* Announcement (cross-posted) *
I just mailed the June issue of the SPARC Open Access
Newsletter.
This issue takes a close look at the calculations purporting
to
show that high-output research universities would pay more
in
author-side fees for OA journals than they pay now in
subscriptions for non-OA journals. It also takes a close
look at
Elsevier's new hybrid journals and the first month of news
since
the FRPAA was introduced into the US Senate. The Top
Stories
section takes a brief look at the OA bill before the German
Parliament, the national-level OA policies adopted or under
consideration in Australia, Finland, Sweden, and South
Africa,
the OA mandate at India's National Institute of Technology,
the
OA recommendation at Humbolt University Berlin, the launch
of new
repositories at a handful of institutions around the world,
and
Gunther Eysenbach's new study confirming the existence of
an OA
impact advantage.
