Subject: Open Access mandates growth
To: AMERICAN-SCIENTIST-OPEN-ACCESS-FORUM -- listserver.sigmaxi.org

The final picture for the adoption of mandatory OA policies for 2010 is now
available. The graph showing the cumulative growth of mandates over the last
9 years can be found on the EOS (Enabling Open Scholarship) site here:
http://bit.ly/dyWWaA  and on the OASIS site here: http://bit.ly/bgy1Ob.

>From early 2011 the graph will be generated automatically by
EPrints' ROARMAP service: http://roarmap.eprints.org

It will be announced shortly when that site replaces
 http://www.eprints.org/openaccess/policysignup/ as the place to register
new mandates by institutions, funders and departments as well as the place
to find the up-to-date version of the graph for advocacy work.

Finally, the growth of policies during open Access Week 2010 was monitored
and is recorded here: http://bit.ly/anUWms and here: http://bit.ly/a4dynw.
