>       Analysis of Open Access policies was conducted as part of the

>       aspects. Firstly, searching for Open Access policies not

>       <http://pasteur4oa.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5fbf4a76563e0df5ac5e3eef0&id=87564d27a0&e=3b2e2546fa>and
>       adding those policies to the database. Secondly, recording the
>       characteristics of every policy in ROARMAP against a new
>       classification scheme. As a result, ROARMAP was updated and now
>       includes enhanced searching and browsing functionalities.
>       Thirdly, determining the levels of Open Access material in
>       institutional repositories of ROARMAP institutions. And finally,
>       using those policies that are mandatory to carry out a
>       regression analysis to see which policy elements correlate
>       significantly with effectiveness in delivering high levels of
>       Open Access content. A report with the results of the analysis
>       conducted will be available at the end of January 2015.
