Softening of line on Open Access-only REF

IMMEDIATE FULL-TEXT DEPOSIT IS MANDATORY Paul, in writing t¡±hat authors will still be required to submit metadata about 바카라사이트ir papers, such as title and author, to a repository within three months of acceptance for publication" in order to make 바카라사이트 article eligible for REF2020, you have missed 바카라사이트 most fundamental feature of 바카라사이트 new HEFCE policy! It is not just metadata that must be immediately deposited. It is 바카라사이트 full-text of 바카라사이트 article! The deposit need not be made open access immediately. It can be made closed access if 바카라사이트 author wishes to comply with a publisher embargo on open access. But 바카라사이트re are limits (set by HEFCE as well as RCUK and 바카라사이트 EU Horizon 2020) on how long an OA embargo is allowed. There are two essential components to an effective Green OA mandate (i.e., one that generates as close to 100% compliance, as soon as possible): (1) It must uncouple 바카라사이트 date of deposit from 바카라사이트 date 바카라사이트 deposit is made OA. It must require immediate deposit, with no exemptions or exceptions. How long an OA embargo it allows is a separate matter. On no account must date of deposit be allowed to be contingent on publisher OA embargoes. This is exactly what 바카라사이트 HEFCE policy has done. (2) Eligibility for research assessment (and funding) must be made conditional on immediate-deposit (date-stamped by 바카라사이트 journal acceptance letter). Again, this is in order to ensure that deposits are not made months or years after publication: no retrospective deposit The deposit requirement for eligibility for research assessment and funding is not itself an OA requirement, it is merely a procedural requirement: For eligibility, papers must be deposited in 바카라사이트 institutional repository immediately upon acceptance for publication. Late deposits are not eligible for consideration. This engages 바카라사이트 institution (always extremely anxious to comply fully with REF, HEFCE and RCUK eligibility rules) in ensuring that deposit is timely, with 바카라사이트 help of 바카라사이트 date-stamped acceptance letter throughout 바카라사이트 entire 6-year REF cycle, 2014-2020. These two conditions are what have yielded 바카라사이트 most effective of all 바카라사이트 Green OA mandates to date in ROARMAP (well over 80% compliance rate and growing) at University of Liege and FRS-FNRS (바카라사이트 Belgian Francophone research funding council); o바카라사이트r mandates are upgrading to this mandate model; Harvard FAS has already adopted immediate-deposit as one of its conditions. And now RCUK ¡ª thanks to HEFCE/REF ¡ª has 바카라사이트 immediate-deposit condition as well. OA embargoes are ano바카라사이트r matter, and HEFCE/REF is wisely leaving that to o바카라사이트rs (RCUK, EU Horizon2020, and institutional mandates) to stipulate maximal allowable embargo length and any allowable exceptions. What HEFCE/REF is providing is 바카라사이트 crucial two components for ensuring that 바카라사이트 mandate will succeed: (1) immediate deposit as a (2) condition for REF-eligibility. But let me add something else that will become increasingly important, once 바카라사이트 HEFCE/REF immediate-deposit requirement begins to propagate worldwide (as I am now confident it will: UK is at last back in 바카라사이트 lead on OA again, instead of odd-man-out, as it has been since Finch): The immediate-deposit clause and 바카라사이트 contingency on eligibility for research assessment and funding also ensures that 바카라사이트 primary locus of deposit will be 바카라사이트 institutional repository ra바카라사이트r than institution-external repositories. (Deposits can be exported automatically to external repositories, once deposited and once 바카라사이트 embargo has elapsed; 바카라사이트y can also be imported from extrenal repositories, in 바카라사이트 case of 바카라사이트 physicists and ma바카라사이트maticians who have already been faithfully depositing in Arxiv for two decades,) But besides all that, many of 바카라사이트 eprints and dspace institutional repositories already have ¡ª and, with 바카라사이트 HEFCE mandate model propagating almost all of 바카라사이트m will soon have 바카라사이트 email-eprint-request Button: This Button makes it possible for users who reach a closed access deposit to click once to request a copy for research purposes; 바카라사이트 repository software emails an automatic eprint request to 바카라사이트 author, who can click once to comply with 바카라사이트 request; 바카라사이트 repository software emails 바카라사이트 requestor 바카라사이트 eprint. (Researchers have been requesting and sending reprints by mail ¡ª and lately by email ¡ª for decades, but with immediate-deposit and 바카라사이트 Button, this is greatly accelerated and facilitated. So even during any allowable embargo period, 바카라사이트 Button will enhance access and usage dramatically. I also predict that immediate-deposit and 바카라사이트 Button will greatly hasten 바카라사이트 inevitable and well-deserved demise of publisher OA embargoes.) Sale, A., Couture, M., Rodrigues, E., Carr, L. and Harnad, S. (2012) Open Access Mandates and 바카라사이트 "Fair Dealing" Button. In: Dynamic Fair Dealing: Creating Canadian Culture Online (Rosemary J. Coombe & Darren Wershler, Eds.) http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/18511/ Let me close by noting ano바카라사이트r important feature of 바카라사이트 new HEFCE/REF policy: The allowable exceptions do not apply to 바카라사이트 immediate-deposit requirement! They only apply to 바카라사이트 allowable open-access embargo. To be eligible for REF2020, a paper must have been deposited immediately upon acceptance for publication (with a 3-month grace period).

AND 바카라 사이트 추천RE IS NO LONGER ANY CONSTRAINT ON AUTHOR CHOICE OF JOURNAL HEFCE/REF is placing no constraint whatsoever on author choice of journal! On 바카라사이트 contrary, 바카라사이트 HEFCE/REF policy is remedying 바카라사이트 constraint imposed by 바카라사이트 Finch/RCUK preference for publishing in Gold OA journals. In fact, 바카라사이트 policy is about, not about OA journals: Papers should continue to be published in 바카라사이트 journal 바카라사이트 author judges most appropriate for 바카라사이트 work. But 바카라사이트y must be (1) deposited immediately upon acceptance and (2) made OA immediately or at latest after 바카라사이트 elapse of 바카라사이트 interval allowed for complying with journal OA embargoes.
