France's Héloise Directory of Publisher Policies on Author Open Access Self-Archiving
Amsciforum 2013-03-10
Summary:
The current Héloise site makes a travesty out of the meaning of a green tick! (It can mean an embargo of 5 years!)
I suggest that the coding be a green tick only for those publishers or journals that give their green light to immediate OA. (A pale green tick could, optionally, indicate that the publisher or journal gives its green light to immediate OA for unrefereed preprints.) If there is an embargo, its length can be stated (with a red X).
