[Irtalk] Open and Shut?: HEFCE, Elsevier, the “copy request” button, and the future of open access

[Hilton Gibson]

*The ID/OA mandate combined with the “copy request” button, explains
Harnad, was “specifically formulated” to ensure that providing immediate
access to papers is “immune from any delays or embargoes (based on
publisher policy or copyright restrictions).”*

Over the past nine years green OA advocates have advocated tirelessly for
institutions and funders to introduce ID/OA mandates, and for institutional
repositories to implement the “copy request” button. They also recommend
that, in order to ensure compliance, mandates should be tied to the
evaluation procedures used by the institution’s promotion and tenure
committee.
