ALPSP and academics fight it out over RCUK IR rules. Letter-writing battle reveals differences over funding council repository mandate.(Research Council UK, institutional repositories)(Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers)(Brief Article)
Byline: Mark Chillingworth.
Academics and society publishers have clashed over a potential mandate by the Research Council UK (RCUK) in support of institutional repositories. Senior academics, including web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee, have written an open letter to RCUK denying claims made by society publishers that the mandate will kill off journal publishing.
In June, the RCUK announced a proposal for all its funded papers to be deposited in institutional repositories for free access.
If the mandate is passed, all research grants awarded by the RCUK after 1 October 2005 would demand that the paper is deposited in an institutional repository immediately.
The letter to the RCUK was signed by Sir Berners-Lee, open access advocate Professor Stevan Harnad and academics at the Universities of Cambridge, Loughborough and Sheffield.
