Update

HEFCE’s new open access requirements for the next REF are now in force, and the Library,

with Research and Enterprise, have been working to support colleagues across the University

to prepare for these new requirements. We have made our core message as simple as

possible:

“Deposit your accepted manuscript into USIR when you receive the acceptance message, and

we will be in touch if you need to do anything else”

We have been organising communication activities to disseminate this message and

emphasise the importance of this issue

University wide activity

An all staff email from Professor Nigel Mellors was sent on 11 March with an internal news item published the same day

All academic staff were emailed by the Library on 1 April

All PGRs received communication through the SPoRT Blackboard site on 9 March

PGRs in each School were emailed at the beginning of April

Local activity

Flyers have been distributed to academic staff pigeonholes in several Schools (CSE, SoBE and ELS)

Posters have been distributed (SBS, SoBE, PGR Study Space in Clifford Whitworth)

All Research Centre Directors have been offered additional support which has led to extra emails sent by the Directors, presentations at SREC meetings and even a planned presentation at the ELS School Congress

Future work

More flyers and posters are available if Schools can recommend where they should be distributed

Library staff continue to be available to attend events or provide text / briefings on request

We will now be compliance checking each deposit into USIR and contacting authors with advice if their paper is non-compliant

From April to July, the Library will be piloting an approach using public databases to identify some of the papers that have not been deposited so that authors can be contacted about these

If you would like to suggest other ways in which we can support compliance please contact us.

Many thanks

The Open Access Team
