Abstract

The paper investigates open access (OA) self archiving policies of
different Open Access Repositories (OARs) of COAPI (Coalition of
Open Access Policy Institutions) founder members as reported in June
2011 (i.e. a total of 22 members against a total of 46 COPAI members
as reported by Open Biomed (http://openbiomed.info/2011/08/coapi-cats/).
The paper consulted three databases (OpenDOAR, ROAR and ROARMAP)
in order to evaluate twenty-two (22) COAPI-members OARs self archiving
policy documentations and highlights of some progress on issues
so far. After analyzing policy documentations, key findings have been
highlighted and common practices have been suggested in line with
global recommendations and best practice guidelines at national and
international levels for strengthening national research systems. The
paper has implications for administrators, funding agencies, policy makers
and professional librarians in devising institute specific self archiving
policies for their own organization.
