The document discusses the benefits of open access (OA) for the Helmholtz Association. It outlines Helmholtz's support for OA over the past decade through initiatives like signing the Berlin Declaration and establishing an OA coordination office. It describes the association's four work packages focused on awareness, green OA repositories, gold OA journals, and OA to research data. Results from the SOAP project provide insights into scientists' views on OA publishing and priorities for further developing Helmholtz's gold OA strategy.
