Implementing Open Access Funders’ Policies | Repositories Support Project

There were eight presentations, which explored issues related to open access funders’ policies, and discussed: the Finch report, RCUK policy, the Wellcome Trust’s policy, Creative Commons with a focus on the CC-BY, the Research Excellence Framework (REF), green and gold open access, mandated  policies and how to comply with them, and metadata interoperability. All presentations were interesting and engaging, raising some pertinent questions and ‘food for thought;’ I was personally especially enchanted by Frederick Friend’s delivery and content, which was positive, encouraging and motivating with a very ‘can do’ emphasis throughout for IR managers.
