Ameliorating MELIBEA's Open Access Policy Evaluator

Amsciforum 2013-03-10

Summary:

The MELIBEA evaluator of Open Access policies could prove useful in shaping OA mandates -- but it still needs a good deal of work. Currently it conflates institutional and funder policies and criteria, mixes green and gold OA criteria, color-codes in an arbitrary and confusing way, and needs to validate its weights (e.g., against policy success criteria such as the percentage and growth rate of annual output deposited since the policy was adopted).
