  3. 3. ANU Open Access Policy • The University's Open Access Policy contains a commitment to the dissemination of research findings as essential both to:  differentiate the University's research excellence and support national and international research excellence.
  4. 4. ARC & NHMRC – • ARC: from 1 January 2013, Any publications arising from an ARC supported research Project must be deposited into an open access institutional repository within a twelve (12) month period from the date of publication. http://www.arc.gov.au/arc- open-access-policy • NHMRC: from 1 July 2012 NHMRC requires that any publication arising from NHMRC supported research must be deposited into an open access institutional repository and/or made available in another open access format within a twelve month period from the date of publication. https://www.nhmrc.gov.au/grants-funding/policy/nhmrc-open- access-policy
  5. 5. Benefits of open access • Delivers a worldwide audience larger than any subscription-based journal, regardless of its prestige or popularity. • Demonstrably increases the visibility of your research. Publishing in the University's repository also sends data to Google Scholar, Trove and other discovery services. • Significantly increases the impact of an authors' work, thereby creating potential for a higher number of citations. The impact of your research can be seen through the University repository's statistics as well as citation tools including the Altmetric donut. • Helps researchers satisfy the requirements of funding bodies, such as the Australian Research Council (ARC) and the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). • Enables researchers to manage and promote their publications. • Provides a persistent web address for each article that can be used for citation • Ensures the ongoing preservation of a digital copy of your thesis.
