[Irtalk] Policy Design and Implementation Monitoring for Open Access | PLOS Opens

[Hilton Gibson]

*We know that those Open Access policies that work are the ones that have
teeth.* Both institutional and funder policies work better when tied to
reporting requirements. The success of the University of Liege in filling
its repository is in large part due to the fact that works not in the
repository do not count for annual reviews. Both the NIH and Wellcome
policies have seen substantial jumps in the proportion of articles reaching
the repository when grantees final payments or ability to apply for new
grants was withheld until issues were corrected.
