Have you recently published a paper, or are you planning to submit a manuscript for publication in a peer-reviewed journal? Many publishers allow authors to deposit a version of work into their institution’s repository. Green open access, or self-archiving in an institutional repository like cIRcle, provides authors with an avenue for sharing their work openly, without any fees.
Where do I start?
If you’ve recently published an article and want to make it freely available via cIRcle, the following resources and guides can help you get started:
Publishing grant-funded research articles in cIRcle : The Green Open Access Route : this blog provides an overview of the Green Open Access framework, considerations for Tri-Agency funded research projects & outputs, and detailed instructions about how to prepare your publication for deposit to cIRcle.
UBC Library’s Author’s Guide to Self-Archiving, Publication Versions and Permissions: this two-page quick reference guide outlines key components of the publication process, from figuring out which version of your work can be shared and when, to instructions onhow to locate a publisher’s self-archiving permissions.
Copyright & Permissions for Faculty & Staff: our Faculty & Staff submissions page offers additional information, instructions, and links to resources that can help you get started with exploring options for sharing your work open access, based on where and when your work was published.
