Subject: Re: Outcome of Berlin 3 at Southampton UK

For your records, the powerpoint file on my computer reads:

In order to implement the Berlin Declaration institutions should

1. Implement a policy to require their researchers to deposit a copy of all their published articles in an open access repository.

and

    2) Encourage their researchers to publish their research articles     in open access journals where a suitable journal exists and provide     the support to enable that to happen. Received on Wed Mar 16 2005 - 03:35:45 GMT
