Meeting the requirements of the Research Excellence Framework (REF) Open Access (OA) policy
A reminder to make sure that your research outputs are compliant with the REF 2021 OA policy. Any published material that is not compliant with the policy, or covered by a valid exception to the policy, will not be eligible for inclusion in the REF. Being prevented from submitting high-quality outputs for this reason could have a significant detrimental effect, on reputation and financially, to your school or institute, and overall to the university. The OA policy in the next REF applies to journal articles, and conference papers in proceedings with an ISSN (International Standard Serial Number), and came into force for all papers falling within these categories and accepted for publication on or after Friday 1 April 2016.
