<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Dear all,<br>
<br>
I presume the scheme, after polishing and refinement, will be
implemented as a data base of a web tool, and funders and
universities/research centres will be treated by separate, as we have
done in the OA policies directory, <a href="http://www.accesoabierto.net/politicas/default.php" target="_blank">MELIBEA</a>
, for years (see our scheme and form to suggest a new policy for <a href="http://www.accesoabierto.net/politicas/nueva.php?directorio=politicas&version=&group=Instituci%F3n%20acad%E9mica/investigadora" target="_blank">institutional
</a>and <a href="http://www.accesoabierto.net/politicas/nueva.php?directorio=politicas&version=&group=Entidad%20financiadora" target="_blank">funder</a>
entities), by the way missed in the background of the OA policy schema.
I will contact directly for specific comments with the PASTEUR4OA
parterns.<br>

<p style="margin:0px;font-size:14px;font-family:Times;color:rgb(68,68,68)">There
are now many OA policies, from research funders and universities,
listed in <a href="http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/juliet/" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0,54,89)">Sherpa/Juliet</span></a> and <a href="http://roarmap.eprints.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(159,159,159)">ROARMAP</span></a>. This can lead
to some confusion, especially for an author who is subject to more than
one, neatly illustrated in a slide used by John Norman of Cambridge at
an <a href="http://www.alpsp.org/Ebusiness/ProductCatalog/1405MRO.aspx?ID=395" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0,54,89)">ALPSP seminar</span></a> earlier this

8). While potential alignment of policies is an ambition of the EC <a href="http://www.pasteur4oa.eu/" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0,54,89)">PASTEUR4OA project</span></a>, and
there are specific calls for some alignment between RCUK and REF OA
policies in the UK, a first step might be simply to have policies
expressed in a relatively consistent way.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:14px;font-family:Times;color:rgb(68,68,68);min-height:18px"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:14px;font-family:Times;color:rgb(68,68,68)">It
turns out that this is not as straightforward as it might sound. A
group of us, including Alma Swan, Stevan Harnad, Bill Hubbard, Mafalda
Picarra and myself, have been working on a draft schema for a while
now. It remains a draft, and we are very interested in feedback on it. <a href="http://scholarlycommunications.jiscinvolve.org/wp/files/2014/12/Proposed-schema-for-OA-policies-20141117.docx" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0,54,89)">Proposed schema for OA policies 20141117</span></a>
[MS Word]. There is a balance to be struck, between precise
description, complexity of expression, and difficulty in actually using
the schema. While the draft is quite long, we think that – on the basis
of an analysis of a range of real OA policies – it needs to be long, to
avoid too much ambiguity. And, of course, the schema would only need to
be filled out when a policy were issued or revised, which we hope would
not be too often.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:14px;font-family:Times;color:rgb(68,68,68);min-height:18px"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:14px;font-family:Times;color:rgb(68,68,68)">Anyway,
we are now asking for feedback, both via comments on this blog post,
and more directly in some cases. We hope, at the very least, that the
schema will provide a framework for a systematic and informed debate on
where and why policies differ.</p>
