Important Notice
Please remember to acknowledge PREFACE in all dissemination activities (paper, poster, talks etc.):
“The research leading to these results received funding from the EU FP7/2007-2013 under grant agreement no. 603521.”
Please remember the information from the Grant Agreement (special clause 39): Beneficiaries are required to make their best efforts to ensure that an electronic copy of their published work becomes freely and electronically available to anyone through the publisher or an equivalent repository (latest 6 months after publication).
This means that there are two ways in which researchers can make their work available as open access: 1) Publish in an Open Access journal (Gold Open Access). 2) Self-archive your work, in addition to the journal publication, in an open access institutional or subject-based repository (Green Open Access). Be aware that journal guidelines have to be carefully checked to find out the length of the embargo period and what version of the manuscript can be deposited (final pdf, post-print, pre-print etc.). Visit OpenAire website (available in many languages) for help on how to find a repository, etc. Use the SHERPA/RoMEO tool to find your publisher’s permission regarding open access.
