The Chinese Academy of Science announced a new open access policy on 15 May, 2014. Researchers funded by this agency will be required to submit their research to their institute's open-access repositories within twelve months.
This move will “facilitate knowledge dissemination and accelerate the globalisation of science,” states the Academy.
Increasingly, research agencies are implementing open-access policies. While there is still significant disagreement about the best way to do this - with supporters firmly backing Green, Gold or Platinum open access strategies - this move marks a significant moment in the global acceptance of open-access publishing.

We are an independent charity and are not backed by a large company or society. We raise every penny ourselves to improve the standards of cancer care through education. You can help us continue our work to address inequalities in cancer care by making a donation.
Any donation, however small, contributes directly towards the costs of creating and sharing free oncology education.
Together we can get better outcomes for patients by tackling global inequalities in access to the results of cancer research.
Thank you for your support.
