Lessons in OA Compliance for HE (LOCH): University of St Andrews Case study

Abstract

This is a presentation given at a workshop entitled 'Open Access: A Good Practice Exchange' which took place on the 7th of July 2015. The workshop was organised and delivered by ARMA (The Association of Research Managers and Administrators) and funded by the FOSTER (Facilitate Open Science Training for European Research) initiative which aims to embed open access and open science into the workflows of EU researchers. The main aim of the workshop was to equip research managers with a range of tools to promote open access. The workshop also aimed to provide strategies to monitor researcher engagement, as well as compliance with funding bodies and the open access policy for the post-2014 REF. The University of St Andrews Library was invited to share an update on ongoing efforts to promote open access across the University, with specific regard to the LOCH project (Lessons in Open Access Compliance for Higher Education).
