Did you know that the separate City and St George’s Open Access Publications policies have been reviewed and merged into an Open Access Publications Policy for City St George’s, University of London?
The purpose of the policy is to confirm the combined university’s commitment to
“…open sharing of research outputs, as part of broader open scholarship practices, for the purposes of increasing visibility, accessibility and impact of our scholarly activity to the academic community and wider society.”
Some of the key points the policy asks of all academic and research staff:
- to deposit as a minimum their accepted manuscript (AAM) version of all peer reviewed journal articles and conference proceedings to be made available via our institutional repositories, CRO and SORA
- to go beyond this by also depositing other research outputs, such as book chapters or working papers (where copyright permits)
- to apply a CC-BY (Creative commons attribution licence) is encouraged to make sharing easy and re-use rights clear
- to register for and use an ORCID (a persistent identifier for individual researchers), and acknowledge affiliation to City St George’s, and the relevant School
- outlines what the institution will do to support authors.
