The policy states that, to be eligible for

submission to the post-2014 REF, authors’ final

peer-reviewed manuscripts must have been

deposited in an institutional or subject repository

on acceptance for publication. Deposited material

should be discoverable, and free to read and

download, for anyone with an internet connection.

The requirement applies only to journal articles

and conference proceedings with an International

Standard Serial Number.
