Here is an important (and very welcome) correction from Eloy Rodrigues: On Jun 19, 2014, at 7:47 AM, Eloy Rodrigues <eloy—sdum—uminho--pt> wrote: > Hi Stevan, > > The CAS mandate is for immediate deposit: > CAS requires its researchers and graduate students to > deposit an electronic version of the final, peer-reviewed manuscripts of ↵ their research articles, > resulted from any public funded scientific research projects, > submitted and consequently published in academic journals > after the issuing of this policy, into the open access repositories > of their respective institutes at the time the article is published, > to be made publicly available within 12 months of the official data of ↵ publication. > > And CAS already has a network of IRs.

It requires only a server and a few ↵ hours worth of set-up time and the repository is ready for deposits. There is ↵ no reason whatsoever to wait two years. It would also be sensible to have ↵ distributed local repositories — at universities and research institutions — ↵ rather than just one central one. Each institution can easily set up its own ↵ repository. All repositories are interoperable and if and when desired, their ↵ contents can be automatically exported to or harvested by central repositories. > > (2) Although an OA embargo of 12 months is allowed, China should mandate ↵ that deposit itself must be immediate(immediately upon acceptance for ↵ publication). Access to the deposit can be set as closed access instead of OA ↵ during the embargo if desired, but EPrints and DSpace repositories have the ↵ “Request-Copy” Button for closed-access deposits so that individual users can ↵ request and authors can provide an individual copy for research purposes with ↵ one click each. The repository automatically emails the copy if the author ↵ clicks Yes. > > Stevan Harnad > > > On Wed, Jun 18, 2014 at 5:04 AM, Richard Poynder <richard.poynder AT ↵ btinternet.com> wrote: > On May 15 both the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the National ↵ Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) announced new open access policies. > > Both funders’ policies require that all papers resulting from funded ↵ projects must be deposited in online repositories and made publicly accessible ↵ within 12 months of publication — a model pioneered by the US National ↵ Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2008, when it introduced its influential Public ↵ Access Policy. > > As a result of the new Chinese policies there will be a significant ↵ increase in the number of research papers freely available, not least because ↵ it comes at a time when the number of papers published by Chinese researchers ↵ is growing rapidly.
