What is open access?
«Open access […] literature is digital, online, free of charge,
and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.»
(Peter Suber, 2012)
without costs for the readeraccessible
possibility to reuse

3. ||ETH Library
 Visibility of research results, easy
access
 Authors retain copyright
 Enables interdisciplinary and
international collaboration
 Knowledge produced by public funds
should be openly available
 …
 Because your research funder
requires it
22.01.2018Barbara Hirschmann 3
Why open access?
“What is at stake is the speed of scientific
progress and the return on R&D investment,
[…] which has enormous potential for
boosting productivity, competitiveness
and growth.”
“The results of research financed by public
funds should be […] freely and immediately
available without charge […] since they are
considered as a public good.”

How to publish open access

5. ||ETH Library
How does it work?
 Publish in a «conventional» subscription journal
 Deposit an open access version of your paper in a repository
Copyright implications
 Subscription publishers usually require authors to transfer copyright or grant
them an exclusive license to publish their work
 But: They also usually allow some sort of “self-archiving” (e.g. OA publication)
 After a certain period of time (embargo)
 If you do not upload the publisher’s PDF (no publisher layout & logo)
