What are the Wellcome Trust open access publication requirements?
The Wellcome Trust (WT) now requires its grant holders to deposit an “electronic copy of any research papers that have been accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, and that are supported in whole or in part by Wellcome Trust funding, into PubMed Central (PMC) or UK PubMed Central (UKPMC), as soon as possible and in any event within six months of the journal publisher’s official date of publication”. The WT open access position statement gives further details and is supported by a WT author’s guide and FAQ.
