If a publisher offers a funded-access option, are Wellcome-funded authors obligated to select this option?
15.1 It depends on the policy of the publisher. 15.2 If the publisher offers a funded-access option, the Trust would always encourage its authors to take advantage of this.If, however, the author wishes not to take advantage of a funded-access option, but instead to deposit a version of the manuscript manually, the author may choose between this route and the funded-access option as long as the publisher allows self-archiving of a suitable version of the manuscript within the scope of the Trust’s Grant Conditions 15.3 If a publisher only offers a funded access option – which provides free access to the published version in PMC/UKPMC, at the time of publication – then to comply with the Trust Grant Conditions the author must select this option.By way of example, when publishing with Elsevier, Trust-funded authors must select the funded access option in order to comply with the Trust grant conditions.
