The Russell Group, nineteen of the UK's major research-led universities http://www.russellgroup.ac.uk/index1.html http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/documents/rep_distrib.html have released a Statement on Scholarly Communication and Publishing http://www.russellgroup.ac.uk/2005/scholarly_communication.htm echoing the recommendations of the UK Parliamentary Select Committee http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200304/cmselect/cmsctech/399/3990... by pledging to "support the development of institutional repositories of research papers... [and to] actively encourage their researchers to deposit their work in them".
