7. Green and Gold Open Access (papers) Two routes of open access of equal scholarly value: Green open access Typically, the final copy of the peer-reviewed publication (post- print/accepted version) is made available free of charge through deposit in a repository. E.g., Exeter’s OREORE Gold open access The publisher provides immediate and unrestricted online access to the final published version, usually involving payment of a fee (Article Processing Charge) - average £1.5k.

8. Implementation at Exeter Academic freedom over where, what and when to publish is paramount. Aligned with Russell Group position. Green OA as the cultural norm – free and open to all equally – via self- deposit of papers on ORE.ORE Depositing Guide for PGRs.Depositing Guide for PGRs Fixed ring-fenced funds for Gold OA via RCUK block grant – first come first served with no internal peer review via PI; quarterly monitoring & release. Wellcome funds open to all Wellcome-funded researchers and PGRs.

9. Embargo Periods RCUK: 6 months (STEM) or 12 months (HASS). If no Gold option is available then the maximum allowable embargo periods are doubled. Other funders operate different policies, e.g., Wellcome: six months. More on publishers’ policies at SHERPA/RoMEO and SHERPA/FACT.SHERPA/RoMEOSHERPA/FACT HEFCE: 12 months (STEM) or 24 months (HASS)
