[Irtalk] Caltech Adopts Open Access Policy for Scholarly Writing -- Campus Technology

[Hilton Gibson]

With the beginning of the new year, California Institute of Technology
(Caltech) has implemented a new open-access policy for the scholarly
writing done by its faculty. As decided by the faculty, starting on January
1, 2014, all members must agree to grant nonexclusive rights to Caltech to
disseminate their scholarly papers. The goal is to encourage wider
distribution of their work and simplify the copyright process when posting
research on faculty or institutional Web sites.
