O! She doth teach the torches to burn bright: How JULIET can help authors and repository advocates.

JULIET is a service provided by SHERPA. Its mission is to provide a brief summary of each funding agency’s policy on self-archiving of the published research they have funded. Each entry covers the requirements and details: -Whether archiving is mandatory or encouraged, -What should be deposited -Within what time frame this deposit should take place -Where articles should be deposited -Any conditions attached to this deposit. JULIET interacts with other services such as RoMEO, which listed publisher policies on self-archiving. JULIET is being developed to include funding agency’s policies on open access to data.

Open Access through the Depot

The mission of "the Depot" is to provide a service that enables all UK academics to share in the benefits of open access exposure for their post-print research outputs. It does this by providing a national intake and storage facility - the Depot - for use by any UK academic in Higher Education. This article describes the Depot and the service it provides.
