University of Leicester (27 Jul 2009)
MANDATE URL and TEXT
http://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/researchsupport/ref
The University, following a decision ratified by Senate on 27 May 2009,
has joined a growing number of UK institutions, including UCL, Edinburgh,
Glasgow and Southampton, in adopting an open access mandate for research
publications. Open access means that a research publication can be
freely accessed by anyone using an internet connection.
Academics are now required to submit their research publications to both the open
access web-based Leicester Research Archive (LRA) and the internal
central research publications database (RED). The LRA includes full
text versions of publications where publishers' terms allow it (or the
bibliographic reference otherwise); RED includes only bibliographic
references.
This policy will:
-- enable analysis of Leicester�s outputs in the run up to REF and inform the selection of submissions;
-- enhance the visibility of Leicester
