What is ?
The practice of providing unrestricted access to research outputs – free and permanent online access

Removal of payment barriers - anyone can read and download the research
RCUK/ Wellcome Trust policies
New policy (April 2013) for peer reviewed papers
Papers arising from RCUK (or Wellcome-funded) research must: be published in an OA compliant journal acknowledge funder (see RIN guidelines)

Routes to Open Access : Green Self-archive the accepted version of the manuscript
(often called post print or author accepted manuscript) in an open access repository
You must keep the final draft of your accepted manuscript for PURE – after peer review, before final formatting
Journals’ own policies and contracts may force use of gold route due to embargoes

Licence for reuse – often CC-BY
Permission to re-use

Fully OA journals no subscription/ APC only Journal Directories (eg DOAJ)
