The paper outlines the results of the first year of the FP7 Project PASTEUR4OA, which included:
* Describing and enumerating the policy picture in Europe and around the world;
* Rebuilding ROARMAP, the registry of OA policies, to include the development of a new, detailed classification scheme that describes policy elements;
* Collecting data on the levels of Open Access material in institutional repositories around the world;
* Measuring policy outcomes and analysing which elements of a policy contribute most to its effectiveness.
