University of Portsmouth Open Access Fund
Application Form
(Please return to [email protected])
In accordance with the University’s Open Access Publication Policy,
the preferred choice of route to Open Access (OA) is by making the
‘post-print’ of a published output accessible through the
Institutional Repository (i.e. upload to Pure and the doc becomes
visible on the Research Portal). This is known as Green OA.
However, the University recognises that there may be times when
meeting the requirements of Research England (for the next REF) or
requirements of external funders may be difficult via Green OA, and
that the payment of an Article Processing Charge (APC) is needed (i.e.
OA via the Gold route).
Before completing this form to apply for APC funding, please ensure
that the journal and other comparable journals you could target do not
provide a Green OA option that meets the requirements of Research
England and any external funders.
Applicants should complete this form and wait for the outcome before
submitting their article to the journal. If this form is completed
after submission, acceptance by the journal will not guarantee that
APC funds will be made available. Provided all relevant information is
supplied, a decision is normally anticipated within 10 working days.
Further help: Please see http://port.ac.uk/library/help/research/open/
To check if a journal is compliant with Research England’s and
funder’s OA requirements, please use the Sherpa Romeo or Fact
databases http://www.sherpa.ac.uk . If you have any questions, please
