REF open access consultation
REF Open Access Consultation is now live on the UKRI engagement hub. The consultation period will conclude at midday on Monday, June 17, 2024. Consultation responses will be analysed and will inform the final policy. While individual responses are strongly encouraged, University of Exeter seeks to compile community feedback for an institutional response.
To support the institutional consultation:
The Library is organising two open sessions for all staff to support clarity of the proposal:
-
17th April 2-3pm: register here
-
23rd April 10-11am: register here
A brief Microsoft Form Survey has been prepared to enable feedback from the community. Share your thoughts anonymously by completing the survey by 25th April 6pm.
Please note that until the final REF 2029 Open Access Policy is implemented, outputs should continue to adhere to REF 2021 Open Access Policy.
