Berlin open access: from request to action

A dated record of the request, related evidence and what still needs to be established.

Awaiting assessment

What was asked?

Sets conditions for reuse and repository deposit, and encourages institutions to recognize open-access contributions.

Who would need to act?

Research institutions, funders, libraries, archives and museums

What would count as delivery?

Institutional deposit, licensing and assessment policies, together with evidence that researchers can use them.

What the record currently supports

The source establishes the published position. Subsequent implementation has not been assessed in this record; this does not mean no action occurred.

The evidence trail

Original position published

Berlin open access

Added to the archive

The record preserves the question. An absence of assessed follow-up is not a finding that no action occurred.
