Against Publisher Deposit in Institutional Repositories
Amsciforum 2013-04-04
Summary:
It is a much more effective and far-sighted strategy for institutions to adopt effective, systematic, verifiable institutional OA self-archiving mandates (reinforced by funder mandates) than to be drawn into any side-deals with publishers, whether OA publishers or subscription publishers. To do so is a Trojan Horse of a Faustian Bargain (take your pick of metaphors!).
