New prior licence model ensures immediate open access
In 2025, 911±¬ÁÏÍø introduced a prior licence model aimed at supporting researchers’ rights to their own peer-reviewed manuscripts. Through the prior licence model, a peer-reviewed manuscript can be licensed under the Creative Commons license required by the funder and deposited in Aalto’s institutional repository without any publication delay (embargo), regardless of the publisher’s terms. This helps researchers comply with open access requirements set by funders such as the Research Council of Finland and the EU.
