Prof. Jean-Pierre Verjus, Director of Scientific Information and
Communication for INRIA -- Institut national de recherche en informatique
et en automatique (French National Institute for Research in Computer
Sciences and Control)
http://www.inria.fr/index.en.html -- has just signed the
Registry of Institutional OA Self-Archiving Policies
http://www.eprints.org/signup/fulllist.php
INRIA is a national research institute with 6 units distributed
across France and totalling about 3000 personnel.
This brings to 11 the number of universities and research institutes
worldwide that have so far committed themselves to adopting a
self-archiving policy to implement the Berlin Declaration (along the
lines recommended by the Berlin 3 Meeting in Southampton on 1 March):
http://www.eprints.org/berlin3/outcomes.html
The tally of universities and research institutes that have adopted
self-archiving policies to date is:
France (4: 2 national institutes, 1 local institute, 1 laboratory),
Germany (2: 1 university + 1 local institute)
Australia (1 university),
India (1 local institute)
Portugal (1 university)
UK (1 university)
CERN (1 multi-national laboratory)
This is only the beginning. The Institutional Archives Registry
http://archives.eprints.org/eprints.php?action=browse
lists a current total of 395 OAI-compliant Open Access Archives
in universities and research institutes in 40 countries.
These universities and research institutes are now encouraged to adopt
an institutional self-archiving policy and to register and describe it
so that universites and research institutes worldwide can emulate them at:
