Is my Research Council covered by RCUK Funding for Open Access? | Library News

lkfitz's bookmarks 2016-08-02

Summary:

"In their role of investing public money in research the RCUK is committed to open access to ensure the research they fund is free and open access to the public.  Although the RCUK supports green open access its preference is for the gold route as it offers immediate open access with the maximum opportunity for re-use. To support the gold route RCUK supplies UK Universities with a block grant to cover the Article Processing Charges (APCs)."
