CIAO - Collaborative Institutional Assessment of Open access the Pilot version is published




CIAO is ready!





CIAO - Collaborative Institutional Assessment of Open access is a benchmarking tool for assessing institutional readiness for Open Access (OA) compliance. The tool is based on the CARDIO (Collaborative Assessment of Research Data Infrastructure and Objectives- http://cardio.dcc.ac.uk). This tool has been produced as part of the JISC OA Pathfinder: Making Sense: a researcher-centred approach to funder mandates.

We need feedback
This is a pilot version so we are very keen of getting feedback on how it has been used in different institutions. How useful is it, how can we make it better? Email openaccess@brookes.ac.uk

We are looking at alternative ways of delivering this tool. We are also developing similar tool to be completed by individuals. MIAO - My Individual Assessment of Open access .
