Summary of Biomedical Funders’ Policies on Open Access
In recent months, several funding agencies have announced new policies in relation to open access. To keep track of this information, BioMed Central has compiled a summary of the open access policies of different biomedical funders, linking to official policy statements from those funders where available. We hope that this summary table will make it easier for authors to look up their own funder’s policy on open access and for librarians to have a comprehensive list of what is available. The table also allows the policies of different funders to be compared, and we hope that it will encourage more funders to define official policies in relation to open access.
