UKRI announced its new open access policy in August 2021.
This policy applies to publications which need to acknowledge funding from UKRI or any of its councils. This includes funding from:
- the research councils
- Research England
- Innovate UK.
It aims to ensure that findings from research funded by the public through UKRI can be freely accessed, used and built on.
The policy applies to:
- peer-reviewed research articles submitted for publication on or after 1 April 2022
- monographs, book chapters and edited collections published on or after 1 January 2024.
