3. UiO Open Access Policy 1
Mandatory institutional archiving of all peer-reviewed articles in UiO’s institutional repository
All members of staff employed by UiO after 4 July 2013 are obliged to deposit a post-print version of scientific articles produced in connection with the employment relationship into the institutional repository.
UiO also encourages all members of staff whose employment commenced prior to 4 July 2013 to follow this practice.
If publication takes place in a journal that does not allow institutional archiving, and the employee, after inquiring, is not granted such permission by the publisher, the person concerned is relieved of this requirement.
