Open Access Task Force

Public Act 098-0295

The open access task force will review current publishing practices by faculty at Illinois State University and draft a policy regarding open access to research articles based on criteria appropriate to Illinois State University. In designing the policy, the task force will consider how Illinois State University can best further the open access goals set forth in the state act, review how peer institutions and the federal government are addressing open access and ensure consistency of our approach with steps taken by federal grant-making agencies, and consider academic, legal, ethical, and fiscal ramifications of open access publishing.
