.

I am intending to add the following to the Australian Open Access Support Group (AOASG) webpage 'Statements about OA in Australia and the World' - http://aoasg.org.au/statements-on-oa-in-australia-the-world/

If I have mis-represented the situation please let me know.

Thanks

Danny

Peru Congress passes OA legislation - March 2013

Peru Congress has passed legislation (http://www2.congreso.gob.pe/sicr/comisiones/2012/com2012ciencia.nsf/0/cb7c863ded37261e05257b3b007c029c/$FILE/1188_Sustitutoria_27MAR2013.pdf)  to establish the legal and regulatory framework for an Open Access National Digital Repository for output from publicly funded science, technology and innovation activities. The legislation states deposit is mandatory for any research output (articles, technical reports, doctoral thesis, books, book chapters, software, data and others) from projects funded by the Government. The legislation requires deposit of metadata and a copy of the work into the National Digital Repository. The work is to be made available after observation of any embargo period (without specifying periods). The details of the law are available (in Spanish): http://www.slideshare.net/ernestoq1973/proyecto-de-ley-repositorio-digital-de-acceso-abierto-de-ciencia-tecnologa-e-innovacin
