Ukpmc Funders' Policies (robert Kiley, Wellcome Trust)

UKPMC Funders’ mandates

Open access and funder mandates: a workshop for HEI repository managers and OA administrators 24th September 2009 Robert Kiley, Head of Digital Services, Wellcome Library, Wellcome Trust [email protected]

Overview • Discuss the OA policy of the UKPMC Funders – highlighting areas of commonality and where there are subtle differences • Presentation focus on: Œ How authors should comply with policy Œ Consider how OA costs will be met Œ Discuss funder expectations of publishers and institutions

• Questions Œ Your opportunity to ask Funder representatives about their policy and its implementation

But first…look at the problem we are trying to resolve.. • Despite the OA mandate from all of the UKPMC Funders’ compliance is disappointing

Wellcome Trust: compliance with mandate • Around 35% of Trust-funded research papers available in PMC/UKPMC within 6 months of publication Œ

but…95% of journals used by Wellcome-funded authors have a “Wellcome-compliant” publishing option. % of papers in PMC 40.00 35.00

25.00 % of papers in PMC

Will OA- author-pays fees be met by UKPMC funder? Yes Yes

Yes No Yes Yes Yes Yes

How will OA (Route 1) costs be met? • Three main ways: Œ Block grant to meet OA costs. ƒ Used by Wellcome

Œ OA costs funded within grant (direct or indirect) ƒ Used by BBSRC, NIHR, MRC

Œ Ad-hoc claims to meet OA costs. ƒ Used by arc, BHF

How will OA costs (Route 1) will be met: in detail Form for arc researchers to reclaim OA funds available from arc site OA costs incurred whilst grant is “live” will be met from the approved grant. Once grant has finished, these costs should be included as indirect costs of the research institution BHF researchers submit claim to BHF to cover OA costs

CRUK researchers can use their grant – if the money is available. OA costs can not be applied for as part of the grant and no additional claims will be considered. CSO meet costs on an ad hoc basis, either by adding small supplementary funding or by permitting researchers to vire from a category that is underspent. [Policy under review] MRC will pay OA fees where these have been included under Directly Incurred Costs on grant proposals and when costs fall within period of grant. Once grant has finished, these costs should be included as indirect costs of the research institution OA costs met from approved budget. Additional ad hoc OA claims may be considered Additional funds awarded to “Top 30” UK institutions. Trustfunded researchers at other institutions apply for grant supplements
