Support for open access
The Library recognises the need to provide new services to support scholarly communication and to increase the visibility of academic research. Consequently, we have established a range of services to provide research support in this area.
NEWS: The University has received funding from the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) to help with the transition to open access (OA). See more on funding for OA. APRIL 2013: RCUK revised open access policy. See key points and guidance in the RCUK OA policy briefing (PDF, 248 KB).
