Hi everyone,

 

Pure enables universities and researchers to comply with the HEFCE open access policy. For more information on Pure, please refer to https://www.elsevier.com/solutions/pure.

 

Elsevier sharing policies are also consistent with the HEFCE policy.  Gold open access articles can of course be shared immediately.  Subscription articles are made available via Green open access.  In the UK we have lowered embargo periods for authors as part of the balanced package of moves toward OA brokered amongst stakeholders by the Finch Group.  This is made perfectly clear on our website, and I invite list readers to read this text for themselves.  Go to  https://www.elsevier.com/about/open-science/open-access/agreements and select ‘United Kingdom’ from the pull-down list.

 

With kind wishes,

Alicia
