If you receive funding from the ARC or NHMRC, you must comply with their respective open access policies. The most recent version of these policies can be found on the ARC and NHMRC websites. Both ARC and NHMRC open access policies require that:
- Publication details (metadata) is added to an institutional repository within three (3) months of publication. Western Sydney University's institutional repository is ResearchDirect.
- The publication is open access within 12 months of publication. This can be either the published version of the publication or the author's accepted manuscript.
- If you received international funding, check the funders' website and Sherpa Juliet for details of the funders' Open Access policy.
Make your thesis, research publications and output open by depositing your content in ResearchDirect
