The following journal-specific embargo periods are only applicable for UK researchers who wish to self-archive
their accepted manuscript. They apply to those who are a grant recipient from:
• One of the members of Research Councils UK and whose article was published from 1st April 2013.
• Wellcome Trust, subject to the Wellcome Trust's open access policy and whose article was published in
subscription journal before 1st April 2013, but posted after this date.
• UK researchers complying with the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) open access
policy through the green open access route.
These embargo periods reflect the broader UK open access policy environment that was developed
collaboratively among publishers, funding bodies and universities among other stakeholders. The UK
Government have expressed a preference for gold open access and support license extensions. Green open
access (manuscript posting) is just one component of the UK open access landscape. As such, adapted embargo
periods apply for UK researchers. For those institutions and funders whose sole approach is green open access
we use longer and more differentiated embargo periods.
