Science Foundation Ireland – Open Access Policy and Guidance
What is this about?
SFI’s Plan S‑aligned policy requires SFI‑funded publications to be made open access, with an expectation to apply CC BY and include rights‑retention wording. The policy hub explains compliant routes (including use of the Journal Checker Tool), clarifies that preprint deposition alone is insufficient for compliance, and offers FAQ and DMP guidance aligned to FAIR principles. It encourages broader open research practices while recognising cases where outputs beyond journal articles may need tailored approaches. Together, the documents provide a practical toolkit for Irish researchers and administrators implementing policy across projects and institutions.
