RCUK position statement 19 April 2005 RCUK Consultation on access to and dissemination of the outputs of research RCUK has agreed a position statement on access to and dissemination of the outputs of research funded by the Research Councils. This information was circulated to Vice-Chancellors in March, to give them an opportunity to comment before the document is finalised. RCUK expect to formally release the statement in its definitive form in mid-May 2005……….

At last, proposed position statement 28 th June RCUK proposes: A requirement for all grants awarded from 1 October 2005 that, subject to copyright and licensing arrangements, a copy of any resultant published journal articles or conference proceedings should be deposited in an appropriate e-print repository (either institutional or subject-based) wherever such a repository is available to the award-holder. Deposit should take place at the earliest opportunity, wherever possible at or around the time of publication. Research Councils will also encourage, but not formally oblige, award- holders to deposit articles arising from grants awarded before 1 October Councils will ensure that applicants for grants are allowed, subject to justification of cost-effectiveness, to include in the costing of their projects the predicted costs of any publication in author-pays journals The Councils are seeking views on their position statement published today (to 31 st Aug 2005)

21 September 2005 Research Councils UK moves forward with position on access to research outputs Following the end of a period of consultation over the summer, Research Councils UK (RCUK) is maintaining momentum on its proposed position on access to research outputs. A final announcement is expected in November.
