Department of Health (UK) (DoH) (09 Jan 2007)
MANDATE URL and TEXT
http://www.nihr.ac.uk/files/pdfs/OpenAccessPolicyStatement.pdf
The DH requires that, for applications submitted from 1st April 2007,
electronic copies of any research papers that have been accepted for
publication in a peer-reviewed journal (or final reports and / or executive
summaries) which are supported in whole or in part by DH funding, are
deposited at the earliest opportunity - and in any case within six months - in
UK PubMed Central (UKPMC).
Deposition of a research paper, final report or executive summary into UKPMC
does not prevent authors from also depositing a copy in the institutional or
another subject-based repository should they choose to do so or be required to
do so by their employing institution.
The DH also strongly encourages, but does not formally oblige, all grant
recipients to deposit articles arising from grants awarded as a result of
applications submitted before 1st April 2007.
Authors will benefit in two ways. Firstly, their papers will be given a much
wider form of dissemination and will be able to be read without restriction by
anyone with internet access. Secondly, as researchers they will increasingly
be able to search the full text of all the research published in their area,
not just the research available to them via the subscriptions their
institution offers.
