Abstract

Since yesterday's post on [The UKRI Open Access Review Consultation Document](/2020/02/13/key-points-from-the-ukri-open-access-review-consultation-document/) my inbox has been swamped by journalists, librarians, and publishers asking what the policy means for REF. The short answer is that, at the moment, it means nothing.
