Last week OEN reported on MELIBEA, a directory of open access policies. Stevan Harnad has a new post responding to the project. From the post:
I can only agree with Steve Hitchcock’s points and conclude that consulting MELIBEA today would be likely to create and compound confusion rather than helping to bring the all-important focus and direction to OA policy-making that I am sure CSIC, too, seeks, and seeks to help realize.
Note: Many of the stories regarding open access that have been posted by OEN have been found through the OATP project on Connotea. We encourage readers to contribute open access links to their project.
