The research publications policy is in place from 1 January 2024 and stipulates full and immediate open access for all journal articles published by staff and students of Manchester Met under a CC-BY licence, in the university’s research repository e-space.
Fill in this waiver form if you wish to opt out of retaining your author rights. Requests will be reasonably considered by the Library (in consultation with Faculty Research Leads where necessary) but will be granted only in exceptional circumstances, and will not be granted where doing so would put the University or researchers in breach of a funder requirement. Opting out applies to one output only; therefore, you must fill out this form for each output where you wish to opt out. This action may cause the research output to be non-compliant with funder policies.
The rights retention waiver form must be completed prior to submission of the work for publication, providing a clear rationale in the relevant section below.
For more information see the Library’s guidance on rights retention.
