The thing funders COULD mandate is to always post a #preprint before, or simultaneously with, submitting to any journal.

@villavelius@mastodon.online @albertcardona@mathstodon.xyz Actually, the case before the German constitutional court is exactly an example of such a mandate for depositing a copy of an article: https://irights.info/artikel/zweitveroeffentlichungsrecht-bundesverfassungsgericht-konstanz/31878 The decision has been overdue for 4 years now. So precisely these kinds of mandates are NOT possible everywhere - yet? What definitely IS possible is funders mandating institutions to have a modern infrastructure - they all do this already - just not for the kind of infrastructure we're talking abiout here.
