Making a version of work\u00a0(usually a postprint or author-accepted manuscript) available in an open access repository. These can be institutional such as CADAIR<\/a>\u00a0or subject based, such as arXiv<\/a>,\u00a0PubMed Central<\/a> or RePec<\/a>. Placing work in ResearchGate<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0other social media collections\u00a0is not considered to be Green open access.<\/p>\n

HEFCE Open Access Rules<\/strong><\/p>\n

The open access availability rules which the HEFCE\u2019s apply for UK higher education authored papers to be eligible for the next Research Excellence Framework exercise, as variously amended at: http:\/\/www.hefce.ac.uk\/rsrch\/oa\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Institutional Repository<\/strong><\/p>\n

A<\/strong>n online archive of an institution\u2019s scholarly outputs which can include publications in peer-reviewed journals, books and book-sections, technical reports, working papers, monographs, conference presentations, audio\/visual materials, mathematical models or any other research content that has scholarly value.<\/p>\n

Metadata<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Data that describes the format and content of material in a repository or database. For items in open access repositories, this usually consists of a minimum of full bibliographic reference, abstract, keywords, any embargo details and web address.<\/p>\n

Open Access<\/strong><\/p>\n

The process by which research results can be made freely available to anyone with an internet connection rather than keeping those results hidden behind a subscription paywall.<\/p>\n

Postprint<\/strong><\/p>\n

The author’s peer reviewed and corrected manuscript, usually created in Word or LaTeX. When publishers require authors to upload their final postprint version of an article into a formatted page, this document is considered to be the Author Accepted Manuscript (AAM)<\/p>\n

Any one of the preliminary drafts of an article before it has been peer-reviewed and possibly even before any submission to a publisher.<\/p>\n

PURE<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Current Research Information System (CRIS) used by Aberystwyth University to manage research metadata and\u00a0to deposit<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>related publications.<\/p>\n

The open access availability rules which RCUK applies for papers to be eligible for assessment in the award of future RCUK grants \u2013 as variously amended at: http:\/\/www.rcuk.ac.uk\/research\/openaccess\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The Research Excellence Framework devised by the UK Higher Education Funding Councils for assessing the quality of research in UK universities and HE colleges.<\/p>\n

Repository<\/strong><\/p>\n

An online database of Open Access works. Repositories do not undertake peer review but do hold material that has been peer reviewed elsewhere. In addition repositories can hold ‘grey literature’ such as Theses, Discussion Papers, Datasets and other material.<\/p>\n

Scholarly Communication \/ Output<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A piece of research content, including articles, books, chapters, technical reports, working papers, monographs, conference presentations, audio\/visual materials, research datasets, mathematical models and sequence data amongst others.<\/p>\n

Sherpa Databases<\/strong><\/p>\n

A set of databases detailing the Open Access requirements of journals, publishers and research funders and allowing the matching of Open Access requirements between these sub-sets (e.g. for HEFCE REF eligibility requirements)<\/p>\n

Subject Repository<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

An online archive of open access literature in particular fields e.g. PubMed Central and arXiv. Can include preprints, postprints or final versions of articles as determined by the repositories\u2019 own rules or publishers\u2019 conditions<\/p>\n
