Bravo to the Particle Physics & Astronomy Research Council (PPARC):
the 5th UK Research Council (and the 6th UK funder) to mandate OA
self-archiving.
CCLRC "strongly encourages" self-archiving, so that leaves only 2.5
of the 8 UK Research Councils to go. Of the 13 known self-archiving
mandates, 7 -- including all the funder mandates -- are from the UK.
Stand by for more UK announcements of individual University self-archiving
mandates (and if your institution, anywhere, has adopted one, please
register it in ROARMAP):
