UK open access life cycle

In the centre circle, we have used the 7 stages of the publishing process as described by Neil Jacobs (Jisc), this is followed by institutional processes – of course not all institutions will have all of these processes up and running, e.g. we don’t all have a CRIS. We then included publisher services that directly impact upon the work of the open access team and also Jisc OA services. We then went on to map Jisc OA and above campus services to the life cycle – doing this we immediately found an issue with Publication Router, which is why we have included it twice, once where it currently affects the life cycle and once where we think it should sit – at point of acceptance. Finally, we added the 6 sections of OAWAL showing where we think that fits with the life cycle.
