To assist University of Manitoba and its authors to make informed, confident decisions in open access publication and compliance. 

Three steps to compliance

STEP 1

Understand funder’s OA policy
  • Sherpa Juliet: look up funders’ conditions for OA publication

STEP 2

Plan to publish, deposit
  • Sherpa Romeo: look up publishers’ conditions for OA archiving (i.e. deposit as alternative to APCs) on journal-by-journal basis
  • OpenDOAR: use to identify, browse and search world’s repositories

STEP 3

Check plan, future-proof it
  • Sherpa Fact: check your chosen journal against funder OA policies
  • How Can I Share It: an initiative by 8 of the largest academic publishers, this resource aids in how to share journal articles
