On 1st April 2023, the University implemented its new Self-Archiving Policy covering research articles and conference proceedings authored by Cambridge researchers. This news article introduces the policy and explains why it has been developed to help researchers meet funder requirements and enable immediate open access.
The policy allows University of Cambridge researchers to retain their rights over their paper rather than signing them over to a publisher. Researchers can then self-archive the work in the University’s repository, Apollo, making the work available via the so-called ‘green route’ to open access. The publisher is notified in advance of submission that the researcher will release an open access version of their article upon publication. Read more about the action you need to take on the policy guidance webpage.
