Open Access

The Australian Research Council (ARC) has an open access policy which requires:

• All 'research outputs' should be open access within 12 months of publication.
• A repository record with publication details (title, authors, etc.) must be public within 3 months of publication. The record must include the ARC Project ID.
• If a publication cannot be made open access within 12 months, or at all, an explanation must be provided in the Final Report.

For the purpose of this policy, 'research outputs' include:

• Peer reviewed journal articles
• Peer reviewed conference papers, published in full proceedings
• Books and book chapters
• Other written outputs that have "undergone external review of an equivalent standard to traditional academic review"
