The Exeter Research and Institutional Content archive (ERIC)
ERIC is a set of services provided by the Collections and Research Support Division (Academic Services) to the University members for the management, preservation and dissemination of their digital research output and data sets. It is an online, Open Access collection which includes articles, conference papers, book chapters, reports and associated data.
Any kind of material can be considered as long as it is a research output or data sets.

Everything you need to know about Open Access
An interesting 23 minutes Open Access video presentation by Stevan Hanard was shown at the European Rectors' meeting on Open Access.
(The very brief
introduction is in French; the rest is in English)
Maintaining your right to self-archive:
ERIC encourages you to consider the documents below for that purpose.
• The SPARC Addendum can be used to modify your current copyright agreement with a journal publisher which will allow you to keep key rights to your articles.
http://www.arl.org/sparc/author/addendum.html
• The SURF-JISC Copyright Toolbox provides a licence to publish model agreement enabling the author to retain copyright but giving the publisher the rights to publish his/her work. Also, gives sample wording for various options in case an author or a publisher would like to amend a publishing agreement in certain circumstances.
The difference between The SURF-JISC Copyright Toolbox and the SPARC Addendum is that tha Toolbox is an entire licence, replacing the publisher's own, however the SPARC Addendum is to modify an existing agreement.
We do encourage academics to register with ERIC and submit their most recent research upon acceptance for publication. Further details are in the Deposit Guide.
