SHERPA/REF - Author Consultation - 0%

"HEFCE has established that, in order to be eligible for a future Research Excellence Framework, journal articles and conference proceedings accepted for publication after 1 April 2016 will have to be made openly accessible from repositories, with deposit into the repository being made at the time of acceptance for publication. This means that both authors and institutions have new responsibilities and tasks to ensure material will be eligible for a future REF. HEFCE has commissioned the Centre for Research Communications (CRC) at the University of Nottingham to develop a new service to support authors and institutions in meeting the new requirements, building on the current portfolio of SHERPA services (RoMEO, JULIET and FACT) . The CRC would like to hear your views and opinions on how this service should be structured. The results of this survey will be used to inform the service specification in order to ensure it meets user requirements as effectively as possible.  The survey consists of 20 questions and should take no more than 12 minutes to complete. It will close at midnight on the 28th of January 2015 ..."
