Paul’s just blogged this at The Winch:

News that the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) has agreed to mandate open access publication for research that it has funded, bringing it in line with the other 6 councils and with RCUK’s policy statement. Guidance on open access is available on the C.E.R.D. Academic Commons website.
