The big question
How can we get the researcher to
engage with all of this?
‘Most academics are failing to adopt the principle
of open access, according to Stephen Curry, a
structural biologist at Imperial College London
and campaigner for open access. He says the
RCUK policy may not be forcing enough
academics to change their behaviour to
publish more work—but the inclusion of openaccess requirements in the next Research
Excellence Framework certainly will. “Every single
university in the country is going to make sure
their submissions are REF-compliant,” he says.
“The REF grabs everybody by the balls.”’ Research
