Funders' Open Access mandates
The research funders listed below require that publications resulting from their funding be made available in Open Access, either directly through the publisher by paying an 'article processing charge' (APC) or by including the author's version of your article in a free online database, such as e.g. the Document Server (i.e. UHasselt's institutional repository). Some of them explicitly endorse Plan S, which has been in effect since 2021, and requires researchers to make their publication available in Open Access immediately. More information on the Open Access policies of research funders can be found in the Sherpa Juliet database.
No rights can be derived from the information below. For up to date information about funders’ Open Access policies, please consult their websites.
