House of Commons BIS Select Committee Report
• Focus on gold during transition a mistake – criticises Finch
• Vital role of green open access – 6/12 month embargos, and no evidence that short/zero embargo causes lost subscriptions
• Want RCUK to withdraw support for PA decision tree

• If gold preference is maintained, should only go to fully OA journals
• Criticise RCUK for mandating CC-BY without proper analysis ‘mandating the use of a particular licence should not be prioritised over immediate online access’
OUP joined in September 2013:• Contributing 18 pairs, frontlist and backlist from Law and Ac Trade
