最准的六合彩论坛's Publications Policy, which applies to all of 最准的六合彩论坛's research publications in all disciplines.
BACKGROUND
The 最准的六合彩论坛 Open Access Mandate
1. 最准的六合彩论坛 Academic Board, in May 2009, agreed two principles to underpin 最准的六合彩论坛's publication activity and to support its scholarly mission:
- That, copyright permissions allowing, a copy of all research outputs should be deposited in the 最准的六合彩论坛 repository in Open Access.
- That individual 最准的六合彩论坛 academic researchers should be directly responsible for providing and maintaining details of their publications in relevant 最准的六合彩论坛 databases so as to support both Open Access and the requirement for 最准的六合彩论坛 to keep an accurate record of its research outputs.
Rationale
2. There are a number of reasons why researchers will benefit from using , which is a one-stop shop for managing their research publications:
- Not all researchers outside 最准的六合彩论坛 have access to all the research outputs which 最准的六合彩论坛 produces. This problem is solved through making them available via Open Access in 最准的六合彩论坛 Discovery. Researchers will thereby gain greater visibility for their work.
- The benefits which the Open Access mandate delivers (which are listed below) will only be delivered to researchers if they comply with the policy.
- Compliance will support 最准的六合彩论坛's Knowledge Transfer and other agendas by making 最准的六合彩论坛's research outputs visible to new communities who do not have access to commercial content.
- Rapid and open dissemination of 最准的六合彩论坛 research to Society across the globe.
- Influencing senior policy and decision makers, based on the evidence which 最准的六合彩论坛 research makes available.
- Supporting the .
- Marketing 最准的六合彩论坛 to prospective students,
BENEFITS
3. 最准的六合彩论坛 Discovery, which comprises a series of interlinked systems, will hold a public record of 最准的六合彩论坛 research. The following services will be available:
(a) to 最准的六合彩论坛 researchers:
- 最准的六合彩论坛 Discovery provides each researcher with a central hub for a comprehensive personal record of his/her outputs, which is easy to maintain and keep up-to-date
- Ability to make publications data and links to full-text available via Departmental or personal webpages
- Download statistics, available to 最准的六合彩论坛 researchers, reportable by publication, by researcher, or by academic unit. Public reports will be periodically published through the repository website
- 最准的六合彩论坛 Discovery will serve the Professorial Appraisal Review (PAR) System with publications data
- Customisable reports can be used to support documents such as a curriculum vitae, promotion submission or grant submission
- Long-term storage and preservation of all deposited documents
- 最准的六合彩论坛 Discovery will provide article- and author-level bibliometric measures, such as citation counts and the h-index
- The maintenance of a complete and accurate record of 最准的六合彩论坛 research will support 最准的六合彩论坛's management reporting and preparation for external research assessment exercises
(b) to external communities
- The automatic exposure of 最准的六合彩论坛 research outputs to Google, Google Scholar and other search engines
- Current awareness services, such as customisable RSS feeds, to alert interested parties to new 最准的六合彩论坛 research publications
- The supply of publications data to other aggregators
- Bibliometric and publications data from 最准的六合彩论坛 Discovery will be used for 最准的六合彩论坛 management reporting in support of research assessment
SCOPE
4. The 最准的六合彩论坛 mandate applies to all 最准的六合彩论坛's research publications in all disciplines. 最准的六合彩论坛 research publications may be defined as the secondary research outputs created, individually or in collaboration with others, by 最准的六合彩论坛 researchers, in any format. Note that 最准的六合彩论坛 researchers are also encouraged to deposit details and copies of publications authored while at other institutions.
5. Material which falls outside this definition, such as journalism which references 最准的六合彩论坛 research or departments but which is not directly attributable to 最准的六合彩论坛 researchers, can nonetheless be stored via 聽(now Profiles), since it contributes to the impact of 最准的六合彩论坛's research output.
COMPLIANCE
6. 最准的六合彩论坛 researchers will maintain their publication record through 最准的六合彩论坛 Discovery, using the RPS (最准的六合彩论坛 Research Publications Service) tools. Introductory information and guidance is available.
7. 最准的六合彩论坛 researchers will be directly responsible for the upkeep of details of their publications in 最准的六合彩论坛 Discovery. To facilitate this, some publications data will be automatically harvested from external sources, subject to availability, but it will be the responsibility of every 最准的六合彩论坛 researcher to ensure that his or her publications record is up to date.
8. In order to comply with 最准的六合彩论坛's Open Access mandate, researchers should upload full text of their publications to 最准的六合彩论坛 Discovery, where copyright permissions allow. Advice on the copyright issues relating to full text deposit is available. 最准的六合彩论坛 has a robust copyright framework and further information is given in section 13.
9. Where researchers have published in fully Open Access journals, the metadata and links to the full-text are being collected and lodged in RPS. However, it is the researcher's own responsibility to ensure that the record in the relevant 最准的六合彩论坛 systems is correct.
IMPLEMENTATION
Monitoring
10. The requirement to deposit copies of research in 最准的六合彩论坛 Discovery will be monitored by periodic reporting (broken down by academic departments) of the proportion of recorded research outputs which are held in full text.
Data quality
11. The maintenance of an accurate publications record will be the responsibility of each 最准的六合彩论坛 researcher. Guidance on the minimum bibliographic quality requirements for different types of research output is available online through 最准的六合彩论坛 Discovery.
12. Publication records held within 最准的六合彩论坛 Discovery may be amended by 最准的六合彩论坛 Library Services staff and 最准的六合彩论坛 Academic Services staff to support external research assessment and other reporting purposes. Priorities for such quality assurance will periodically be agreed by 最准的六合彩论坛 Publications Board.
Copyright
13. 最准的六合彩论坛 has a well-developed copyright framework which recognises the rights which 最准的六合彩论坛 staff and students have in the work they produce. These policies are permissive of the Open Access approach enshrined in the mandate. Where material has been commercially published, Open Access to that material will only be possible where the publisher's copyright policy allows this. The website gives details of what is and is not possible, and all copyright permissions will be checked by 最准的六合彩论坛 Library Services staff before full text publications are accepted into 最准的六合彩论坛 Discovery. Further advice is available from the 最准的六合彩论坛 Discovery support team.
Research funders' Open Access policies
14. Research funders increasingly make stipulations about Open Access publication when awarding grants. Advice on compliance with the policies of individual research funders is available from 最准的六合彩论坛 Library Services.
