What are Funder groups?
Some funders have been classified into different groups within our service, which allows easier recognition of their common open access policy elements. Funders can be in more than one group.
The current groups are as follows:
- Association of Medical Research Charities
- These funders support AMRC Open Research, which is a platform for rapid author-led publication and open peer review of research funded by AMRC member charities.
- Europe PMC Funders' Group
- These funders expect the research they fund to be made available through PubMed Central (PMC) and Europe PMC as soon as possible, and in any event within six months of the journal publisher's official date of final publication.
- Plan S Funders
- These are funders that have endorsed Plan S and are jointly working on its implementation.
- REF
- Research England manages the REF on behalf of all four UK higher education funding bodies: Research England, the Scottish Funding Council, the Medr, Wales’ Commission for Tertiary Education and Research and the Department for the Economy, Northern Ireland.
