Hi Diane,
Just to clarify, you mean the publisher's PDF? And authors who've reached out to publishers have gotten permission to post is where that's not the publisher's standard policy?
Very interesting. What would you say your success rate is?

Hi Katie.

My one comment is that I’d like to see a mention either on the workflow diagram or in the FAQ (or both) of the possibility of negotiating an author agreement to allow for deposit of the final ms in eScholarship. We’ve had some success doing this at UCLA.

Thank you,
Diane

Subject: [SPCKG] Proposed revisions to the OA Policy FAQ


Hello SP CKG,


When the Open Access Policy was adopted last summer, we worked with faculty and librarians to expand and adapt the existing UCSF Open Access Policy FAQ to the UC-wide policy, and posted it to the Reshaping Scholarly Communication site. We then migrated it to the new site OSC when it re-launched. We’ve now been fielding questions about the policy for several months and have been able to collect some data on which questions are actually the most frequently asked. A summary of that data can be found at the end of this message.


We’d like to use this information to launch a new, leaner FAQ that reflects the evolution of the OA Policy discussion over the past few years. This version has about half as many questions, and most of the answers are shorter. It directs people elsewhere on the OSC site for information on OA generally, and omits the questions that assume the reader is opposed to the policy - those folks are unlikely to read the FAQ, let alone be persuaded by it. And perhaps most helpful, it starts with a simple visual overview of the various paths faculty can take to participate in the policy. We had the pleasure of collaborating with the UCSF library and their graphic designer on this resource and can’t wait to see what faculty think.
