Bedford Library Royal Holloway, University of London, has become the latest university in the UK to give formal approval to an open access publication policy requiring its researchers to deposit copies of their research in the Royal Holloway Research Online (RHRO) repository from September 1, 2010.
The mandate puts the Library firmly at the heart of the research agenda of the College as well as reflecting sector best-practice. It is expected to significantly increase the number of full-text deposits in the RHRO repository. The open access research repository will act as an important medium for the dissemination of Royal Holloway’s research, which will be available for free to anyone, anywhere in the world, with an internet connection.
The move coincides with the forthcoming implementation of a new state-of-the-art research information system at Royal Holloway which will provide the missing link between open access publications, research administration and management information across the College.
