Open access (generic department)
The document outlines the open access policy of the UK Research Councils (RCUK) and its implications for researchers, emphasizing the need for compliance when publishing peer-reviewed articles. Key requirements include the necessity for authors to acknowledge funding sources, provide access to research data, and ensure publication in compliant journals. It also discusses options for authors regarding open access publishing, funding for article processing charges, and access limitations faced by various institutions.

Editor's Notes
- #11 There is some division over the issue of whether rights of re-use are needed now, or will develop once ‘access’ has been firmly established.
- #20 So a subscription journal such as Nature Communications offers authors:- - the option to publish normally and self-archive their final peer-reviewed manuscript (green) for free - the option to pay-to-publish for a cost of $4800-$5200… and offers readers the option to:- - pay a subscription to access of c.£3,800 per year to access all articles from the journal site - access those articles which an author has paid to publish free form the journal site, and the less-polished final peer-reviewed manuscripts of articles from an authors OA repository 6 months after publication (or purchase access for £20+ per article) - in this last instance, £20+ is not much. But considering the number of payments by multiple readers this could amount to, the cost to the research economy more widely may be significantly more than making the article free-to-access via gold/green route.
- #37 Writing… or thinking of writing an article for a particular journal. Author needs to know options (possibly before completing writing article), and if funding is available (before submission).Fund administrators need to know expected spending of funding before an invoice/request for payment arrives.
- #38 Writing… or thinking of writing an article for a particular journal. Author needs to know options (possibly before completing writing article), and if funding is available (before submission).Fund administrators need to know expected spending of funding before an invoice/request for payment arrives.
- #41 … reminder Durham, and Russell Group more widely, has expressed a strategic preference for green (and gold where it is a pure open access journal, and not a hybrid journal).
- #42 Purposes:- - makes sure we can keep money available to cover the expected cost. - starts the process of recording how the RCUK fund is spent for reporting purposes - starts the process for making sure that if we are paying publishers, we can then easily move the published version into DRO for future REF purposes.
- #46 - (1,874 could be OA but author has not provided text) (18%) - others need confirmation by contacting publisher.
- #47 Reiterate point… REF probably looking at either a target of 70-80% open access, or a 100% target with exceptions…
- #48 Reiterate point… REF probably looking at either a target of 70-80% open access, or a 100% target with exceptions…
- #49 Reiterate point… REF probably looking at either a target of 70-80% open access, or a 100% target with exceptions…
- #64 These funders are just some of those which have an open access requirement built into their funding contracts. Some require deposit in a repository, some require publishing in an open access journal. These are mostly European and UK funders… there are many others outside of the UK which have similar open access requirements attached to any funding they provide, with varying degrees of reporting enforcement in place.
- #77 Consultation – written submissions, open invite consultation workshops, on going discussion with publishers.
- #84 Exclusions to account for exceptions (eg ECRs with no institution, overseas researchers joining during REF period, compliance targets)
- #85 Must be at least the author’s accepted manuscript. Will respect embargo periods (but likely to have recommended or required maximum embargo periods)So, could still publish in any Taylor & Francis, Sage etc. journal, have the published version locked behind a paywall, but deposit your final accepted manuscript ON ACCEPTANCE/PUBLICATION in a repository.
