UKRI Open Access Policy

The UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Open Access Policy aims to make research findings freely available to the public. This means that when researchers receive funding from UKRI, they must ensure their published work can be accessed without any paywalls. This approach promotes transparency, encourages knowledge sharing, and allows everyone—from other researchers to the general public—to benefit from and build upon publicly funded research. Essentially, it ensures that important research is accessible to all, not just those who can afford subscription fees.
