Mandates: An Australian example at the Queensland University of Technology

Connotea Imports 2012-07-31

Summary:

Cochrane is the Vice Chancellor of Queensland University of Technology. From the conclusion: "Work carried out by Arthur Sale some time ago showed unequivocally that having a mandate in place makes all the difference in the success of development of institutional repositories....To this we can now add sufficient evidence of momentum throughout the university to be able to claim that the open access mandate at QUT has contributed to the growing dynamism and health of research generally. While this may seem unremarkable to long standing champions and advocates of open access in the research community (and indeed it is unremarkable) it may be a show-starting argument for those who have seen the consideration of open access languishing as a tenth order conversation in their universities.
