2002-2010 Open Access mandate growth

The final picture for the adoption of mandatory OA policies for 2010 is now available. The graph showing the cumulative growth of mandates over the last 9 years can be found on the EOS (Enabling Open Scholarship) site here: http://bit.ly/dyWWaA and on the OASIS site here: http://bit.ly/bgy1Ob. From early 2011 the graph will be generated automatically by EPrints' ROARMAP service: http://roarmap.eprints.org It will be announced shortly when that site replaces http://www.eprints.org/openaccess/policysignup/ as the place to register new mandates by institutions, funders and departments as well as the place to find the up-to-date version of the graph for advocacy work. Finally, the growth of policies during open Access Week 2010 was monitored and is recorded here: http://bit.ly/anUWms and here: http://bit.ly/a4dynw.
