University rights-retention OA policies

2025-05-20T15:13:58Z

SAR2023: Added The Open University - in preparation

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023: Added Middlesex and Leeds Beckett

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023: Correction - Exeter date of adoption

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

2025-02-12T13:12:02Z

SAR2023: Updated Birmingham; Added LSHTM; LSTM; Updated Exeter

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023: Updated Bath

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023:

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023: Updated SOAS; Added Hartpury

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023: Added University of Dundee

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

2024-10-22T15:11:06Z

SAR2023: Added LSE

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023: Essex date edited

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023: Bristol date edited

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

2024-10-09T13:14:10Z

SAR2023: Updated Loughborough

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023: Updated Keele

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023:

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

2024-08-26T16:29:09Z

SAR2023: Added SOAS in preparation

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023: Added University of Derby

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023:

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023: Stavanger updated

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023:

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023: 7 Norwegian University policies added

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''

University rights-retention OA policies

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023: Cranfield updated now policy launched

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023: Updated Imperial College London

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023:

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023: Added University of Bristol

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

2023-10-24T10:28:27Z

SAR2023: Added SCURL consortial entry

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023: Added Queen's University Belfast

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.

'''Notes:'''

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

2023-09-06T09:26:42Z

SAR2023: Added Swansea University, UK - policy announced and adopted July 2023

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

2023-07-25T08:12:38Z

SAR2023:

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023:

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.

University rights-retention OA policies

SAR2023:

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* This is a list of institutional rights-retention open-access policies (IRRPs).
* Many thanks to Luke Drury, Stephen Eglen, Ross Mounce, Sally Rumsey, Peter Suber, and many more for helping put this list together.
* Please use YYYY-MM-DD for dates, this is the ISO 8601 international date standard.
* When we don't have better information, we sometimes use adoption dates rather than effective dates, and policy drafts or announcements rather than policy texts. We'll update both kinds of entries as we get better information.
* Related lists elsewhere:
** Stephen Eglen maintains a [https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html map of UK IRRPs].
** Peter Suber maintains a [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_recommended_in_the_guide list of Harvard-style IRRPs].

'''Notes:'''
* The University of New South Wales policy is more or less mandatory. "Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the President and Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Enterprise" it is not characterized as a simple opt-out and so we do not treat it as such.
