<br>Many thanks to Bram Luyton for making the Request Copy native to DSpace as of December.<div><br></div><div>Please, those with influence over the implementation of the forthcoming OSTP OA Directive and the proposed FASTR and PAPS OA Mandates, inform the policy makers about the critical importance of making sure that the deposit requirement should be immediate (not just after embargoes have elapsed), that the deposit should be done by the fundee (and not the publisher!), and that the deposit should be in the fundee's institutional repository (not institution external: the deposit can then be exported automatically to whatever institution-external repositories desired).</div>
<div><br></div><div>The Button is one of the reasons immediate institutional deposit is so important:</div><div><br></div><div><b>1.</b> not only does immediate institutional deposit ensure that everything is deposited, at a specified, verifiable and natural date (the date of the acceptance letter)</div>
<div><br></div><div><b>2.</b> not only does it recruit the institution in monitoring and ensuring that the funding condition is fulfilled</div><div><br></div><div><b>3.</b> not only does it ensure that only one deposit ever needs to be done -- and is done by the party bound by the funding conditions (the fundee) and not a 3rd party whose interests are in conflict with it (the publisher)</div>
<div><br></div><div><b>4.</b> but the Button also makes it possible to provide Almost-OA during any embargo with just one extra click from the requestor and one extra click from the author (instead of nothing but toll-access till the embargo elapses).</div>
<div><br></div><div>If the OSTP, FASTR and PAP mandates are implemented as immediate institutional deposit mandates, together with the Button, they will work (and will be emulated globally), and we will have 100% OA very soon -- instead of again losing a half-decade to discover the hard way that depositing only after a one-year embargo will continue to hold research access, uptake and impact hostage to publisher embargoes and will help them lock it in for a long time to come.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Remember: access a year after publication is now a fait accompli, but it is not <b>Open Access</b>; it is just <b>Delayed Access</b>. And the first year is crucial to research progress in many fields -- and is never made up for if the research is released when the iron is no longer hot.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So the 1-year embargo is the one to beat. And immediate institutional deposit plus the Button is the way to beat it.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Stevan Harnad</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div class="gmail_quote">
