[Insight-users] OPEN ACCESS: UCLA provides support for authors to communicate to publishers

[Luis Ibanez]

 From the NITRC-open-discussion forum:


UCLA provides support letter for authors to communicate to publishers


     http://www.ucop.edu/raohome/cgmemos/08-05a.pdf


The document quotes the basic requirements of the
NIH Public Access policy and adds to the publisher:


   "...By accepting this manuscript, you agree to accept
    these terms [NIH PAP] and agree that they are paramount
    and supersede any provisions in any publication agreement
    for this article, already signed or to be signed at a
    later date, that may conflict."



Note that by accepting NIH funding you and your institution
are subject to the requirements of the NIH Public Access
policy. If your university have not yet provided you with
similar letters of support/clarification, this is a good
moment to raise the issue to your administrators.


Note that the NIH Public Access policy entered into
effect on April 8 2008.



[Thanks to Jack Van Horn for providing this pointer.]
