Rights Retention

The University of Aberdeen adopted a Research Publications and Copyright Policy in 2022. It is designed to support authors and help to share University research as widely as possible, in the output of your choice. 

The policy was introduced in November 2022 with all UoA authors expected to follow its requirements from 1 May 2023. The policy will be amended in Autumn 2024 to include longform outputs, where a funder mandate is in place.
