A new agreement between IOP Publishing (IOPP) and Jisc will enable the provision of journal articles published on a gold open access basis directly to institutional repositories in the UK. Using a service called the Jisc Publications Router, IOPP will pass published articles, in their final published versions, directly to the correct institutional repositories of their authors.
Currently, individual researchers or librarians need to ensure that articles are deposited in institutional repositories, and the manual process for this leads to high administrative overheads and incomplete compliance. According to Graham McCann, Head of Content and Platform at IOPP, this agreement with Jisc removes that burden from researchers, helping them to meet funder and institutional mandates for making publications available in these repositories.
Future technical development will enable IOPP to deposit articles on a green open access basis, in their Accepted Manuscript versions, as an extension of the agreement and in compliance with IOPP’s embargo and licensing terms.
