Submission to the Australian Research Council: Consultation re Funding Rules Revision

Abstract

APSR wishes to address three matters in the Funding Rules and associated Funding Agreements as they apply to Discovery, Linkage and Special Research Initiative Grants: • the preservation and sharing of research data; • the deposition of research article preprints in institutional repositories; and • the publication of research articles in open access journals. This submission is designed to facilitate your objective that eligibility criteria for ARC funding be “robust, up to date and relevant.” In making this submission, APSR has highlighted current directions in the United Kingdom and the United States of America as best practice.
