I see that the European Research Council (ERC) now requires that "all peer-reviewed publications from ERC-funded research projects be deposited on publication into an appropriate research repository where available, such as PubMed Central, ArXiv or an institutional repository, and subsequently made Open Access within 6 months of publication" (ERC Scientific Council Guidelines for Open Access 17 December 2007)[1].
Could someone who understands these things explain to me what is the difference between the "European Research Council", the "European Council" and the "European Commission" ? N Miradon [1] http://erc.europa.eu/pdf/ScC_Guidelines_Open_Access_revised_Dec07_FINAL.pdf
