Open Access
Overview
A growing number of funding agencies around the world now stipulate that research articles they have funded must be made open access. This may be either by mandating deposit in repositories (“green” open access) or by stipulating that research is published in open access journals (“gold” open access).
AAIDD Compliance With Funder Agencies’ Open Access Mandates Through Self-Archiving
Funder open access mandates can be fulfilled through green open access as a result of AAIDD’s self-archiving policies. Authors who publish in AAIDD journals are expected to deposit the final, published version of the article into an institutional or centrally organized subject repository, immediately upon publication. This is provided that the author includes a link to the published version of the article on the journal's Web site and that the journal and AAIDD are attributed as the original place of publication, with appropriate citations provided.
Individual Funder Agencies' Open Access Mandates
