I’m publishing in a fully open access journal. Do I still need to upload the accepted manuscript?

You should upload your accepted manuscript even if you are publishing in a fully open access journal because: 

1. Articles must be uploaded in a repository to be eligible for the REF within three months of acceptance to be REF compliant, 
2. We will be able to advise you on the correct open access option to select, if there is a choice, and 
3. If there is a fee to pay, we will be able to advise you whether or not we can pay it from our block grant.
