Strathmore University (02 Mar 2011)
MANDATE URL and TEXT
Strathmore University open access Policy Strathmore University is committed to disseminating the fruits of its research and scholarship as widely as possible. In keeping with that commitment, the University adopts the following policy: Each University member grants to the Vice Chancellor and Academic council of Strathmore University permission to make available his or her scholarly articles and to exercise the copyright in those articles. More specifically, each Faculty member grants to the Vice Chancellor and Academic council of Strathmore University a nonexclusive, irrevocable, worldwide license to exercise any and all rights under copyright relating to each of his or her scholarly articles, in any medium, and to authorize others to do the same, provided that the articles are not sold for a profit. The policy will apply to all scholarly articles authored or co-authored while the person is a member of the University except for any articles completed before the adoption of this policy and any articles for which the Faculty member entered into an incompatible licensing or assignment agreement before the adoption of this policy. The Vice Chancellor or the Vice Chancellor’s designate will waive application of the policy to a particular article upon written request by a Faculty member explaining the need. Each Faculty member will provide an electronic copy of the final version of the article at no charge to the appropriate representative of the Vice Chancellor’s Office in an appropriate format (such as PDF) specified by the Vice Chancellor’s Office no later than the date of its publication. The Vice Chancellor’s Office may make the article available to the public in an open-access repository. The Office of the Director of research will be responsible for interpreting this policy, resolving disputes concerning its interpretation and application, and recommending changes to the University from time to time. The policy will be reviewed after three years and a report presented to the Academic Council.
