COAR has formed a Task Force for “Open Access Agreements and Licenses”

COAR is currently working on agreements and licences for open access publications by collecting different versions of already existing licences through an open call: participate by writing to Anna Luden (see email below).

Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR)  has formed a Task Force for “Open Access Agreements and Licenses” with members representing both the repository community as well as the licensing community. (…) They are now collecting different versions of open access clauses (e.g. author rights, self-archiving, parallel publication, compensation for Open Access material etc.) from your existing licenses, and also samples of agreements with gold open access publishers. Please send your replies to anna.lunden@kb.se .
