<div>Dear Colleagues</div>
<div>I'm very pleased to advise that UWC Senate has approved an OA Policy. It will be passed by Council at towards the end of the month.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The language of the policy is fairly strong and is backed up with a legal Addendum (thanks for input from Wits, Denise!). On the downside, publishers are able to request a 12 month embargo before full texts are made available.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>From the attached policy:</div>
<div>"The UWC Addendum to Publication Agreement (Annexure 1), that gives effect to this commitment on the part of the university, must be completed by all first author researchers upon acceptance of their article for publication and serves as the written notice of the agreement by the publisher".</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"Upon acceptance of a scholarly research output for publication, a UWC researcher is required to register with the Research Repository and deposit an author final version of the research output into the Repository."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Clearly, implementation will not be straight forward. Nevertheless, we've been pushing the message fairly consistently for 4-5 years now, so I"m hoping that this policy can help self-archiving to become internalised on our campus.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It will be registered at RoarMap too.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is another step forward for us in SA!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards</div>
<div>Allison</div>
