Dr Leigh Stork, Open Access & Research
Repository Specialist, joins us from Imperial College London with a
wealth of experience in managing many aspects of Open Access. Leigh, along with
Malcolm Horne and Ammar Wahid, will be pushing forward the ‘open science’ agenda at
Aston. An important element of this is to increase the success rate of
Green Open Access. Aston researchers, whether corresponding authors or
co-authors, should:
·
Always
deposit your Author Accepted Manuscript/Final Peer-Reviewed Draft of upcoming
journal articles and conference papers into Pure on or very soon after acceptance (within three
months max.)
Doing
this in all cases meets strict funder requirements (e.g. RCUK and EU) and helps
us prepare for the selection process for REF 2021. Of course, additional
benefits are increased impact and citation rates, appearance in altmetrics, and
interlinking with your School webpages. ORCiD can help too in
ensuring that all your publications and grants are linked to your profile, so
we encourage you to add your ORCiD ID to Pure as well.
