The Benefits to the Researcher

IRCSET PROPOSED POLICY All researchers must lodge their publications resulting in whole or in part from IRCSET-funded research in an open access repository as soon as possible after publication, to be made openly accessible within 6 months at the latest. The repository may be a local institutional repository and/or a subject repository; Authors should deposit post-prints (or publishers version if permitted) plus metadata of articles accepted for publication in peer-reviewed journals and international conference proceedings; Deposit should be made upon acceptance by the journal/conference. Repositories should release the metadata immediately, with access restrictions to full text article to be applied as required.
