Subject: Open Access mandates 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.

Fromearly 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:
