Sharing via repositories: BUP’s standard self-archiving/Green OA policy states that the authors' accepted manuscript may be made available in repositories 12 months after publication in a journal issue. However, authors whose funder (e.g. UKRI, Wellcome, NIHR, cOAlition S) and/or institution (e.g. those with Rights Retention policies) require it may deposit their accepted manuscripts without embargo and with a CC BY licence. BUP will respect Funder and/or Institutional Rights Retention Strategies/Policies and will not impose any restrictions (including but not limited to embargoes and licence limitations) on the use and dissemination of the Accepted Manuscript (AAM) and agrees that the use and dissemination of the AAM shall not breach the exclusivity of any licence of the ‘version of the record’ granted to BUP. Further information can be found at BUP Green (self-archiving) Open Access Policy.

How to submit your article for open access publishing:

1. The UNSW corresponding author should follow the usual article submission process via the publisher website.

2. On acceptance of the article, the publisher will ask the corresponding author to complete a form (publishing agreement).

3. On acceptance of the manuscript, the payment system will allow UNSW corresponding authors to choose UNSW as their institution and remove the open access fee. Articles from authors at participating institutions will be published under a CC BY licence.

4. To comply with the Open Access policy the UNSW corresponding author will need to retain the rights to either the Published Version of Record or Author Accepted Manuscript, and deposit into UNSWorks using a CC BY licence.

Corresponding authors should not use personal email addresses (e.g. Hotmail, Gmail) or email addresses affiliated with other organisations, research centres or institutes. Otherwise they may be ineligible under the terms of this agreement.
