Publishing and Open Access

Open Access is an important part of Open Science that aims to make scholarly research freely available to readers. Choosing an appropriate publishing and Open Access route can increase the visibility, accessibility, and potential reuse of research while helping researchers meet funder, publisher, and institutional requirements.

There are several ways to make research publications openly accessible, including publishing in Open Access journals, depositing publications in repositories, and using other Open Access publishing models. Each route has different conditions related to copyright, licensing, publication fees, embargoes, and permitted versions of the publication.
