Many thanks to @AuthorsAlliance for launching this form to collect author experiences under the new federal #OpenAccess policies, including the #NIH policy.
https://www.authorsalliance.org/fedpublicaccess/

"We are particularly interested in learning about:
* Challenges with #publishers whose policies may disallow their uploading of articles to agency-designated #repositories;
* Common questions or points of confusion expressed by grantees;
* Confusion or questions about agency guidance;
* Other technical, legal, or practical barriers to depositing articles."

Note to #librarians: When you encounter authors facing any kind of problem with a fed OA policy (understanding, compliance, publishing), please refer them to this form. The more we document the problems, the more we can facilitate solutions.

Artistic Rendering of the Library of Alexandria, based on some archaeological evidence. The building is depicted with classical Greco-Egyptian design elements—tall columns, marble facades, and ornate friezes. The scene shows the interior, with long, vaulted halls lined with wooden shelves, niches filled with scrolls, and skylights that bathe the room in warm light. Scholars, scribes, and philosophers in flowing robes move through the space—engaged in reading, debating, or writing—evoking a vibrant intellectual culture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Alexandria#/media/File:Ancientlibraryalex.jpg
