[OAI-eprints] June issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter

[Peter Suber]

* Announcement (cross-posted) *

I just mailed the June issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter.  This 
issue takes a close look at the calculations purporting to show that 
high-output research universities would pay more in author-side fees for OA 
journals than they pay now in subscriptions for non-OA journals.  It also 
takes a close look at Elsevier's new hybrid journals and the first month of 
news since the FRPAA was introduced into the US Senate.  The Top Stories 
section takes a brief look at the OA bill before the German Parliament, the 
national-level OA policies adopted or under consideration in Australia, 
Finland, Sweden, and South Africa, the OA mandate at India's National 
Institute of Technology, the OA recommendation at Humbolt University 
Berlin, the launch of new repositories at a handful of institutions around 
the world, and Gunther Eysenbach's new study confirming the existence of an 
OA impact advantage.
