The Open Access Policy for REF 2021 has mandated green open access. The policy has two major parts:
-
a requirement to deposit final peer-reviewed manuscripts of journal articles and conference proceedings into an institutional repository or subject repository within three months of acceptance (previously within three months of publication); and
- a requirement that papers are made open access as soon as possible after publication and do not exceed the embargo limits (12 months REF Main Panels A & B; 24 months REF Main Panels C & D).
The updated policy applies to all manuscripts accepted for publication from 1 April 2018. Click here for more information.
