ARC Engagement• The ARC will be canvassing the sector to determine their
preparedness and consistency in approach to the new ARC Open Access requirements.
• View is to develop further guidance on issues such as implementation and compliance monitoring.
• CAUL will assist in framing and disseminating some suitable questions.
• ARC will continue to work with CAUL and AOASG and we support their efforts in helping the sector with the transition to Open Access.
