New Open Access Webpages

The new Open Access For Journal Articles section includes pages on:

• Open Access Deals: Before you submit identify your open access route heck whether your journal is included in an open access deal.
• Paying an Article Processing Charge (APC): Some journals require an open access fee, also know as (APC). The library can only pay these fees if we have received a block grant from a funder. We currently hold block grants for UKRI, Wellcome Trust, CRUK and BHF.
• Scholarly Works Policy: To publish our research openly, our authors need to retain their rights to share their work. Traditionally, most publishers have claimed these rights in their standard publishing contracts, but to comply with funder open access policies and future REF assessments we need to hold on to them. To ensure our authors can do so, the University of Bristol has enacted the Scholarly Works Policy.
• Open Access Flowchart:  View the open Access Chart in pdf
• Funder policy pages: Open access policy guides
• REF Open Access policy : The Research Excellence Framework (REF) is the UKs system for assessing the quality and impact of UK research. All researchers at the University of Bristol need to ensure that their work is made open access in line with the REF policy.  Open access for journal articles page will show you how to make your work compliant with the REF open access policy.
