What happens in cases where the journal does not allow the final, peer-reviewed manuscript to be made freely available from PMC/UKPMC within six months of publication?
8.1If a publisher’s policy does not allow the deposition of Trust-funded research papers to be deposited in PMC/UKPMC and made freely available from PMC and all other PMCI repositories within six months of publication, then the author should not proceed with the submission to the journal for publication. 8.2The Wellcome Trust’s Grant Conditions are mandatory and binding on institutions, grantholders, and all others supported by a grant. An author’s obligations to the Wellcome Trust will therefore, in almost all cases, pre-date any agreement with a journal.
