OA Self-Archiving Policy: University of Turin: Department of Social Sciences

The University of Turin Department of Social Sciences adopted an OA mandate. Instead of applying to all new work published by department faculty, it applies to all work funded by the department. Excerpt: "DSS academic staff members believe that the output of our scholarly activities should be as widely disseminated and openly available as possible both for ethical and social responsibility reasons. It is our policy to publish all scientific works financed by the DSS in AperTO, the Institutional Repository at the University of Turin, that is intended as a comprehensive database of the researchers’ scientific production (articles, books, book chapters, patents, theses, proceedings)."
