#1 Which publications have to be available on Open Access (OA)? Journal articles Conference articles (with an ISSN) When? HEFCE’s REF eligibility policy “This requirement will apply to journal articles and conference proceedings accepted for publication after 1 April 2016” Now!

#2 What do I have to do? ACT ON ACCEPTANCE requires researchers to act on acceptance to deposit their final peer- reviewed text, also known as: - ‘Author Accepted Manuscript (AAM)’ - ‘final author version’ or - ‘postprint’ in an open access institutional or subject repository within three months of the date of acceptance* For Brookes staff this means adding this version to the CRIS applies to article manuscripts accepted after 1 April 2016

#3 Do we require anything else from you? Yes – evidence of acceptance date such as from publisher How? Cut and paste text from into a text file, word doc or create a pdf save and upload alongside the version of your paper on the CRIS Dates Acceptance Date – deposit within 3 months of acceptance date* *Note Hefce will not be enforcing the requirement of deposit within 3 months of acceptance until early It still needs to be within 3 months of publication date for only.

#4 The Hard Core Non-compliant outputs (ie a journal article or conference proceeding submitted to the post-2014 REF that is not compliant with all the criteria and with no valid exception recorded) will receive an unclassified score. Brookes Message: You should publish in the journal that is most appropriate to your discipline Exceptions: Need to record them – add note to record More information: FAQs :

#5 What about monographs, book chapters, and other outputs? There is no open access requirement for these types of outputs. Just add brief details about the output to the CRIS.
