ROARMAP is also conducting studies, with the help of the data from the new ROAR http://roar.eprints.org/ database (coming soon) to monitor and record the effectiveness of OA policies in terms of their *deposit rate* (percentage of annual published output that is deposited) and *deposit latency *(when the papers are deposited, relative to publication date). OA Policies differ in their requirements. It is hoped that the comparative data will help institutions that already have an OA policy to monitor and compare its effectiveness with other policy models and will help institutions planning to adopt and OA policy to pick the most effective model.
