Harvard Faculty Adopts Open-Access Requirement

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the step-in-the-up-direction dept.

Vooch writes "Harvard University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences adopted a policy this evening that requires faculty members to allow the university to make their scholarly articles available free online." I may not be smart enough to go to college, but at least I can pretend to have a Harvard eduction. I don't think that will be enough to get a gig as a Simpsons writer.

    Will this prevent Harvard researchers from publishing in these journals? Seems to me it must.
