JISC has issued a press release on JULIET (June 30):
Following the announcement by RCUK earlier this week on its position on access to research outputs, the SHERPA project has launched a new resource which gives information to authors and academics in receipt of grants from UK Research Councils. The resource outlines the respective positions of each of the Research Councils on requirements for the archiving of research outputs.
While the RCUK statement outlines overarching principles, responsibility for policies in this area has been devolved to individual Research Councils. SHERPA’s new resource - known as JULIET - breaks down the differing requirements and simplifies what the policies say has to be done, what authors should archive and where and when they should archive their outputs. The list then categorises the different sets of advice in comparison to an ideal Open Access mandate.
The JULIET list complements the well-known RoMEO list, which summarises publishers' permissions for archiving research articles.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
