Library Services to Support Funding Applications and Research Projects: Before - Publishing in an Open Access Repository

Most funders require research publications to be made available in an open access requirement. UCD’s open access repository: Research Repository UCD, enables the self-archiving of research papers following publication in a subscription journal: https://libguides.ucd.ie/openaccess/greengold 

Submitting material to the Repository is not intended to be an alternative to standard publication. It is a complementary approach designed to showcase UCD's research output, and to provide a searchable, multi-disciplinary, managed and curated resource. There will also be a link to the published version from the cover page of the Repository version.
