Information for authors in receipt of federal funding
If you are in receipt of a grant from, or in the employ of, a federally funded organization please ensure you are familiar with the requirements of your specific funder/employer regarding public access to published research. Most federal funding agencies now require that the published articles resulting from research they have funded is made publicly accessible immediately.
Our policy does not permit immediate public access / open access via institutional or subject repositories for articles published on a subscription basis. Authors wishing to share the accepted manuscript version of your article or the final version of record without any embargo will need to publish their work on a gold open access basis.
IOP Publishing is a member of CHORUS (Clearinghouse for the Open Research of the United States). This means that if you publish your article on a gold open access basis in one of our journals then it will automatically be registered in your funder’s repository with a link through to the final version in the journal, enabling you to comply with the funder policy without additional effort.This automatic service will apply for work funded by the following agencies and institutions:
- Department of Defense (DOD)
- Department of Energy (DOE)
- Department of the Interior (DOI)
- National Science Foundation (NSF)
- Office of the Department of National Intelligence (ODNI)
- Smithsonian Institution (SI)
- US Agency for International Development (USAID)
- National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
- US Department of Agriculture (USDA)
If you publish your article on a subscription basis then the service will enable public access to the article after a 12 month embargo period.
