OA content management system has additional responsibilities to manage copyright and other legalities, retention of authors' rights, privileges control (who submits/access what), version control, preservation, format management for bit streams, purging control (withdrawal of metadata/items), and embargo control.Item Unit 1: Open access mandates and polices.(Busitema University., 2024) Lugya, Fredrick Kiwuwa; Busitema UniversityThe objective of this unit is to portrait a clear picture of Open Access Mandates/Policies and related issues.
