Details
Following publication of the UKRI open access policy, an analysis was commissioned by UKRI and undertaken by MoreBrains Cooperative to understand:
- the current state of the landscape of descriptive information (metadata) for research publications
- how well the landscape supports implementation of the technical requirements set out in the UKRI open access policy
The analysis shows that the landscape currently does not fully support implementation of the requirements set out in the open access policy and a phased approach to full adoption is necessary. The report makes several recommendations for how this can be achieved.
Building on this report, UKRI is working with MoreBrains Cooperative to support implementation.
Through our stakeholder engagement activities, we identified a need to provide further clarification on elements of the technical requirements set out in the UKRI open access policy. We developed a document in the format of questions and answers, to share more information and respond to this need.
