Abstract

[Purpose/significance] With international organizations, countries, funding agencies and research institutions improving their support for open access, the number of open access policy has been increasing, and its enforcement has been heightened, which promotes the development of global research communication. Analyzing the mandatory OA policy which owns incentive measures is of significant value to make and improve the OA policy in China. [Method/process] By analyzing the mandatory OA policy with incentive measures which registered on MELIBE and ROARMAP system, this paper gets the present situation of the development of such policies. And then it chooses the top 50 universities in the UK as an example to analyze their WOS paper storage rates in the assigned IR which is on behalf of the compliance rate of OA policy. [Result/conclusion] Funding agencies mostly use the punitive measures of cutting money for the project or cancelling the grantees' qualification of applying the fund again to urge researchers to comply with its policy, and scientific research institutions link researchers' performance of self-archiving with agencies' performance evaluation to inspire researchers to let their research results being open access. This kind of policy shows better implemented effects.
