Ma in sostanza cosa dice la policy ?
O meglio in quale modello di policy si configura, intendo rispetto al
lavoro di analisi che è stato fatto da Roberto Caso...
Harvard? Liegi? ecc...

> The Academic Senate of the University of California has passed an Open
> Access Policy, ensuring that future research articles authored by faculty
> at all 10 campuses of UC will be made available to the public at no charge.
> “The Academic Council’s adoption of this policy on July 24, 2013, came
> after a six-year process culminating in two years of formal review and
> revision,” said Robert Powell, chair of the Academic Council. “Council’s
> intent is to make these articles widely—and freely— available in order to
> advance research everywhere.”  Articles will be available to the public
> without charge via eScholarship <http://www.escholarship.org> (UC’s open
> access repository) in tandem with their publication in scholarly journals.
> Open access benefits researchers, educational institutions, businesses,
> research funders and the public by accelerating the pace of research,
> discovery and innovation and contributing to the mission of advancing
> knowledge and encouraging new ideas and services.

> Chris Kelty, Associate Professor of Information Studies, UCLA, and chair
> of the UC University Committee on Library and Scholarly Communication
> (UCOLASC), explains, “This policy will cover more faculty and more
> research than ever before, and it sends a powerful message that faculty
> want open access and they want it on terms that benefit the public and the
> future of research.”
>
>
>
> The policy covers more than 8,000 UC faculty at all 10 campuses of the
> University of California, and as many as 40,000 publications a year.  It
> follows more than 175 other universities who have adopted similar so-called
> “green” open access policies.  By granting a license to the University of
> California prior to any contractual arrangement with publishers, faculty
> members can now make their research widely and publicly available, re-use
> it for various purposes, or modify it for future research publications.
> Previously, publishers had sole control of the distribution of these
> articles.  All research publications covered by the policy will continue to
> be subjected to rigorous peer review; they will still appear in the most
> prestigious journals across all fields; and they will continue to meet UC’s
> standards of high quality.  Learn more about the policy and its
> implementation here:
> http://osc.universityofcalifornia.edu/openaccesspolicy/
>
> UC is the largest public research university in the world and its faculty
> members receive roughly 8% of all research funding in the U.S.  With this
> policy UC Faculty make a commitment to the public accessibility of
> research, especially, but not only, research paid for with public funding
> by the people of California and the United States.  This initiative is in
> line with the recently announced White House Office of Science and
> Technology Policy (OSTP) directive requiring “each Federal Agency with over
> $100 million in annual conduct of research and development expenditures to
> develop a plan to support increased public access to results of the
> research funded by the Federal Government.” The new UC Policy also follows
> a similar policy passed in 2012 by the Academic Senate at the University of
> California, San Francisco, which is a health sciences campus.
>
> "The UC Systemwide adoption of an Open Access (OA) Policy represents a
> major leap forward for the global OA movement and a well-deserved return
> to taxpayers who will now finally be able to see first-hand the published
> byproducts of their deeply appreciated investments in research” said
> Richard A. Schneider, Professor, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and
> chair of the Com
> mittee on Library and Scholarly Communication at UCSF.   “The ten UC
> campuses generate around 2-3% of all the peer-reviewed articles published
> in the world every year, and this policy will make many of those articles
> freely  available to anyone who is interested anywhere, whether they are
> colleagues, students, or members of the general public"
>
>
>  The adoption of this policy across the UC system also signals to
> scholarly publishers that open access, in terms defined by faculty and not
> by publishers, must be part of any future scholarly publishing system.  The
> faculty remains committed to working with publishers to transform the
> publishing landscape in ways that are sustainable and beneficial to both
> the University and the public.
