UCLP Open Access means making research publications
from UCL Partners freely available online via UCL Discovery.
Open
access maximises the dissemination and
visibility of research worldwide. It makes authors’ work accessible to all
fellow researchers, and to society as a whole. There are no payment barriers for readers of open
access publications, so everyone can read them free of charge.
The new UCLP Open Access service
is being piloted at the Royal Free: Royal Free Hospital Library staff will be supporting staff at the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust in making
all types of research outputs open access – including articles, proceedings,
book chapters, working papers and more: all research outputs will be eligible
to be deposited in UCL Discovery,
UCL’s and partners’ Open Access repository, copyright permitting. All research outputs that
are deposited will also be available via Google searches since Discovery is
indexed by Google.
The pilot will test and finetune procedures, with a gradual
roll-out of the functioning service more widely within UCL Partners. Royal Free London NHS Trust
researchers are invited to arrange submission of their research outputs upon
acceptance for publication. Further information.
