The open access recommendations endorsed unanimously by the European Universities Association (EUA) have just been published in the <a href=”http://www.eua.be/index.php?id=48&no_cache=1&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=518&tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=1″>EUA Newsletter</a>.

In brief, the EUA calls on every university in Europe to develop an institutional repository (or arranging for sharing a repository), and requiring faculty to self-archive their work immediately on publication, with provision for delaying open access if required.

Further details, my comments, and links can be found on my blog, <a href=”http://poeticeconomics.blogspot.com/2008/04/european-universities-association-eau.html”>The Imaginary Journal of Poetic Economics</a>.
