RGC's New Policy on Greater Access Permission Request to Publishers
(Suggested Template)
Upload your full text in PIRA, and make a permissible version of your work to the scientific community and the public at large. This is the essence behind the OA requirements by PolyU and RGC.
The final accepted manuscript, or post-print, is the version of your article after peer-review, same content as the published version but without type-set or formatting done by the publisher. See an example here.
Send the manuscript to the library as soon as the paper gets accepted! This is because many researchers will not be able to locate this version after the final published version is online. Learn more about different versions of manuscript here.
If your work is published in Gold OA, you can directly send the published version to the library instead. Learn more about publishing in Gold OA here.
You may choose either of these channels:
*Enhanced feature in PIRA submission form: Now you can rapidly retrieve the citation information for your journal publication using DOI. Check out this video to learn how it works.
PIRA team will then check and ensure that the right version of the work is made available online at the right time in accordance with the publishers’ policy for self-archiving.
Your research output will be permanently archived, become more visible via Google and Google Scholar, and also accessible by more people as it is not behind a subscription paywall.
