GOAL: Fred Friend on UK's Misguided Gold OA Bias

While the UK Government and Government-funded agencies are content to leave repositories in their partially-developed state and pour taxpayer funds into APC-funded gold OA, many UK universities remain as committed to their institutional repositories as they were before the Finch Report... the UK Government's misguided policy in prioritising APC-funded gold OA at the cost of supporting green OA is unlikely to be followed by other governments wishing to maintain balanced policies.
