[Irtalk] “Nudging” researchers toward Gold Open Access will delay the shift to wider access of research - ePrints Soton

[Hilton Gibson]

*UK research is being conceived by the UK Government as if it were
primarily an investment in the journal publishing industry rather than in
research productivity and impact, argues Stevan Harnad.* Since the new UK
open access policy was announced, more and longer embargoes have been
adopted by publishers. Rather than a focus on revenue streams, more
attention should be placed on institutional adoption of a mechanism for
verifying compliance with the OA policy, and in particular, its Green
archiving option.
