A brief description of the open access policy, including the date adopted, any incentives or supports provided, and the repository(ies) used:
The Colorado State University Libraries Open Access Commitment was adopted by the CSU Libraries Faculty Council on May 2, 2012. The policy is a campus-wide commitment to open access and encourages self-archiving of scholarly articles in its shared institutional repository service, Digital Collections of Colorado, as allowed by copyright. https://dspace.library.colostate.edu/
Other campus faculty and graduate students deposit their articles in CSU’s institutional repository also, or another disciplinary repository (e.g., PubMed Central, arXiv, etc.).
All CSU theses and dissertations are deposited in Digital Collections of Colorado for worldwide access.
Students depositing their thesis or dissertation are required to make discoverable, accessible and available the associated data sets per the campus research data policy. http://policylibrary.colostate.edu/policy.aspx?id=737
Faculty and researchers are making data sets accessible via the institutional repository or disciplinary repositories to comply with federal funding agency requirements, with the assistance of Libraries faculty.
The CSU Libraries has a Committee on Open Access and Scholarly Communication to consider and address open access issues.
The OARS Fund is an ongoing fund that opens for applications at the beginning of each year and remains open until funds are exhausted for that year. Faculty are notified when the fund opens each year and when the fund is not accepting applications there is a note to reflect that on the website.
