The HEFCE policy for open access in the post-2014 REF

The HEFCE policy for open access in the post-2014 REF  requires that certain research outputs must be made open access in an institutional repository to be eligible for the next REF. Open access means free to read and download and refers only to journal articles and conference proceedings with an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN). The author accepted manuscript (post-print) must be uploaded within 3 months of the date of acceptance for publication.

York St John is implementing this policy from 1^st April 2016.

So as soon as you have an article accepted for publication you should upload the post-print to RaY. If you need any help with this please email RaY
