[Duraspace] A new open-access requirement in the UK | infoclio.ch

[Hilton Gibson]

The introduction of open-access requirements has kindled a lively debate
within UK universities. *The financial weight of the REF forced
universities and departments to tackle the issue most seriously*, promoting
information sessions and departmental meetings in order to clarify and
discuss the new rules. *The role of university online repositories was
strengthened by this decision*; arguably, the importance of making accepted
manuscripts available online has never been so widely acknowledged at UK
universities.
