RCUK policy on open access: University of St Andrews compliance report 1 August 2014 – 31 July 2015

Abstract

This is the second Open Access compliance report produced for RCUK by the University of St Andrews. In April 2013, the revised Research Councils UK (RCUK) policy on Open Access came into effect; it applies to the publication of peer-reviewed research articles that acknowledge funding from the UK’s Research Councils that are submitted for publication from 1st April 2013, and which are published in journals or conference proceedings. As required by RCUK this second compliance report was produced in October 2015 to help RCUK understand how the University of St Andrews is progressing on implementing the Open Access policy.
