We partially accept this recommendation. 52. The UKRI open access policy seeks to ensure that research articles, monographs, book chapters and edited collections that acknowledge its funding are made freely accessible. From January 2024, UKRI’s open access policy will also apply to monographs, book chapters and edited collections, ensuring the full breath of research funded is made freely accessible. UKRI will be reviewing the progress of its policy for research articles in 2024. 53. UKRI welcomes and supports the aspiration for 100% of UK research articles to be open access, and to achieve this continues to work with other funders to support their efforts to implement open access policies. Major UK research funders, including UKRI, have put in place immediate open access policies, and more are currently considering updating policies. Nevertheless, there are complexities in implementation that require action from many stakeholders, including publishers, research organisations and researchers.
