ERC Scientific Council Guidelines for Open Access

http://erc.europa.eu/pdf/ScC_Guidelines_Open_Access_revised_Dec07

_FINAL.pdf


17 December 2007

“The ERC requires that all peer-reviewed publications from ERC-funded research projects be deposited on publication into an appropriate research repository where available, such as PubMed Central, ArXiv or an institutional repository, and subsequently made Open Access within 6 months of publication.”“The ERC considers essential that primary data - which in the life sciences for example could comprise data such as nucleotide/protein sequences, macromolecular atomic coordinates and anonymized epidemiological data are deposited to the relevant databases as soon as possible, preferably immediately after publication and in any case not later than 6 months after the date of publication.”

Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe

http://www.openaire.eu


Main Goals

Deliver “an electronic infrastructure and supporting mechanisms for the identification, deposition, access, and monitoring of FP7 and ERC funded articles”

Additionally, offer “a special repository for articles that can be stored neither in institutional nor in subject-based/thematic repositories”.

All deposited articles will be visible and freely accessible worldwide through a new portal to the products of EU-funded research, built as part of this project.
