According to the rector decision in my university, the university library will put all research articles under CC license and making it publicly available regardless of the journal!
This is an amazing news that promotes better research practices imho. I'm super glad that my university is taking these measures towards open and accessible science.

@Mehrad Torille! This looks fantastic. I wonder if @StephenCurry has seen this sort of model in the wild at other universities…

@davidjamesweir @Mehrad @academicchatter isn’t this an implementation of a ‘rights retention’ policy? Something that started in the US I believe and is now widespread in the U.K. eg see https://www.ukrn.org/2023/04/18/rrs-primer/

@Mehrad I don’t understand how this doesn’t violate the journals’ copyright
