Summary:
"The Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP)...expects that scientists receiving financial support from the Program disseminate their findings in international, high-quality peer review journals and that publications arising from HFSP funded projects are made freely available as soon as possible after publication and licensed in ways which allow others to build upon and re-use this content. Therefore HFSP funded scientists are encouraged to maximize the dissemination of their research output by opting to publish their research articles using the Creative Commons Attribution license CC-BY to guarantee unrestricted open access as early as possible after acceptance of a manuscript. Awardees are free to choose to make the article open-access by 1) publishing in an open-access journal, 2) posting to an online repository, or 3) paying an open access fee to a hybrid journal. In order to meet the above criteria, HFSP awardees can claim open access fees for publications arising from HFSP projects as an eligible expense of the award. Therefore awardees may pay these charges from the research portion of their HFSP funds...."
