Summary:

"Open Access to research publications involves making them freely available online rather than charging readers to read and use them. Open Access to research data makes data more widely available for re-use by others to support research, innovation and wider public use.

HEFCE calls for all author accepted manuscripts of journal articles or conference proceedings to be deposited in an Open Access repository at the time of acceptance for publication. The University administers publication funds for RCUK and COAF that can reimburse publisher charges for immediate Open Access to the publisher's version. Other research funders have policies that call for Open Access.

The University operates an advice site at www.openaccess.cam.ac.uk. If you upload your manuscript, you will be advised on your options.

The University's Open Access policy framework

In 2017, the University reviewed its Open Access Policy Framework. The new policy, set out below, has been approved by the Open Access Project Board and the Research Policy Committee. A pdf version of the 2017 policy is available. This replaces the version created in January 2013."
