NHMRC supports the sharing of outputs from NHMRC funded research including publications and data. The aims of the NHMRC Open Access Policy are to mandate the open access sharing of publications and encourage innovative open access to research data. This policy also requires that patents resulting from NHMRC funding be made findable through listing in SourceIP.
AHRECS believes this was a useful opportunity for the NHMRC to direct funding recipients not to publish funded research with illegitimate publishers
.
All recipients of NHMRC grants must therefore comply with all elements of the NHMRC Open Access Policy
