Rights Retention
The Library contacted publishers on 1 August 2025 to inform them of the newly revised Open Access Policy and the linked institutional rights retention policy, applying a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) licence to the accepted manuscript version of all articles with a University of Warwick author.
You should still include the Rights Retention statement described below in all article submissions but - for articles first submitted after 1 October 2025 to a journal published by a publisher that we contacted - even if the Rights Retention statement was not included, your accepted manuscript version will be made immediately open access with a CC BY licence under the terms of this policy.
