UK Research and Innovation aim to improve access to research outputs and ensure that their Open Access policy is sustainable, represents value for money and is easy to comply with. Consultation on a proposed OA policy opened on 13 February and runs until noon on 17 April.

Details are available at https://www.ukri.org/funding/information-for-award-holders/openaccess/open-access-review/

Individuals are welcome to respond directly to UKRI until 17 April, but the University of Aberdeen will also prepare an institutional response. To have your feedback considered for our response, or if you have any questions about the review, please get in touch via scholcomms@abdn.ac.uk

The deadline for feedback for the University’s response is the end of February.
