3. http://www.hefce.ac.uk/rsrch/oa/Policy/  For submission to the next REF HEFCE (on behalf of HEFCW) require all journal outputs including conference proceedings published in journals, accepted for publication from 1 st April 2016, to be: -Green OA -Deposited in repository within 3 months of acceptance (i.e. a record created in PURE with a post-print attached). Who requires OA?

4. The date of acceptance is the point at which the author is notified that:  their output has been reviewed by the journal or conference (normally via peer review)  all academically necessary changes have been made in response to that review  the article is ready to be taken through the final steps toward publication (normally copy- editing and typesetting). What is the date of acceptance?

5.  The author’s final, accepted manuscript that has been agreed with the editor at that point.  The accepted manuscript is not the same as the copy-edited, typeset or published paper – these versions are known as ‘proofs’ or ‘versions of record’ and publishers do not normally allow authors to make these available on open-access.‌ What is the post print?

6. Route to OA: PURE submission On Acceptance On Publication On Verification Create an output record in PURE (pure.aber.ac.uk) adding a post-print version of the item and including any details of any associated embargo period.pure.aber.ac.uk IS will update the record with final details of the output, add a publisher’s copy of the item (where permissible), with the appropriate embargo period set, and verify the record. Output records will be transferred automatically to CADAIR (http://cadair.aber.ac.uk/dspace/), the University’s institutional repository.http://cadair.aber.ac.uk/dspace/

7. The relevant full-text version of the output (pre-print, post-print, publisher’s PDF) will not be made publically available until any embargo period has completed. Route to OA: PURE submission (2)
