SPARC Europe publishes an interview with Paul Ayris (pdf) of UCL (University College London) on author’s copyright. An enlightening review for the newcomer.
I should add some precisions to item 13, though: whatever the requirements of the publisher, when the Institution to which the author belongs mandates immediate deposit in the Institutional Repository, it is the latter requirement that prevails. This is done in full accordance with the publisher’s requirements: keep in closed access during the embargo period (most publishers nowadays agree on an immediate open access to articles — let’s set books aside here —, several of them agree on a six-month period, some require a full year, see the list and conditions for each in SHERPA-Romeo). In this case, access is not open but the work can be consulted on demand. In the mean time, it is stored and catalogued in the Institutional Repository, which is essential. Answer to question 13 can thus be more complete.
Excellent! In Brazil we are beginning … some Brazilian universities are walking on the initiative and the establishment of OA mandates immediate. Consider it indispensable to the existence of institutional policy for immediate inclusion in a institição of teaching and research as the National School of Public Health / Fiocruz. We implemented our IR and are working on the mandate and roles.Atualmente there much discussion of item 13 and on the inclusion and type of assignment of copyright contracts. I believe that observation of the item 13 can be answer one. Thanks.

In Brazil we are in the beginning of the process … some brazilian universities are starting on the initiative and in the establishment of OA mandates. I consider that it’s really primordial the existence of institutional mandates for deposit, mainly in a institution of education and research as the National School of Public Health / Fiocruz (attached to the Brazilian Ministry of Health and the most prominent science and technology health institution in Latin America). Here, we developed our IR and now we are working on the mandates and roles. Recently, there are many discussions related in the “item 13” and about the deposit and the type of assignment of copyright contracts. I believe that the observation of the item 13 can help us in one of the subjects that we are discussing during some moths. Thanks.
