Other options

There are other options available for making your research open access. Check your funder’s policy above for their preferred method.

• You can send your research to a subject repository, such as Arxiv or Pubmed Central. Some of these require you to be published or funded by particular organisations, such as the National Institute of Health.
• Some publishers and journals are already open access or offer an open access option, often at a cost to the researcher.
