- When submitting and article, add the following statement in the funding acknowledgment section of the AAM or on the cover letter: “For the purpose of open access, the author has applied a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) licence to any Author Accepted Manuscript version arising from this submission.”
- This statement informs the journal’s publisher that the CC BY licence already applies to the AAM and it can therefore be made OA in the institutional repository on publication. This prior licence takes precedence over any subsequent licences of copyright.
- If you’re not able to add a RR statement, read our FAQ on opting out.
