Use the new SHERPA/FACT tool to help you check if a journal’s open access policies complies with the requirements of the open access policies of the research funders that comprise Research Councils UK (RCUK) and the Wellcome Trust. The data on journal policies is drawn from SHERPA/RoMEO and the funders’ policies from SHERPA/JULIET.
The more established SHERPA Romeo website provides details of publisher copyright and archiving policies. This tool will help you establish whether you can deposit your open access research papers in BURO (BU’s institutional repository), via BRIAN for free. Contact the BURO Editorial Team or your Library Subject Team for more help and advice around making your research open access in BURO.
