Wellcome Trust funding for Open Access Publication fees

The Wellcome Trust have provided the University with a new open access grant to pay for the open access publication fees of its researchers. The Wellcome Trust grant conditions require that papers accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, that are funded wholly or partially by a Wellcome Trust grant, be made freely available online as soon as possible, and at least within six months of publication.

Wellcome funded researchers may find it useful to refer to the Wellcome Trust's Complying with Open Access flow diagram.

When you are ready to claim OA fees please consult the Wellcome Trust Funding to Support Open Access guide on the library web site.

If you have any questions about the funding for open access publications fees please contact David Clay or phone ext 43950.
