* Announcement (cross-posted) *
I just mailed the August issue of the SPARC Open Access
Newsletter. This issue --my 100th-- takes a close look at
10
lessons drawn from five major funder OA policies or
proposals
(NIH, Wellcome Trust, RCUK, CURES, and FRPAA). The Top
Stories
section takes a brief look at the OA practices of the
Canadian
Breast Cancer Research Alliance, the OA-oriented Rice
University
Press and MediaCommons, the new Gates Foundation
data-sharing
requirement, the provost letter in support of FRPAA, and
continuing news and comment on the new RCUK policy.
