University of Central Lancashire, Open Access Policy 2023

Abstract

As illustrated by the University’s Strategic Plan 2021-2028 the University of Central Lancashire is committed to delivering an environment which supports the production of accessible knowledge and information to realise impacts of relevance to society. UCLan supports the principles of Open Access and is committed to increasing the visibility, use and impact of UCLan research as rapidly and effectively as practicable
The University acknowledges that the current period is one of considerable debate and change in open access publishing. It will therefore adopt a flexible, pragmatic and where possible, sustainable approach to the implementation of this policy. Researchers are advised to contact the Open Research Team for advice before publishing,
