== University OA policies in general ==
* This is a section within [[Good practices for university open-access policies]].
 
== Policies of the kind recommended in the guide ==
 
Chronological by date of adoption. Links point to policies, not institutional home pages.
 
For those considering adopting their own rights-retention OA policies, we recommend starting with the current [https://osc.hul.harvard.edu/modelpolicy Harvard model policy], which incorporates the latest recommended practices described in this guide. HOAP project staff are [http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/hoap/Main_Page#Policy_consultations available for consultation] on drafting as well.
 
Also see the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory] list of [https://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/University_rights-retention_OA_policies university rights-retention OA policies] (launched July 21, 2023). While our list below is limited to the kinds of policies recommended in this guide (roughly, "Harvard-style" policies), the OAD list aims to cover these as well as policies taking other approaches.

Policies of the kind recommended in the guide

Chronological by date of adoption. Links point to policies, not institutional home pages.

For those considering adopting their own rights-retention OA policies, we recommend starting with the current Harvard model policy, which incorporates the latest recommended practices described in this guide. HOAP project staff are available for consultation on drafting as well.

Also see the Open Access Directory list of university rights-retention OA policies (launched July 21, 2023). While our list below is limited to the kinds of policies recommended in this guide (roughly, "Harvard-style" policies), the OAD list aims to cover these as well as policies taking other approaches.
