* All articles related to the grant must be reported.
- Peer-reviewed and research articles must be open access
- Invited reviews do not have to be open access (the Library does recommend that when you are invited to do a review, you request that it be open access).
** Best Practice Recommendations: before submitting articles, ask the Library what discounts are available for the journal or visit the Library's OA FAQs (https://weizmann.libanswers.com/oajournals/)
- either plan to publish in fully-open-access journals OR budget for hybrid publication from non-grant funds and consult with the Library regarding possible discounts
- post in arXiv as preprint -- when this is done, some publications allow immediate open access for the accepted version
- If your grant has a website or page, the DMP can be posted there. If there is not a grant website or page, the DMP can be housed in WIS Works
- when creating a DMP, the Library recommends using WIS Works datasets up to XXX in size can be housed WIS Works and links
*** All types of costs related to covered publication may be funded from it, i.e., not only publication fees but also page charges, illustration charges, etc.
