Open Access has become a growing area for academic publishing partly as the result of funder mandates.

This year the University has had a block grant to help cover the costs associated with Gold OA within the RCUK open access policy, and the University will be reporting to RCUK about our use of this funding later this summer.

As part of the preparations for this report, as well as to guide the University’s support for open access, the Library would like to invite academic and research colleagues to complete a short survey. A report of the survey will be made available in WRAP. All views will remain anonymous unless you wish to provide your name as part of the survey.

To access the survey go to https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/warwickopenaccess. The survey is open until mid-May 2014.

Further OA information and support can be found on the Open Access Website or email openaccessfund at warwick dot ac dot uk.
