Revising this guide

• This is a section within Good practices for university open-access policies.

Substance

Here are some topics under discussion, on which good practices are hard to identify or yet to emerge.

• How should universities respond to the Elsevier policy allowing green OA except at institutions with OA mandates?

• How should repositories respond to authors who ask to withdraw an article from the repository, for example, because it is mistaken, embarrassing, or superseded by a newer version?

Procedure

• The guide is edited and written by Stuart Shieber and Peter Suber, in consultation with a growing list of other experts. For the latest list, see the Preface.
