New study: "Open access publishing: is urology ready? A survey of authors, readers, and editorial board’s knowledge, impressions and satisfaction."

(#paywalled)Not a good way to run a survey or report the results.
* The results are paywalled.
* The article does not include the survey questions.
* The survey defines #GoldOA, #GreenOA, #DiamondOA, and #HybridOA. But the article only reports the attitudes toward APC-based gold OA. No surprise, they're negative. Yet disdain for #APCs only strengthens the reason to ask about green and diamond OA. If the survey did ask, then what are the answers? If it didn't ask, then why not?
* The survey gives a false definition of green OA, saying that it's always embargoed. That's especially odd since under current US federal agency policies, it's never embargoed. -
#SPARC has released its own new info on the new #NIH #OpenAccess policy.
https://sparcopen.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Update-to-NIH-PA-Policy-Deadline.pdfExcerpt:
<blockquote>
● The Policy requires immediate public access to articles -- #embargoes are no longer allowed.
● NIH reiterates authors do not have to pay a fee to comply with the Policy.
● The Policy applies to manuscripts accepted for publication on or after July 1, 2025. This means the Policy will apply to existing grants if an article is accepted on or after that date.
● The Policy requires that final peer-reviewed manuscripts be submitted to #PubMedCentral (#PMC) upon acceptance to be made publicly available immediately upon publication.
● The Policy requires that grantees explicitly grant the NIH the right to make the manuscript available in PMC without an embargo.
● The Policy does not explicitly grant full reuse rights of the manuscript to the public.

Kudos to #Canada's three major research-funding agencies for their draft all-green, zero-embargo, rights-retention #OpenAccess policy.
https://science.gc.ca/site/science/en/interagency-research-funding/policies-and-guidelines/open-access/draft-revised-tri-agency-open-access-policy-publicationsThe agencies are the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (#CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (#NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (#SSHRC) — sometimes known collectively as the #TriAgency.
