The policy states that, to be eligible for
submission to the post-2014 REF, authors’ final
peer-reviewed manuscripts must have been
deposited in an institutional or subject repository
on acceptance for publication. Deposited material
should be discoverable, and free to read and
download, for anyone with an internet connection.
The requirement applies only to journal articles
and conference proceedings with an International
Standard Serial Number.
