Re: Outcome of Berlin 3 at Southampton UK

Correction: I left out (although I had meant to include it!) that part of
recommendation (2) to encourage publishing in OA journals when a suitable
one exists was also the recommendation to help fund it!

Here is the exact wording of the provisional recommendation that we agreed
on, from Andy Gass's (PLoS) laptop, on which it was collectively
keystroked!

A more complete report on Berlin 3 will appear in D-Lib and (another
version) on the American Scientist Open Access Forum.

For your records, the powerpoint file on my computer reads: 

In order to implement the Berlin Declaration institutions should

1) Implement a policy to require their researchers to deposit a copy of
all their published articles in an open access repository.

and

2) Encourage their researchers to publish their research articles in open
access journals where a suitable journal exists and provide the support to
enable that to happen.
