Open access

Open access refers to freely accessible academic literature and information. This means that anyone can access these publications at no cost and unrestrictedly. Publications that are published under an open access licence allow all researchers to read the results of other colleagues’ work and use them in for their own research, independent of location, time, and financial resources.

Information about different aspects of open access is available on the following sites, including about the persistent identifiers ORCID iD and DOI. You can also access the university’s OPUS papers server, in which university members can search or publish.
