OCTOPUS is a new service from JISC which allows authors to publish work on a completely open access basis, without any fees and you get a freshly minted DOI too!!
It was created by Dr Alexandra Freeman, and describes itself as being "designed to be the primary research record, and to create an incentive structure which maintains the highest standards of research and research culture.
It sits alongside journals and other dissemination outlets, allowing those to specialise in delivering key findings to their audiences whilst Octopus acts like a 'patent office' to record who has done what and when, and ensure the quality, integrity and accessibility of all primary research, in full.”
If you publish in Octopus, you can still publish in a journal at a later date. Use Octopus to establish your priority for everyone to see, and to document the full details of your work.
