Open Access
Jul 21, 2022
Freie Universität Berlin has been active in supporting the idea of open access for many years.
What ist Open Access?
Open Access stands for free access to scholarly publications. Open access publications are freely available worldwide via the Internet without any legal, technical or financial barriers.
Why Open Access?
Open Access is a benefit to all of us. Free and immediate access to research results benefits both the individual scientists and the scientific community as a whole. It accelerates academic exchange of information and experience and transfer of research results into practice.
How does Open Access work?
To meet the open access criteria of an unrestricted and free of charge access to research results, researchers can choose between the different pathways to open access.
