  1. IN A POST-2014 REF • Ben Johnson, HEFCE • 15 May 2014

  2. We believe that all research arising from HEFCE funding should be as widely and freely accessible as the available channels for dissemination will allow.

  3. Our objectives • Significantly increase the proportion of open access research • Protect academic freedom and author choice as much as possible • Stimulate the deposit of work in repositories

  4. Outputs submitted to a post-2014REF should be “open access”. • The core principle of the policy

  5. Minimum requirements • Extra credit

  6. The minimum requirements • Deposit the final peer-reviewed draft of your paper in the repository on acceptance • The bibliographic record must be discoverable ASAP • The full text must be accessible ASAP (or once an embargo has elapsed)

  7. What it applies to • All journal articles • Most conference proceedings • Only those with an ISSN • Not conferences that publish as part of a book series • Accepted after 1 April 2016

  8. Embargoes • REF main panels A and B: • 12 months • REF main panels C and D: • 24 months

  9. 96%

  10. What it won't apply to

  11. The extra credit • Reuse and text-mining (libre) • Outputs not in scope (books etc)

  12. And what about gold? • Still want the file deposited in the repository • But the repository can link to an externally held version of record (if available)

  13. Next steps • Repository upgrades • Information and audit requirements • FAQs • Monitoring and formative evaluation

  14. Barriers to be overcome • Green or gold? • Embargoes • Licensing • Monographs • Behavioural change • Technological change

  15. A prediction • Significant increase of open access outputs (even within publishers’ current policies) • Increased visibility and usage of repositories • Many more immediate deposit mandates • Later: author-driven moves to faster and more permissive access

  16. Thank you for listening • openaccess@hefce.ac.uk • b.johnson@hefce.ac.uk • #OAREF • @ersatzben
