The new policy, which applies to all qualifying publications being submitted for publication from 1 April 2013, states that peer reviewed research papers which result from research that is wholly or partially funded by the Research Councils:
RCUK announces new Open Access policy
• must be published in journals which are compliant with Research Council policy on Open Access
Academic publishing is going to change
The UK has mandated open access publishing for all state funded research, EU and US are likely to follow
Academic societies want open access, but worryabout costs and losing subscription income
Legacy publishers are unwilling and unable to lower fees for OA, so stillvery expensive (average charge £2,000 per article published)
Many universities want their own presses to makepublishing more affordable and for prestige(although it is expensive and difficult to matchthe legacy publishers’ systems)
Opportunity
Challenges
4 levels of support for universities and their libraries
Provision for open research data and software archiving with all publications
Rigorous peer reviewEditorial guidance and training Provision for open peer reviewCOPE membership for all editorsClose links with university’s ethics committee
