Eligible article types: Original research papers, generally presenting new results. 

Number of included articles: There is no limit on the number of articles that can be published by UNSW corresponding authors under the agreement.

Sharing via repositories: Please note UNSW corresponding authors can comply with the Open Access policy by retaining the rights to the Author Accepted Manuscript and depositing a copy into UNSWorks (via ROS) 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.
