UK alliance backs Open Access
The Wellcome Trust has announced the formation of the UK Open Access Implementation Group to ” coordinate evidence, policies, systems, advice and guidance, to make open access an easy choice for authors and one that benefits all universities.”
The high level group is chaired by Martin Hall, Vice Chancellor at the University of Salford who spoke at the recent Future of Research conference, and includes senior members of RLUK, the UK Research Councils and the Wellcome Trust. They aim to drive debate and maximise the impact of UK research.
