[GOAL] GOAL Digest, Vol 66, Issue 23

Tue May 23 12:22:44 BST 2017

Thanks Richard,

Yes this is a big question that needs to be addressed across the sector. The University has recently published an updated OA policy framework which will help inform any decisions in this area http://osc.cam.ac.uk/open-access/open-access-policies/cambridge-open-access-policy-framework <http://osc.cam.ac.uk/open-access/open-access-policies/cambridge-open-access-policy-framework>

There is no appetite to support hybrid open access charges.

Regards

Danny
