This document analyzes compliance with open access mandates by major research funders. It finds that compliance levels vary significantly by funder, discipline, and whether access is provided through gold or green open access. Funders in the biomedical field have the highest compliance rates, while those in the social sciences and humanities have the lowest. Compliance has increased overall in recent years, but green open access is more common than gold. The authors recommend that funders focus on standardizing embargoes, improving self-archiving infrastructure, shifting scholarly cultures, and addressing affordability of article processing charges to further increase open access to published research.

Editor's Notes
- Self-archiving of papers in an institutional or disciplinary repository or on an researcher’s website Submitted version Original proofs Corrected proofs Final version accepted by journal
- Unpaywall is a browser extension that tracks the OA status of papers, based on paper information obtained from Crossref. Aggregates links to OA papers DOAJ, PubMed Central, as well as thousands of journal websites and repositories Excludes versions available through Sci-Hub or on social networking websites, such as Academia or ResearchGate Also provides whether scholarly papers are available on a publishers’ website (Gold OA) or in a repository (Green OA) Publishers’ version was preferred to the repository version, following Harnad’s distinction Green OA papers are thus papers for which no gold OA version exists. As of April 18th 2018, Unpaywall contained OA status for 95,842,233 DOIs from scholarly documents; making this information available through an API as well as a raw data file
- Given the diversity of sources on which OA version of papers can be found (both legally and illegally), the Unpaywall algorithm’s accuracy errs more on the precision side than recall Manual analysis of a sample of papers in Piwowar et al. (2018) has shown that, while an actual OA version could be found for 96.6% of papers which were considered OA, and OA version could be found for 12.3% of papers which were considered as closed. Hence, results presented here can be considered as a minimum proportion of papers available in OA. Unpaywall records from the raw data file were matched with WoS papers published between 2008 and 2017, for a total number of journals articles analyzed of 12,495,074. Unpaywall provides a lower bound of OA—there are more papers available through OA than what is in the tool. But those are less easy to find, and have less permanence (such as on researchers’ websites) Suggests that centralized repositories—such as arXiv, etc—might be more efficient than decentralized deposit (i.e. on researchers’ websites, etc.) In some cases, some of the papers might have been funded a while ago, at a moment when OA coverage of green is lower – priority given to gold OA. Limited to Web of Science papers
- Very little research on the topic, let alone on funders’ mandates Gargouri et al (2012): Post Finch report work, aimed at assessing the following claim in the Finch report "The [Green OA] policies of neither research funders nor universities themselves have yet had a major effect in ensuring that researchers make their publications accessible in institutional repositories…" Vincent-Lamarre et al. (2016): what are the most efficient mandates? Those for which deposit is mandatory Researchers can opt out Institutions keep the rights
- Institutional mandates Generally less restrictive Many forms University of Liège (evaluation of faculty) Funders mandates Considered to be more restrictive (contractual condition) Many have embargo (typically 1 year) Science as a public good (that is publicly funded)
- “Obligation” for researchers to make their paper open access Encouragement vs obligation Embargo vs immediate deposit Institutional / disciplinary repository vs any repository vs gold Dark vs open deposit Right retention vs no right retention Opt out policy
- How compliant are funded reseachers to funders’ mandates? How does compliance vary across time, discipline and funder? What is the relative importance of Gold and Green OA? 11 OA mandates are analyzed: Canada (CIHR, NSERC, SSHRC) United States (NIH, NSF, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) United Kingdom (EPSRC, ESRC, MRC, and Wellcome Trust) Europe (European Research Council) Some mandates are relatively old, others more recent, and cover a large spectrum of disciplines

- Compliance = medicine > natural sciences > social sciences Importance of infrastructure: high levels of deposit for medical disciplines may be due to the existence of dedicated repositories (i.e. PubMed Central) Global effect of embargos They seem to have become longer Funders that allow them have much lower deposit rate Decline of share of OA of both NIH and CIHR, which is difficult to explain Effect of embargos? Measurement issue? Canadian mandates have never been enforced, nor publicized. Researchers are not even aware that they exist. Effects of providing dedicated funds for APCs : increase of Gold OA Finch report and growth of gold in the UK High cost (half a billion in APCs for the 11 funders at 1,500$ per paper)
