The “gold route”
• Publish articles in an open-access journalor
• Publish in a “hybrid” journal that offers an open-access publishing option alongside traditional methods
http://www.doaj.org/
OA repositories: the “green” route
• Institutional, subject-based or national repositories
• Authors deposit pre-print, post-print or publisher’s pdf
• As well as, not instead of, traditional journal publishing
Making your work Open Access: Benefits• Improves reach
– Available to those who wouldn’t otherwise have access
– Maximises visibility
• Improves usage and impact– Improves citation rate
• Allows you to meet mandates
Checking your funders’ policies
• Look on Juliet - Research funders' OA policies

• NIHR OA Policy
NIHR OA Policy Summary
• Must deposit all papers into UKPMC within 6 months of publication.
• You can also deposit a copy in an institutional or another subject-based repository.
• It is strongly encouraged that you publish in journals that allow you to retain ownership of the copyright.
• NIHR is working with publishers so that they will deposit publications directly, on behalf of authors, when possible.
NIHR OA Policy Summary
Exemptions• When you wish to publish in a journal that is unwilling
to agree to your ownership of copyright, or deposit in UKPMC within 6 months, the author needs permission
Open Access Publishing Costs• NIHR expect all research costs (including Publishing
costs) to be budgeted for, and will not routinely fund additional publishing costs; however, in some instances they may consider additional support
UK PubMed Central
UK PubMed Central: Methods
• Publish in a journal that deposits all final-versions in PMC without author involvement
• Publish in a journal that offers an OA option, in which the publisher deposits final published version articles in PMC
• Self-archive the final peer-reviewed author manuscript in UKPMC (UKPMC+). Can be embargoed for up to 6 mths.
• Complete the submission process for a final peer-reviewed author manuscript that the publisher has deposited via the UK Manuscript Submission System.
Which Journals?
• Rough survey showed about 90% of journals allow archiving of journal articles, subject to some conditions (preprint or postprint)
• In most cases they allow archiving of the author’s final version
• Some do have embargo periods (e.g. 6 months) which need to be spent beforehand

Nottingham OA Policy
All research papers, where copyright allows, should be made available in an OA form upon publication
All research papers (final manuscript or publisher version), where copyright allows, should be deposited in the Nottingham ePrints repository upon publication or as soon as possible thereafter
Where available, researchers should take advantage of opportunities to publish their work in an OA form offered by journal publishers, and make use of research grants and/or the institutional central OA fund to pay OA publication fees
