a poor performance can close a department while a top rating means steady funding. To be eligible for assessment in the next REF, all publications will need to be OA with deposit in a repository within 3 months and an embargo period of no more than 12 months. While a BSA member who undertakes self-funded research does not need to use OA, they would not be able to enter their publication into the REF. Reference 1. The current fee for IJA is £1,788 (exc tax) but BSA members receive a 25% discount.
2.
Research Councils UK (RCUK; a Government body that manages the strategic partnership between the seven individual UK research councils) allocate a block grant to institutions to provide for the costs of Gold OA. Other funders allow for the publication fee to be included in the grant costs.
3.
Since IJA has an embargo period of 12 months, this journal will not satisfy the Green OA policy of the Medical Research Council.
