ROARMAP: Oregon State University Adopts Green OA Mandate

An Open Access policy was unanimously approved by the Oregon State University Faculty Senate at the June 2013 meeting. The policy grants Oregon State University a non-exclusive license to exercise any and all rights under copyright relating to its faculty's scholarly articles, in any medium, and to authorize others to do the same, provided that the articles are not sold for a profit. The policy further directs faculty to submit an electronic copy of the accepted (post-peer review, pre-typeset) manuscript of their articles to OSU Libraries for dissemination via its institutional repository.
