During proposal writing:
- Outline your dissemination and exploitation strategy, including open access >> impact section of the proposal (how will results be shared, data be managed and shared?)
- Include resources for publication costs (what journals, how many publications, what does it cost on average?) Publishing all articles in APC based open access journals is probably not the right solution, as this can take a substantial amount of the overall project budget.
- Combine publishing in open access journals with depositing in repositories strategies to achieve maximum of open access.
- Include additional provisions in the Consortium Agreement - where to deposit, who is responsible.
- Implement your dissemination strategy, report at reviews.
- Keep track of the issues, ask for advice (publisher embargos, repositories for specific material, etc.). We are here to help!
- Who takes care of depositing in repositories after the project ends?
