[Kiley, Robert]

Yes, all papers should be available for free at the publisher site AND PMC.  We have already followed up with publishers where content has not been deposited with PMC.

Thanks for all the work you are doing in helping to analyse the Wellcome APC data.  The Google docs crowdsourcing document is getting well-populated.  See: https://t.co/nYmiX1aJ0C

And thanks to you and Wellcome Trust. Without your clarity we should be fighting mud.

In terms of the licence, please remember that the Wellcome CC-BY condition only came into effect from 1st April, and it was for papers submitted after this date.  ie A paper published in, say, October, but submitted before April 1st, would NOT need to have a CC-BY licence.

But all papers should be outside paywalls on all publisher sites.

And only the author KNOWS what licence they asked for - they may well have asked for CC-BY before April 1st.
