6. ERC OA Guidelines
December 2006 - ERC Scientific Council's Statement on Open Access:
– fundamental importance of peer-review in ensuring the certification
and dissemination of high-quality scientific research
– the importance of wide access and efficient dissemination of
research results.
December 2007 – ERC Guidelines for Open Access:
– The ERC requires that all peer-reviewed publications from ERC-
funded research projects be deposited on publication into an
appropriate research repository where available or an institutional
repository, and subsequently made Open Access within 6 months of
publication.
– The ERC considers essential that primary data are deposited to the
relevant databases as soon as possible, preferably immediately after
publication and in any case not later than 6 months after the date of
publication.
