Comply with Open Access policies for articles

Here we guide you through the steps we advise you to take to ensure your article meets the OA requirements. Following these instructions will allow you to meet the REF 2029 and University of 糖心TV policies, where other funder policies require other actions they are noted.

Step 1: Is the journal you want to submit to covered by a 鈥楻ead and Publish鈥� Agreement? See a list of 'read and publish' agreements or search the database of journals included in 鈥榬ead and publish鈥� agreements.

If yes, go to step 4.

If no, go to step 2.

Step 2: Is the journal Gold Open Access only?

This means that you have to pay an APC to publish in this journal and cannot publish in it otherwise. Open journals should state that they are Open Access on their journal home page and should be listed in the .

If yes, go to step 3a.

If no, go to step 3b.

Step 3a : Apply for an APC

You will need to apply for an APC at submission.

To apply for an APC, fill out the Open Access funding request.

If complete, go to step 4.

Step 3b: Green Open Access

If the journal is not recognised by Jisc as committed to changing to full Open Access, you are unlikely to get funding for an APC. Your journal must appear in this JISC Sherpa list for you to be eligible to use the However you may be able to make use of the university's limited institutional fund. Proceed to submission of your article but you will need to make your article Green open access.

To apply for an APC, fill out the Open Access funding request.

If complete, go to step 4.

Step 4: Submission of your article

• Where possible, use your university email address
• This applies to all AAMs regardless of whether the article is in a Read and Publish journal, in receipt of APC funds or neither of these

• There are three rights retention statements you can choose to use, depending on the research funding you are acknowledging:
