Friends, OSTP will soon expect all research resulting from US Govt funding to be deposited in a repository. Writing on 'Decoding the OSTP Public Access Memo,' Rob Johnson, Director of Research Consulting, Nottingham, UK, has said, "the takeaway message for me was clear – the headline pathway to compliance with the new OSTP memo will be via deposit of an article in a repository. Don’t expect Uncle Sam to foot the bill for a gold rush" and "While publishers and librarians might have expected the two main ways to be the ‘gold’ (open access on the publisher platform) and ‘green’ (open or public access via a repository) pathways, in fact they corresponded to the two different versions of an article which can be deposited in a repository - the author accepted manuscript or the final published journal article."

Hope at least now Indian scientists, universities, funding agencies and academies would act and not just keep talking about open access.
