The Research Publications PolicyRead more using the link
Swansea University is committed to disseminating its research and scholarship as widely as possible. It supports the principle that the results of publicly funded research should be freely accessible to the public. Academics at Swansea University have traditionally assigned or given away their scholarly works (in addition to the University’s rights) to publishers by transferring copyright at the point of publication. This means that many journal articles and scholarly works are under complete or partial control by academic publishers.
This research publications policy enables researchers to retain re-use rights in their own work and requires full and immediate open access for all:
* Funded and unfunded peer reviewed research articles, published in either
a journal, conference proceeding or publishing platform
* Book chapters
Authors who are not citing specific grant funding are required to retain their author rights.
