* Announcement (cross-posted) *
I just mailed the August issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter. This
issue --my 100th-- takes a close look at 10 lessons drawn from five major
funder OA policies or proposals (NIH, Wellcome Trust, RCUK, CURES, and
FRPAA). The Top Stories section takes a brief look at the OA practices of
the Canadian Breast Cancer Research Alliance, the OA-oriented Rice
University Press and MediaCommons, the new Gates Foundation data-sharing
requirement, the provost letter in support of FRPAA, and continuing news
and comment on the new RCUK policy.
