The Library can provide advice on all aspects of open access publishing including:
Copyright issues
Metadata verification of material in the institutional repository

NHMRC requires that any publication arising from NHMRC supported research must be deposited into an open access institutional repository and/or made available in another open access format immediately from the date of publication.

Metadata: Metadata for all Research Outputs arising from ARC Funded Research must be made available to the public in an Institutional Repository as soon as possible but no later than three (3) months from the date of Publication of the Research Output.

The ARC and NHMRC require you to deposit either one of the following versions of your document:
However, the publisher's policy on open access will determine which version should be deposited.
Specific requirements apply to ARC and NHMRC funded research regarding open access, funding source acknowledgement, copyright and licensing and reporting as detailed in their respective Open Access Policies.
There may be legal or contractual reasons that limit complying with the mandate. The NHMRC and ARC are aware that initial compliance may be affected by pre-existing publishing agreements and the policies provide advice in this case.
