Open Access
Open Access to Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ publications
Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ supports the principle that results of publicly-funded research should be made available as widely and freely as possible, this is known as 'Open Access.'
The full text of all new Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ articles and conference papers should be made available in the institutional repository (), to other researchers, students and the wider public (subject to any publisher-imposed embargo periods).
Externally funded research projects must also check and meet their funder's Open Access requirements.
For details, see Âéw¶¹´«Ã½'s policy on Managing Open Access.
