notes from D.1.1 on open access

Open access cost for publications: beneficiaries should ensure open access for their peer reviewed journal publications according to the following (grant agreement, page 48):

• Deposit a machine readable electronic copy in a repository for scientific publications and the research data needed to validate the results presented in the publications. More information about repositories can be found here: https://www.openaire.eu/participate/deposit/idrepos.
  • Beneficiaries UCAM and UCL have their repositories:
    • UCAM repository →https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/
    • UCL repository→http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/
  • Another oprion is Zenodo @ CERN, an OpenAIRE sponsored repository.
• Ensure open access via the repository at the latest on publication if an electronic version is available for free or within six months of publication in any other case. There are two types of open access:
  • Open access publishing: the article is provided in open access mode by the publisher after the payment of its cost. These costs could be eligible under Horizon 2020, but since they are not predicted in UMOBILE grant agreement, the Project Coordinator will contact the Project Officer to explain the situation and ask for approval.
  • Self-archiving: the article is archived in an online repository. Authors have to still ensure open access to the publication within the ebargo period set by the publisher (up to 12 months).
• Ensure open access via the repository to the bibliographic metadata that identify the deposited publication. The metadata must include the following:
  • The terms “European Union(EU)” and “Horizon 2020”;
  • “Universal, mobile-centric and opportunistic communications architecture-UMOBILE”, Grant agreement number 645124;
  • Publication data, length of embargo period if applicable and;
  • A persistent identifier.

data:statistics, results of experiments, measurements, observations resulting from fieldwork, survey results, interview recordings and images.

Openly accessible research data can typically be accessed, mined, exploited, reproduced and disseminated, free of charge for the user.
